[Geoserver-devel] [geowebcache-users] Access Violation Exception when Seeding

Hi, first off, sorry for the cross-posting.
Sherwin it's ok to ask here at the gwc-users mailing list. I'm cc'ing
the geoserver-devel list in case some developer already faced this kind
of problem with native JAI/ImageIO.

Our friend here is getting the following VM crashes when gwc tries to
decode a jpeg image using ImageIO:

http://old.nabble.com/file/p31533035/hs_err_pid5892.log

I'm not sure what may be going on, nor if the following is really
relevant, but since it seems you can reproduce kind of consistently, I
wonder if you removed the jai jars from your geoserver's WEB-INF/lib (rm
geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/jai* or the equivalent windows command)

Cheers,
Gabriel.

I've been running a seeding task for a group layer in GeoServer and came
across this exception twice. I'm running GeoServer 2.1-RC5 with GWC 1.2.6. I
wasn't sure whether to post this here or on GWC's list, so if that is the
better place please let me know. I have attached the error log created when
the exception occurred.

Background info, the group layer consists of an ERDAS imagine image and a
small group of high-res JPEG2000 files. I'm seeding a relatively small
extent at this time (southeast US). Each time I can run the job again it
will begin seeding from wherever it left off.

I am running Windows XP SP3 with JRE6 Update 24. I have installed the Native
JAI extensions as described on this page
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/production/java.html#install-native-jai-and-jai-image-i-o-extensions.

Nothing interesting to be found in wrapper.log or geoserver.log.
Let me know if you need any additional details.
