Java Exception when run as Windows Task

ScottSelikoff — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 03:45:41 GMT

I have a Java program that uses ArcObjects (v10 /w SP2). It works fine when I execute it via command line (cmd.exe) in Windows, but if I try to execute it as a Windows Task, it throws an Java exception. There's a lot of information in the exception but nothing that indicates why it failed.

Below is a snippet of the exception:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#

I've tried with more recent versions of Java 1.6 without any difference. I've also tried setting Xmx/Xmx/Xss values but with no change. Any suggestions?

As I said, it works without issue if I execute it from a command line. I've checked the permissions on the Windows Task and its set to execute with highest permissions.

Hy,
how did you configured it to run as WindowsTask? Same user?

You could try to force using the JRE provide by your ArcGIS software (Desktop, Engine, Server)

Originally it was set with the same user, whether logged in or not. When it started having issues I tried a variety of users and permissions with no change.

I don't think I installed a JRE when I installed the Engine. Either way I tried with a variety of 1.6 JREs, old and new, without any change.

Hy,
could you try this solution:

When setting up the scheduled task in Windows Vista/7 consider choosing the check-box for "Run with highest privileges" from the general tab, as this removes the need to always provide administrator privileges and may resolve other issues as well.
