Andrew I

Hello!

I upgraded confluence from 6.9.0 to 6.14.1.  I am getting 500 code in browser for links like this: https://wiki.mycompany.com/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro?definition=e211bHRpZXhjZXJwdC1pbmNsdWRlOlNwYWNlV2l0aEV4Y2VycHQ9REV8TXVsdGlFeGNlcnB0TmFtZT1NZWRpYXRpb24gQUIgdGVzdGluZ3xQYWdlV2l0aEV4Y2VycHQ9QW5kcm9pZCBTREsuIEludGVncmF0aW9uIEd1aWRlfQ&locale=en_GB&version=2

Cause

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception
    at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:238)

caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.imageio.ImageTypeSpecifier
    at com.sun.imageio.plugins.png.PNGImageReader.getImageTypes(PNGImageReader.java:1508)

Hello there! Thanks for sharing with the Community.

First thing, I would like to ask you a few questions:

1. Is this your production instance?
2. What kind of problems does this error bring?
3. If there is any on-screen error, does it affect all users?
4. Is this present in any page that you visit?
5. Is your instance currently up and running?
6. Are you able to normally create and edit content within Confluence?
7. Which version of Java do you have installed?

Also, looking through Stackoverflow, I was able to find a similar issue:

Could not initialize class javax.imageio.ImageIO

The issue was related to the use of OpenJDK. Is that your case?

Let us know!
