InvocationTargetException on FishEye

[Gerald Schneider]

I just noticed that one of our FishEye instances throws HTTP 500 errors on image related requests.

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException 
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException    
Could not initialize class javax.imageio.ImageIO

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Could not initialize class org.jfree.chart.encoders.ImageEncoderFactory

On Tuesday the 5th I updated both instances from 4.8.1 to 4.8.2, I assume the problem appeared after the update.

The Log Analyzer doesn't find anything, the server log is not more helpful (can't post it here as it exceeds the maximum post length).

Where can I start to debug this further?

@Gerald Schneider  Since you have upgraded, you will need to add  the below in the block quote  if  you dont have  in   Environment variables 

FISHEYE_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true

Please give feed back.

Kind regards,

Mo

This solved the problem.

Maybe this option should be set directly in FishEye when it is necessary now?

[Moses Thomas]

Well it depends on how  you performed the upgrade, i also think that  if you do it via  the   installer,  in Windows you would need to un-install first  as stated here

Upgrading Fisheye on Windows   it is supposed to  be auto added.  In Unix like OS, I always extract new version installation  files  and see what changed  in the required files  and then add it to my existing file during upgrade  so that i don't miss any thing.

[Gerald Schneider]

Well, that's exactly what I do. I extract the new version and make all necessary changes to the new files, I don't copy over files from the previous version.

@Gerald Schneider  Then it definitely has to do with the java  Open JDK  version that  you are using. Mostly likely the package is missing.

[Damyan Yordanov]

Setting the option works for me for java jdk8u242-b08. Doesn't seem to work for jdk8u252-b09, though. It really seems that the package is missing there.
