Question

CF8.01 ImagePaste 500 error

  • June 25, 2011

I'm tearing my hair out now, been trying to fix this problem for over a week.

- Pages using the imagepaste function are throwing a 500 error.

- this behaviour just started apparently out of the blue for no reason, no updates were performed, function was fine for a year +

- since then, I have: updated Java 1.6.0_26 , applied the cumulative hot fix 4 [8,0,1,195765] & applied the cfimage patch [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403411.html]

- still getting the same issue. on the first attempt to run the imagepaste function I get the first stack trace below, on every subsequent attempt I get the second trace.

the common thing that keeps popping up is "Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI" - how do I find where/why this is not being initialized? is it a file somewhere a class in a file - could it be permissions?

HELP!!

first trace:

500

    Having a furious problem with this CF8 install and image functions, most image functions [imagepaste(), etc] will throw a 500 error:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI
    other functions will not, it seems that functions that have to actually manipulate or change the image in some way fail with a 500 error, images that return information about an image run fine. 
    the server is a centos DV at mediatemple, CF has been patched with the cumulative HF4, & the image function hotfix. Still got errors. I've tried updating to jdk 1.6.0_24, downgrading as well! I've even tried placing new jai_*.jar jar files in the class path. 
    It was working fine for 2+ years, then just one day stopped working, no updates were performed before it died, nothing. 
    I've been wrestling with this problem for about 3 weeks now. More info at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6270271/coldfusion-imagepaste-500-error 
    Has anyone got ANY ideas, this is a production server & can't exactly be reinstalled.
    -thanks

    Have the images you're processing started coming from a new source?  The reason why I ask is that CF has problems with idiosyncracies of image files which will cause problems.  That said, it usually just gives a "invalid image" error or similar.
    Does it happen with all images, or just some / most?
    As you're probably fully aware (so sorry for stating the obvious) problems don't start for "no reason" so there must've been some change that took place that has caused this to start.

    I did get this resolved by rolling back and reapplying hotfixes and patches. But I never did track down the original cause...  literally the client called me one day and said "this function isn't working' .... I had'nt patched or updated in months, no new code, nothing... I was literally down to filesystem errors. So yea - 'something' happened... I just don't know what.
