QuickTime for Java: Applet crashes JVM and browsers on Windows

[Mike]

I've written an applet that uses QuickTime for Java to display some
video. I can run the applet in the appletviewer (with a sufficiently
lax security policy), but if I try to run it in a Web browser, the JVM
and browser crash. Both IE6 and Firefox are affected. I'm using the
Java plugin 1.5.0_02, and Windows XP.

The HotSpot error log (here hs_err_pid3044.log) starts out with the
following lines:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d6c9ab4, pid=3044,
tid=3140
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_02-b09 mixed mode,
sharing)
# Problematic frame:
# V [jvm.dll+0x89ab4]
#

and here's the top of the call stack:

Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code)
j quicktime.WinNativeHelper.getDrawingSurface(Ljava/awt/ComponentI+0
j quicktime.WinJNIDrawingSurface.<init>(Ljava/awt/ComponentV+16
j quicktime.QTSession$QTFrame.addNotify()V+24
j java.awt.Window.pack()V+28
j quicktime.QTSession.initialize(ILjava/lang/ClassV+101
j quicktime.QTSession.initialize(I)V+2
j quicktime.QTSession.open(III)V+1
j quicktime.QTSession.open()V+3
....

At least the error was unexpected. Has anyone encountered this
problem, and is there a way to fix it?

The class names in the stack trace suggest JNI is being used.

Is that going to work in a web browser?

 

[Mike]

Indeed, QTJ does require JNI. But my system properties and java.policy
are set up as follows:

java.ext.dirs = C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JRE15~1.0_0\lib\ext
java.home = C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JRE15~1.0_0

grant codeBase "file:${{java.ext.dirs}}/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
// copied from 1.4:
grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/ext/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

and QTJava.zip is in the directory C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_02\lib\ext like it should be.

The directory names don't seem to match, but they do refer to the same
place:

03/28/2005 12:32 PM <DIR> JRE15~1.0_0 jre1.5.0_02

Any ideas?
