I tried to call a Method from Java via LiveConnect with a bogus Parameter, expecting an excpetion to occur. The exception had been raised successfuly but when i tried to run the page a second time i got a strange error message in my firebug window

"uncaught exception: internal error: Can't get Java class name usingjava.lang.Class.getName()"

This occurs as long as you dont't restart firfox. If you did everything works fine until you repeat the step above. I tried to google if there was an solution for this error but i didn't find one. 

I run JRE 1.6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Firefox 2.0.0.4

2. Download JRE 1.6

3. Install Firebug extension

4. Set up a simple html page with following script code

try{
   
   // run this method with a wrong type
  java.lang.Integer.parseInt("Hello");
}
catch(e){
	console.log(e);
}

5. Look at the output in firebug <no output>

6. Run the Page a second time

7. Look at the output in firebug
Actual Results:  
"uncaught exception: internal error: Can't get Java class name usingjava.lang.Class.getName()"

"internal error" is a javaism it isn't part of our code. report the problem to your java vendor. if they have a problem, let them complain to us, otherwise, we assume it's their fault (as the error is theirs and only they can explain it).

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
