ColdFusion 8 EXIF error

I was updating an app to take advantage of CF8's new EXIF reading abilities, and came across an error. When I tried to call imageGetEXIFMetaData() on a certain image, I got a 500 java.lang.StackOverflowError (you can read the complete error in the attached HTML file).

I took a peek at the stack, and found that Adobe is using Metadata Extractor by Drew Noakes. Reading the change log, I found that the bug I hit was fixed with version 2.3.0.

So, I stopped my CF8 service, and replaced %CFROOT%/lib/metadata-extractor-2.2.2.jar with my newly downloaded metadata-extractor-2.3.1.jar. Started CF back up, and my error went away.

Ah, the beauty of Java!

Comments
Thanks for this post I am sure it will help a lot of us until this is patched officially by Adobe.
