78224 - nsGlobalWindow.cpp: NavigatorImpl::JavaEnabled should ask OJI, not Plugins.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[edburns]

The method stated in the Summary asks the plugin sub-system if java is 
enabled.  This method fails when it happens that java isn't implemented via a 
plugin, but rather as an XPCOM component, as is the case in future 
implementations of java.  

In any case, it is more correct to ask the OJI service about the enabled status 
of Java than it is to ask the plugins.  I'm attaching a diff.  I'd like to get 
this into the trunk.

Not sure why joki, dr, and hyatt are cc'd, but not jst.  Adding XPCOM buddies.

Are you sure you want a CID (SID, warren wouuld say; GUID that identifies a
particular implementation of a "class" or "service") rather than a contractid?

Thanks Brendan, I'll use the contract ID.  Given that, can you give sr=brendan?

Comment 5

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

How about jst, the module owner, gives an r= first?  Let my sr= depend on that,
you don't need to ask me again.
