Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI - CF11

[JonOnTheWeb]

Hey all,

We have a bit of an odd issue on one of our Linux CentOS 7 64bit servers with ColdFusion 11 Enterprise (latest patches installed), when we use features in CFImage we get the following logged errors:

ERROR

"Error","ajp-bio-8014-exec-5","03/13/17","15:29:25",,"Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/test/public_html/test.cfm, line: 8 "

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI

Any ideas on what could be the issue here? We have done an update on the JAVA version and also checked that all jai_core.jar/jai_codec.jar/jai_imageio.jar are present and correct.

Cheers!

Bug test: what does the following code produce

<cfset testJAIObject = createobject("java", "javax.media.jai.JAI")>

<cfdump var="#testJAIObject#">

Same problem here!

But possibly resolved after revising Java settings

to include -XX:+UseG1GC (replacing -XX:+UseParallelGC).

And it still worked after changing back to Parallel,

but maybe more trustworthy with the G1 setting.

ColdFusion 11 Update 13

Java 1.8.0_161

Sandbox security enabled

Windows Server 2012 R2

same issue here.   CF2016 update 6  jre1.8.0_171

tried G1GC, didn't fix the problem.  

tried reverting back to c:\coldfusion2016\jre\.  didn't fix the problem 

happens on invoke of imageScaleToFit()

additionally, the exception that's thrown is uncatchable with <cfcatch type="any">
