Adam Joel Richards created PDFBOX-1933:
------------------------------------------
Summary: PDFParser loops infinitely when loaded by JSP instead of
NetBeans
Key: PDFBOX-1933
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1933
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parsing
Affects Versions: 1.8.4
Environment: Apache Tomcat 7, NetBeans 7.4, Windows 8.1
Reporter: Adam Joel Richards
Priority: Minor
I wrote a class to split large PDF files into segments, using NetBeans. When I
run it as a local project, it works perfectly. It uses PDFParser to read the
file input stream and output the document, so I can strip annotations and other
stuff out and upload it to my database. The code is as follows:
PDFParser pdfParser = new PDFParser( inputStream );
pdfParser.parse();
return pdfParser.getDocument();
The PDFParser works when I run it as a standalone Java package. As soon as I
embed it in a JSP, it loops forever. I get no error messages of any kind, but
I can see that my Java processes are increasing in size, and that the file I'm
working on (the original PDF) is locked by the OS. I have to shut down Java
altogether to delete or rename it.
I have no idea what the difference is when it is when it is run by a JSP
calling the class file. If there is a simple solution and this is a repeat of
the old infinite loop bug, could someone point me in the right direction? I
have scoured the net looking for solutions, but I've had no luck.
