Applet + JNI = Big Problem ?

[Marco Tulio Borges]

Hi, there!

I have a web application that has an applet to capture fingerprints. Here is my system configuration:

- j2sdk1.4.2_07
- Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O Tools 1.0_01
- Fingerprint reader and its Gold SDK from Digital Persona (worst documentation ever)

The thing is: this Gold SDK uses JNI to comunicate with the fingerprint reader. When I create the applet jar from Eclipse and sign it manually, it works fine. When I use Ant (1.6.3) to compile and sign the applet, it hangs the browser while reading the fingerprint (any browser). No error messages, no screamings, nothing! It just hangs. And then, a file appears in my desktop. Here it is:


Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x8074792
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=C:\ARQUIV~1\Java\J2RE14~1.2_0\bin\client\jvm.dll

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.

Any ideas?

You may have better luck contacting your vendor for support.

[Marco Tulio Borges]

Well... I tryed to contact them. They seem to have no clue.

This problem is fairly unusual. For all practical purposes, Ant is going to do the same thing that you do manually. Have you tried comparing the JAR's that you and Ant produce? Tried the JAR on different computers? Different VM's?

They look like they are equal. But I don't know about the .class internally.

Yes.

No.

One key difference is:
Eclipse usually uses its own Java compiler (from IBM/Eclipse) while
your Ant tool for compiling tool is usually configured to use the JDK's compiler.

It's quite possible, even very likely, that the class bytecode for both versions is slightly different. This may contribute to slightly different runtime characteristics or performance, even exposing different bugs, such as race conditions.
