55518 - Browser hangs on AllocObject call (using OJI API tests)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P2)

Description

[rpallath]

Using the PR3 JRE version on Solaris

Mozilla browser hangs on AllocObject call. Seems to be wating forever.

Seems to be stuck in waiting for a response which it never gets.
Without a fix for the above, most of OJI API tests would fail.


Test base is in dir.: modules/oji/src/tests

[ Internal SUN Bugtar ID 4375923 ]

The Java Plugin folks at SUN already are working on this bug.

Updated Status whiteboard for tracking SUN high priority bugs
Also bumped up the priorit from P3 to P2.

Another NOTE:, this bugs can be simulated only thru' aPI tests.
A normal user will not be able to simulate this just using the JRE, by invoking
applets.

Tried the fix with FCS version of java Plugin and Mozilla of the tip of RTM 
branch on Solaris 2.7 and Win32 and Linux 6.2

Used a workaround to resolve FindClass problem. findclass expects a Classname 
and returns a 'jclass' object.

Invoke java Plugin  Control Panel(usually in the JRE/bin dir)
 Set Java Runtime Parmeters to
-Xbootclasspath/a:<class dir>

After doing the above FindClass returned a valid jclass object which was passed 
to AllocObject and which accordingly returned correct value.

Fixed.

Per Raju's latest test, the problem no longer exists, may have been fixed by
some other bug fix.
