I have the same issue as OP. When I run the same code with same vapid locally, everything works (only once appeared exception mentioned in original post). When I run it on the server, this exception appears every time code tries to send notification. I think there could be issue with some incompatible overlapping dependencies, but I’ll have to do some further investigation.

I tried using openjdk 13 and the problem went away, but I didn’t understand why it throws an exception on jdk 17
