Java 1.4.1/1.4.2 problems

[Cliff McKeithan]

Anytime I attempt to run a Java program that uses the AWT, it immediately fails with a subscript out of range (-1) exception. The problem only exists using 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 - if I run the exact same program with 1.3 or earlier, it runs just fine.

I am using OpenVMS 7.3-1, with all the required patches per the installation instructions for 1.4.1 and 1.4.2.

Thanks for the help!

Hello Cliff,

just installed 1.4.2-1 on my 7.3-2 system. Fired up a Java program with graphics (see
http://zinser.no-ip.info/vms/sw/logo.htmlx), works without any problem. Might be a problem with your application. Does the same happen with a "Hello World" type of AWT program?

Greetings, Martin

Martin,
The problem is there for even the smallest HelloWorld app. I can't even run any of the example AWT programs fielded with Java.

Hello Cliff,

in that case it looks like your Java installation is broken. Two possibilities: The actual on-disk installation is broken (pcsi remove followed by a pcsi install should take care of this), or your setup somehow got messed. Check the output of sh log *java* and sh sym j* for any occurances of Java components not pointing to the 141 or 142 installation directories.

Hello Cliff,

have a close look on your process parameter (UAF settings). I've had also problems which al releid on those settings. (I don't know exactly anymore but there must be a statement in the release notes about this...)

Kind regards, Luitzen

Cliff,
It may not cause your porblem but just in case: are you sure _all_ files in the JAVA 1.4.x environment are STREAM_LF?
