ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in Linux-WebSphere 6.1.0.45 - IBM fix received and works!

[saran1097]

UPDATE:

IBM has acknowledged the bug in Linux-WebSphere 6.1.0.45 and provided a test fix that worked in our testing environments - the failure was when performing line break measuring on a number of different truetype fonts loaded from file. Nothing is expected from JasperSoft at this point. Thanks.

 

Hi,

We have been running Jasper reports in our Struts based web application without any issues. Recently in one of our testing environment we have run into report generation failures. All the Jasper reports are failing in the below environment - whereas works fine in Windows environment running the same WebSphere patch level (WAS 6.1.0.45).

Jasper Reports version: 4.0.1

The environment is:

WebSphere Platform 6.1 [bASE 6.1.0.45 cf451235.03]

Host Operating System is Linux, version 2.6.18-348.6.1.el5

Java version = 1.5.0, Java Compiler = j9jit23, Java VM name = IBM J9 VM

 

The stack trace we got is:

All our reports have Arial fonts and the font is bundled as jar file and provided in the classpath for the web application. Please help. Please let me know if any more detail is needed from my side.

Thanks in advance for your time and help,
