Exception in thread "Root Thread" java.lang.nullPointerException: Could not initialize inverse tables

Question

Trying to replace:

ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE.PROCESSCOPY(P_BLOB, 'maxScale=100 100', V_DST);

Seemed to be working last week, now I'm getting the error "Exception in thread "Root Thread" java.lang.nullPointerException: Could not initialize inverse tables".

Can't find much information on the error anywhere.

The error occurs here:

imageBuff.getGraphics().drawImage(scaledImage, 0, 0, new Color(0,0,0), null);

Oracle Functions:

function BLOB_THUMBNAIL(P_BLOB in Blob, P_MAX_SIZE in Number, P_ATTACH_SID in varchar2 := null) return Blob is

        V_DST              Blob;

    begin

        V_DST := resizeBLOB(P_BLOB, P_MAX_SIZE, P_MAX_SIZE);

    end BLOB_THUMBNAIL;

    function BLOB_THUMBNAIL_OLD(P_BLOB in Blob, P_MAX_SIZE in Number) return Blob is

        V_DST   Blob;

    begin
        DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(V_DST, true);

        DBMS_LOB.OPEN(V_DST, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);

        ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE.PROCESSCOPY(P_BLOB, 'maxScale=' || P_MAX_SIZE || ' ' || P_MAX_SIZE, V_DST);

        DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(V_DST);

        return V_DST;

end BLOB_THUMBNAIL_OLD;
