Tomcat crashed due to JASPER v5.6.0

Hi All,

We are creating PDFs using JASPER v5.6.0. It works fine but for the same PDF request JASPER is taking down the whole Tomcat server (production) every second day.

Once Tomcat server is restarted then the same PDF starts working fine until next day and then there will be another server crash due to native code i.e.; JASPER

We have narrowed it down and found out that JasperFillManager fill (...) method is responsible for the crash.

                LocalJasperReportsContext ctx = iniJasperReportsContext(request);  
                JasperFillManager fillmgr = JasperFillManager.getInstance(ctx);
                logger.debug(classAndMethodName + " Before Fill the report with data from dataSource");
                JasperPrint jasperPrint = fillmgr.fill(jasperReport, parameters, dataSource);   // Fill the report with data from dataSource

Since above crashed the server so Catch and the Finally blocks didn't executed as well and we don't have the exact stacktrace of the issue. Previously we are facing the same crashing issue with JASPER v5.2.0 so we migrated to JASPER v5.6.0 but unfortunately it didn't help.

Can you please advise what could be the reason and the possible solution for this severe crashing issue?

Our Environment details are as below;

java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
