Description

When testing the following example

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sanselan/trunk/src/test/java/org/apache/sanselan/sampleUsage/MetadataExample.java

with apache-sanselan-incubating-0.97 it always stops working throwing a ClassCastException. It seems, that the line

TiffField gpsLatitudeRefField = jpegMetadata
.findEXIFValue(TiffConstants.GPS_TAG_GPS_LATITUDE_REF);

returns the Interoperability Index (R98) instead of the GPS Latitude Ref.
