java.lang.RuntimeException: ERROR: Failed to recover corrupt cache entry

Question

I just had this error message from one of my users. (IE8, Java 1.6.20 ). It is from an applet which receives instructions from Javascript and executes certain processes on the client.

RangeError
java.lang.RuntimeException: ERROR: Failed to recover corrupt cache entry

at com.sun.deploy.cache.CacheEntry.getSignerMap

at com.sun.deploy.cache.CachedJarFile.access$100
....

Any iddeas what could be causing this?

I have the same problem with Java 1.7. – Canopy

Same problem with Java 1.6, update 29 – Spinoff

A bit more info: This happens over webstart and clearing the cache did not help. Also, it seems to be reported again here: forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10114803 – Spinoff

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing and it also does not appear to be the bug that Stephen C references. – Horror

Answer 1

It might be this bug. If so the workaround would appear to be to clear the java cache and try again.

Answer 2

I have experienced this problem at java1.8_0.31 and Only workaround I found so far that put packed jars (pack.gz) to same directory with your jar(s). When tracing the servlet i see that

JnlpDownloadServlet(3): Request: /MyWeb/signed.jnlp
JnlpDownloadServlet(3): User-Agent: JNLP/1.7.0 javaws/11.31.2.13 (<internal>) Java/1.8.0_31

And at client side when tracing log is shown that

Client behaves coming plain jar file as packed and gziped jar. Maybe need to examine HTTP Header to why client do that.

Second solution is that in our case we don't use JnlpDownloadServlet and HTTP Server(IBM HTTP SERVER) apply gzip to plain jar file. We configure "do not apply gzip to jar request" and problem gone. – Mammet

In my case, Apache was serving the jar files. And the SetOutputFilter DEFLATE was included in the Apache conf file. Adding an exception to that filter (SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.jar$ no-gzip dont-vary) fixed my problem. – Stricklin
