Languagetool 6.5 and Debian: -Djdk.xml.totalEntitySizeLimit=2000000 #29
Description
With OpenJDK 24 (Debian sid), and LanguageTool 6.5, the execution seems to hit a limit on the xml decoder (in /etc/java-24-openjdk/jaxp.properties)
It is easily visible with commandline
$ java -version
openjdk version "24-ea" 2025-03-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 24-ea+29-Debian-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24-ea+29-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)
$ java -jar /usr/local/src/LanguageTool-6.5/languagetool-commandline.jar -l fr
...
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 68; columnNumber: 54354; JAXP00010004: The accumulated size of entities is "100,016" that exceeded the "100,000" limit set by "jaxp.properties".
...
It is working with
java -Djdk.xml.totalEntitySizeLimit=2000000 -jar /usr/local/src/LanguageTool-6.5/languagetool-commandline.jar -l fr
Editing my jaxp.properties to set xml.totalEntitySizeLimit to 2 millions is sufficient but it may be hard to find for common users.
Alternative: passing an optional argument to java (and not to the server)
