Java Exception in 2.5.0

[orgon3]

Pretty self explanatory. I am just reporting an exception being thrown, that was not intended to be thrown. Included are my debug files. Please let me know if I can help with this any further.

Code: Select all

Did you read that new version needs Java v7?

[kuroukage]

You can download the latest version of Java 7 here.

Are you guys being serious right now? Before posting, why not look at my logs? The seventh line in,

Code: Select all

INFO  2013-03-08 19:37:10.058 [main] Java: 1.7.0_17-Oracle Corporation

Please do not post useless posts here. I know you're trying to help, but at least look at what you're helping with beforehand if you want to help.

On my mobile display I saw

Code: Select all

 window only.
The uploaded log link is so small that I overlooked it:-)
Do you have IP address forced? If yes, are you using dhcp?
Maybe I saw similar errors when IP was manually forced to one which was different from one dhcp gave to my network interface.... still I haven't opened your log due to small display, sorry.

It's no worries ExSport. I understand that 99% of the Java related issues on the forums since 2.5.0 were due to Java 7 not being installed. In any case, my computer's IP is static via reservation table on the router. Windows is set up to use DHCP, it's just that DHCP will always return the same IP for the MAC address associated with this computer.

This is the line that causes the crash:

Code: Select all

sb.append("LOCATION: http://").append(PMS.get().getServer().getHost()).append(":").append(PMS.get().getServer().getPort()).append("/description/fetch" + CRLF);

Now the only reason for this can be a lot of course. My guess would be inline with ExSport and I suspect that you try to use some exotic address/port combination.

We could add detection for this error but the only thing it can do is till to just ignore the request.
DHCP should (according to the RFCs) ALWAYS return the same address for the same client(=mac) if it can.

Try and use out-of-the box settings one time....

[orgon3]

It hasn't occurred since the first time, with no change in settings.
