Railo 4 only: Fix 'Could not initialize class org.owasp.esapi.codecs.Base64' error #28

Closed nomadinjax closed 11 years ago

nomadinjax commented 11 years ago

This error is a mystery and was not occurring under Railo 3.x. It is causing almost half of the unit tests for Railo to error.

The error always occurs when accessing the ESAPI4J Base64 class.

I believe this may be a server configuration issue but not yet sure. I have found a workaround but definitely needs a solution.

Workaround: create a test page which does nothing the following:

j = createObject("java", "org.owasp.esapi.codecs.Base64").DONT_BREAK_LINES;

Run this test page first once the Railo server is online. Then you can run the unit tests for Railo to get accurate results. Not sure why this causes the error to not occur. Multi-threading issue?

resolved in v1.1 by converting encoders to use Java counterparts
