46518 - Javascript call Java and Java callback to Javascript fails

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[rpallath]

This particular Test when invoked on Mozilla (7/25/2000 nighlty build).
using latest XPinstall Java Plugin (to be shipped with Netscape 6 PR2).
would throw an Exception and throw a java Plugin Exception Dialog box and hangs
the browser.

java.security.PriveledgedActionException:java.lang.reflectInvocationTargetException

at java.security.AccessController.doPrivleged(Native Method)
at  sun.plugin.liveconnect.Secureinvocation.CallMethod(


The test is faulty as it catches theException but then does not return.
It continues and that 's when it fails.

But then this could be very common in many of the pages out there, and 
it should not  hang the browser.

It does prompt the dilaog correctly but should not hang.


See Attchmt for the Tar (contains HTML , .class file and .java file).

We(Stanley and me) figured out a fix in Plugin side and the bug will be fixed in

Just another test case: http://www.highscore.de/mozilla/socket.html 
The error described in bug 95930 also happens when trying to create a 
java.net.Socket object (again access denied).
