Ben and Andrea, I finally got it to work today. I ended up adding the JRE home, bin, and lib\ext locations to my PATH statement, probably overkill but it was late enough I just wanted to put all the key directories in the PATH. What really seemed to be the key, though, was entering the locations of the three native JAI JAR files to the 'Java Classpath' line (Java tab) in the Tomcat properties manager.
Ben, I am using Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) and Tomcat 6.0.35 so I am not sure if it is directly applicable to your setup, but wanted to pass on what worked for me. Thank you for offering to help! Andrea, thank you for the troubleshooting help. Once I get my development server back I will redo the process to see the minimal steps required to get GeoServer on Windows 2003 to recognize the native JAI and will pass that on if you are interested. One might only have to update the classpath in the Tomcat properties manager, and nothing else, but I do not know as I did not go back and try that. Since the setup I need right now works, I am going to leave it alone. - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
