VerifyError: Error #1033 Cpool entry 1 is wrong type - Java Server

Report · May 03, 2010

Hello, there!

I need some help if someone else has already face this problem.

I have a Java server that process the bytes of a SWF File stored in the server and ouptut it to the user through a Servlet. The file was decompressed and re-compressed using the java.util.zip package.

Everything works fine on Windows Server 2008 server. But now we need migrate the server to Linux. The problem is that when I test the website now, the Flash Player throws this error: VerifyError: Error #1033 Cpool entry 1 is wrong type.

Nothing has changed on client side, not even on the SWF.

The documentation is too generic/vague about this error, only saying that this means that the SWF is corrupted. But everything runs normal on Windows Server configuration, when changed to Linux, this messages appears... what could possible be the cause?

My Windows Server is:

. Windows Server 2008 (6.0 - x86)

. Apache 2.2.11

. Tomcat 6.0.16.0

. Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04

My CentOS Server is

. CentOS 5.4 (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 - i386)

. Apache 2.2.3

. Tomcat 6.0.16.0

. Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04

Please, if someone could give me a lead, I would appreciate very much!

Thank you all in advance,

CaioToOn!

Doesn't sound like a flash issue at all to me. I'd look more at server environment differences (java runtime versions and the like) and less towards Flash. I'm not a server or Java guru, but the main suspects to me looks like either the (de)compression or the communication.

Thank you, Taylor!

You were right! The problem isn't about Flash.

The problem was about encoding, with the clue of Neil Coffey I could figure out the problem. It can be checked here for anyone who interest.

Thank you again,

CaioToOn!
