EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A Graphics2D clip region that consists of more than one box will cause a RasterFormatException when a full-size raster reference gets erroneously replaced with the first box's "child" raster. A subsequent box is then, by definition, outside of the first box. To reach the offending code in sun.java2d.loops.Blit.AnyBlit.Blit(), a custom Composite operator and a transform must also be specified.

Found in Java 6u3, retested in 6u10 and the problem is still present.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the provided demo program below.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Call to Graphics2D.drawImage() completes without exception.
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.image.RasterFormatException: (x + width) is outside raster

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I do not have a workaround yet from the application level. The following change to Blit.AnyBlit.Blit() appears to fix the problem:

while (si.nextSpan(span)) {
  int w = span[2] - span[0];
  int h = span[3] - span[1];
< srcRas = srcRas.createChild(srcx + span[0], srcy + span[1],
< w, h, 0, 0, null);
< dstRas = dstRas.createWritableChild(span[0], span[1],
< w, h, 0, 0, null);
< ctx.compose(srcRas, dstRas, dstRas);
> Raster spanSrcRas = srcRas.createChild(srcx + span[0], srcy + span[1],
> w, h, 0, 0, null);
> WritableRaster spanDstRas = dstRas.createWritableChild(span[0], span[1],
> w, h, 0, 0, null);
> ctx.compose(spanSrcRas, spanDstRas, spanDstRas);
}
