[Geoserver-users] GetCapabilities issue using Geoserver on tomcat

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi,

I have a strange issue with Geoserver.
Installing on tomcat (6 or 7) doing a WMS GetCapabilities request I get
always an exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at
oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer.setOutputProperty(JXTransformer.java:796)
at
org.geotools.xml.transform.TransformerBase.createTransformer(TransformerBase.java:90)
...
etc.

With the binary version, using embedded jetty, works all fine. Other
requests, for example GetMap, work fine.

I'm using the latest stable version (2.2.5) on a Debian GNU/Linux
testing and stable installations.
I tried all the combination of tomcat (6 and 7) and jvm (6 and 7).

Any suggest?
Any missing library?

Alberto

You should include the whole stack trace

Which JVM? The only officially supported JDK is Oracle JDK 6
(not 7, not OpenJDK)

Ok, it works with Oracle jvm 1.6 and tomcat 6.
Just a remark. The documentation says:

GeoServer requires Java to be installed on your system. Oracle Java SE 6
or newer is strongly recommended.

Should be better remove the word "newer".

Anyway, many thanks.
Wonderful software.

Ciao Alberto,

Indeed there are more information here:

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/production/java.html#production-java

that is linked from the general page about installation, "please see
the section on Java Considerations"
Probably it makes sense to stress the Java 7 considerations also in
the general section.

Kid Regards,

Stefano
