We are trying to use JAI for a new type of JPEG images.
These are technically "valid" Jpeg images which use color-separated "layers".
when we create a planar image using these type of images we are getting
IllegalArgument Exception.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Tables must be 0, 1, 2, or 3.
        at sun.awt.image.codec.JPEGParam.setDCHuffmanComponentMapping(Unknown So
urce)

More information about the JPEG format, Sample code and images is attached

We used jai-1_1_1_01,JDK1.4 (j2sdk1.4.2_04) we tried using the new
version of JAI too. It resulted in same exception.
These JPEG images are generated by a new scanner from IBM called Trac
II.
These images are rendered in IE, Microsoft image editor without any
issues

Attached zip file has the sample code, jar files, start.bat
Please take a look at processImage() method in WLIJAIRunTest.java
Iam also attaching a word document which has details about the JPEG
image which we are
trying to process.


Installation instructions:
1.Unzip the attached zip file
2.change start.bat to point to the jar files which are attached in this
zip.
3.execute start.bat

You will get an exception.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Tables must be 0, 1, 2, or 3.

The problem is in the bundled com.sun.image.codec.jpeg JPEG decoder, not in JAI per se. This may be verified by attempting to load the image SA-8507_00012.jpg contained in the attached Zip archive using the attached test class JPEGTest.
