GroupDocs.Annotation fails getting a document

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying your product (Annotation library).

I wanted to try it and downloaded the trial version.

I tried this example from GitHub (https://github.com/groupdocs-annotation/GroupDocs.Annotation-for-Java/tree/master/Showcase/GroupDocs.Annotation-for-Java-using-Servlets) but it failed with
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) document/info?file=candy.pdf.

Because of this feature is one of the most important things I'd like to get if I buy this library.
So I have to know for sure that it properly works. 
OS: Ubuntu.

Best regards

Greetings!


Thanks for taking interest in GroupDocs.Annotation for Java 3.x and posting your concerns. We are not able to reproduce same issue at our end.
Did you apply license for API evaluation? If not then we’d recommend you to use a temporary license for evaluation. See how to apply license properly here.
Please apply license and share your afterwards experience.

Best wishes

Hi Sergey,


In addition to our previous reply, can you please also share following details:

  • Linux distribution and version.
  • Java vendor and version
  • or just share output of java -version

It will help us to investigate your issue in depth, if its not related to to license only.

Best wishes

Good Day Sergey,


Did you apply temporary license for evaluation? Please make sure it was applied properly.

Many Thanks

Hello Sergey,


Furthermore, can you please let us know the exception on server side or output of /document/info URL? That may help us to dig into the issue, if it is not occurring due to invalid license.

Thanks

Hello Atir,



I opened that URL in a new tab. See stacktrace on the screenshot attached.
Also I didn’t manage to get a temporary licence. I saw just a blank page.

Hi Sergey,


Apparently it seems like a storage path issue. However, we are working on it. As a workout, you can use absolute path of storage directory in project.properties file.
Change <span class=“pl-k” style=“box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(167, 29, 93); font-family: SFMono-Regular, Consolas, “Liberation Mono”, Menlo, Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);”>storage.path<span style=“color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-family: SFMono-Regular, Consolas, “Liberation Mono”, Menlo, Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);”>=${basedir}/storage to absolute path (home/user/storage etc). This may resolve your issue.

Kind regards

Hi Atir,



Also I’m not able to get a temporary license. Could you explain what steps I have to do to get it, please?

Hi Atir,


I have changed ‘storage.path’ value to absolute path but it still fails with the same exception.
