Hi,

We also got same error during upgrade 6.3 --> 1811. Debugging IllegalArgumentException helped to resolve the issue. thanks

I ran into the same problem. To find out where the error is thrown, add a breakpoint on the line throw new IllegalArgumentException in ManagedMap (a Spring class).

In my case, it was caused by a custom bean that had acceleratorDynamicAttributesOrderStatusDisplayByMap as a parent. The definition of that bean has changed. It now uses a reference to a map bean that holds the status values:

 <bean id="acceleratorDynamicAttributesOrderStatusDisplayByMap"
       class="de.hybris.platform.orderhandler.DynamicAttributesOrderStatusDisplayByMap">
         <property name="statusDisplayMap" ref="acceleratorStatusDisplayMap" />
         <property name="defaultStatus" value="processing"/>
     </bean>

In previous versions, the map was defined directly when setting the property. Apparently, Spring doesn't like it when you want to merge a map where the parent is using a ref bean instead of a map directly. I solved it (for now) by just copying the values of the acceleratorStatusDisplayMap to my map, and setting merge=falseon my bean definition.

Hi Kabilan I am facing the error when upgrading hybris from 5.x to 6.x, please advise if you found any solution for this
