cdb-ext url crashes local native client on startup if not nullified

[SEsternO]

Using minimal dcm4chee-arc-light 5.29.0, deployed with docker-compose and weasis-pacs-connector 7.1.2.

IID_PATIENT_URL=../../weasis-pacs-connector/weasis?patientID={{patientID}}&cdb
IID_STUDY_URL=../../weasis-pacs-connector/weasis?studyUID={{studyUID}}&cdb

by the docs.

The problem is in this url that the connector gives to the browser:
weasis://$dicom:get -w "http://192.168.94.35:8080/weasis-pacs-connector/RequestManifest;jsessionid=Iwd6k2ilkvJgIHqmACNhyOq71aYvjDWq9dLpo2oH.bc985330fa84?id=2" $weasis:config cdb cdb-ext="http://192.168.94.35:8080/weasis-ext",
particularly in the presence of cdb-ext parameter. With it, the local native client crashes with "Failed to launch JVM" error.

I didn't manage to find anything about it in the docs (mostly why I type this issue), but i did a workaround myself, as it's similar to nullifying the cdb parameter - just nullify cdb-ext as well, e.g.:

IID_PATIENT_URL=../../weasis-pacs-connector/weasis?patientID={{patientID}}&cdb&cdb-ext
IID_STUDY_URL=../../weasis-pacs-connector/weasis?studyUID={{studyUID}}&cdb&cdb-ext

and the client starts and opens images as it should.

That said, besides weasis-pacs-connector I also first installed weasis.war and weasis-ext.war, but then saw that weasis.war is discontinued and deleted both weasis.war and weasis-ext.war. Not sure if that might've messed up the things in the first place somehow.

Yes Weasis server side is not mandatory, it allows to update minor versions of Weasis without the need to update Weasis with the installer.

We will soon propose a new component that will replace weasis-pacs-connector and allow to better manage user preferences and launch contexts.
