Kris, Dan, Thanks for feedback. I'm understanding that the javaloader.cfc and the classloader .jar should be in the working directory of the script, right?
I have classloader-20070406174551.jar, JavaLoader.cfc, and metadata-extractor-2.3.1.jar all in the same directory as the script and I'm using the following code to use them: photoFile = createObject("java","java.io.File").init(photo); //set the path paths = ArrayNew(1); paths[1] = expandPath("metadata-extractor-2.3.1.jar"); //create the loader loader = createObject("component", "JavaLoader").init(paths); //create the JpegMetadataReader instace JpegMetadataReader = loader.create("com.drew.imaging.jpeg.JpegMetadataReader"); //Read jpg file JpegMetadata = JpegMetadataReader.readMetadata(photoFile); //get directory iterator JpegDirectories = jpegMetadata.getDirectoryIterator(); Does the classloader jar need to be in the lib/ext dirs or soemthing? I've tried a few different things on two different servers.
