When an applet called back from Java to JS through netscape.javascript.JSObject, nsILiveConnect will be used. However, when passing any security principals (nsIPrincipal) interface into nsILiveConnect to make any call, it will cause the viewer.exe to crash immediately. This makes even to support the minimial codebase principal impossible.

Can you give me a URL? Also, do I need to get a more recent build than that found in the latest installer from you (Stanley) in order to repro this?

Reassigning all OJI bugs to george.drapeau@eng.sun.com

adding norris to the cc list. this looks like a bug that might need to be move a out a milestone or two. is the problem/fix understood yet?

Yes, Chris, I agree: I am moving this to the M10 milestone as a start. Ed Burns (edburns@acm.org) is getting up to speed on OJI for Win32 to try and understand this problem; when he gets ready, I'll probably re-assign the bug to him.

moving to m11. we are trying wrap up the m10 list. is a fix for this close?

I haven't worked with OJI either; I probably broke the connection with some of my recent changes. I removed a ton of old code that used to connect from caps to Mozilla classic and was dead. I haven't begun to worry about Java yet. Perhaps we should meet to begin understanding what we need to do here.

Can someone please code review this patch? Ed

m12. ed, who might a be a good reviewer? maybe beard or warren?

I just reviewed it. The change looks good to me. R = marklin

Fix checked in. I claim this bug is fixed.
