Exception loading CustomMeta from Tridion Broker Service (2009 SP1)

I am trying to load some Custom Meta from a component which is published into the Tridion Broker. This is 2009 SP1 I can see the component in the Custom_Meta table with a query like: ``` SELECT * FROM [Tridion_Broker].[dbo].[CUSTOM_META] WHERE ITEM_ID = 204221 ``` However using the below code, I get a Java Runtime exception on the line where I do GetMeta. I have noticed that if my queryStringId is a proper TCM ID then it will throw the excpetion but if I just put the item Id it will return null. ``` string queryStringId = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["component_uri"]); string pageId = ((BasePage) Page).PageTcmId; int publicationId = int.Parse(pageId.Split(':')[1].Split('-')[0]); using (var cmf = new ComponentMetaFactory(publicationId)) { IComponentMeta cm = cmf.GetMeta(queryStringId); if(cm != null) { VideoId = cm.CustomMeta.GetValue("video_url").ToString(); } else { litMessage.Visible = true; } } ``` Stack trace: ``` [RuntimeException] Codemesh.JuggerNET.NTypeValue.Throw(Int64 inst) +351 Codemesh.JuggerNET.JavaClass.ThrowTypedException(Int64 inst) +1278 Codemesh.JuggerNET.JavaMethod.CallObject(JavaProxy jpo, JavaMethodArguments args) +551 Codemesh.JuggerNET.JavaMethod.CallObject(JavaProxy jpo, Type declaredType, Boolean bLeaf, JavaMethodArguments jargs) +50 Com.Tridion.Meta.ComponentMetaFactory.GetMeta(Int32 componentId) +118 Tridion.ContentDelivery.Meta.ComponentMetaFactory.GetMeta(Int32 componentId) +16 ASP._controls_video_ascx.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs args) in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\borland\us\_controls\Video.ascx:18 System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e) +14 System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e) +35 System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +99 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +50 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +141 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +141 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +141 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +627 ``` Update I have looked in the Broker log with the log enabled on "info" level and am seeing nothing after "Tridion Broker is enabled". Is this a configuration or DLL problem? It looks like the CD is not calling the service at all? Update 2 I have tried a lot of things and still no help. It's like the code is not able to communicate with the JVM, however I can see the JVM being started in the event log.
