Alessio, Thank you for the response, but the solutions in the blogpost did not resolve the issue I was having. I ended up getting it to work by putting hardlinks in the GeoServer WEB-INF directory that pointed to the native JAI files installed in the JDK.
The way I had read the documentation it looked to me like the JAI files installed by GeoServer would be different than the native libraries I downloaded and that it was safe to delete them out of WEB-INF because they were no longer required. I wanted to clean the files in GeoServer out because I did not want potentially incompatible versions of the same file on the server. After making the change, the Server Status page in GeoServer Manager still shows Native JAI as false, but I am going to guess that is because of my use of hardlinks to point to the native libraries. I very well could be wrong, but everything is working so I am going to leave well enough alone now and continue adding services to GeoServer. - Michael >>> Alessio Fabiani <alessio.fabi...@geo-solutions.it> 5/16/2012 3:08 AM >>> You need to tweak a bit the configuration options of your Tomcat.
