417996 - Applets crash the browser in linux with 1.6 JDK [@ libjavaplugin_nscp.so] [@ ProxyJNIEnv::ProxyJNIEnv]

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

I am using the latest trunk in linux (debian sid).  I have the latest jdk from SUN (1.6.0_04-b12).  I can get the applets to work sometimes, but it still crashes within a minute on some applets.  To re-create, try some of the applets from the url.

The 1.4.2_16-b05 JDK doesn't seem to have this problem.

Here is a crash report bp-34efcf07-dca5-11dc-86e0-001a4bd43ed6

Danielle, could this be an issue of the latest Java version?

I am not able to reproduce the crash when running the 1.4 demo applets in the URL provided (http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/index.html).
I tried 6u4 b12 and 6u10 b12 on both Solaris and Linux.

Could you please indicate which applet from that URL that causes the crash? Thanks.

I can't replicate that crash now.  I have tried with both the 2008021604 build and the latest build, and can't replicate the crash now... 

Not sure what to make of it.  I remember it crashing with the fractal and the jumping box applets.

As I've seen today under OS X while trying to reproduce another crash it's sometimes bad to restart the pc. :/ I think you did that within the last days. Try to remember the open tabs, click through all visited pages that day... perhaps you can find a way to get it reproduced.

[danielle.pham]

OS X is currently not under Sun Java supported configuration.
With Linux and Solaris, no crash is reproducible with the 1.4 demo applets, including Fractal and Jumping box. 
Tried opened multiple tabs, back-forth repeatedly to reload multiple applets, restart browser with previous loaded tabs, etc, still no crash.

Please let know if you find more definite way to reproduce problem.
Otherwise, I guess this bug can be closed?

[timeless]

is this bug 419818?

Comment 8

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Don't think so as this bug here already occurred with the "old" Java plugin 1.6.0_04, Bug 419818 only happens with the new u10 plugin.

OJI has been discontinued and Java now runs out-of-process, so this stuff has probably changed a lot. This bug has no info about current software versions, please file a new bug for new issues or reopen this one with current info, including a crash signature if it still happens and move it to a component outside of graveyard.
