I’ve run into this a couple of times…so I thought I post it here. I don’t believe it’s a bug so won’t post on Atlassian. (I will post there if anyone thinks it’s useful)
PDF report is created using cfsavecontent/cfdocument.
User reports “Error opening PDF” browser message. No PDF is created.
Exception Log shows
;cannot load class through its string name, because no definition for the class with the specified name [org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4ML] could be found caused by (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4ML;java…
This is misleading…
Restart Lucee service, try to produce report again. Same browser error however a different server error message

Thanks @cfmitrah . I can’t reliably reproduce it either…it’s just happened 3 times in production in the last 6 months or so. I haven’t been able to determine what the conditions are that cause the issue. Seems to be a process holding on to a lock too long or something. But once it happens the only fix is that noted above. This unpredictability is why I mentioned I wasn’t sure it was a bug (and didn’t report it as such) It may simply be unique to our environment…but in case it wasn’t I posted the workaround.
My output doesn’t include images so I’m not sure that 1849 applies…
Oh…FWIW Lucee 5.2.8.50, Tomcat/8.5.11, Windows Server 2012 R2 (6.3) 64bit
