Problem Description:

 For interaction with native browser windows/dialogs SQE uses NWQE (native windowing query extension).
 Using NWQE Java API's we can pass a particular window title to NWQE and
 can retrieve the window object (along with its sub-components).
 Once in focus, using Robot we can send in Tab key event or mouse click to
 buttons or type in TextField.
 
 The test http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/pluginhtml-default/test1Frame.html
 invokes an applet from an Authenticated Web-Server.
 On invokation, browser displays the authenticated popup.
 The Driver class displayed on the left frame on the HTML page, invokes
NWQE api's, waits for the popup to be displayed and once displayed, it will send in robot key event to enter username and password.

 This interaction works fine with 1.4.1 but with 1.4.2 browser crashes.
 The crash is in the native call, when trying to retrieve the NativeComponentTree.
 To be specific it fails when NWQE tries to use
   GetDrawingSurface call.


This is a stopper bug as many of our automation suites which depend on NWQE
will crash or fail.


 NWQE master workspace: /net/sqesvr.sfbay/export/jfc/dherron/nwqe
 My child workspace: /net/sqesvr.sfbay/deployment2/rpallath/nwqe
 Related Files: wintree.c

Steps to Reproduce :
--------------------
 1) Install JRE
 2) Copy /net/sqesvr.sfbay/deployment2/rpallath/nwqe/myproject/tree.dll to
    <jre>/bin dir.
 3) Copy http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/lib/authenticate_nativedialog.txt
    to <jre>/lib/ext dir.
 4) Set .java.policy in your home dir.
     grant {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
     };

    Or you could also copy fine grained poilicy from
     http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/lib/java.policy
   to your home dir
    <home>/.java.policy

 5) Invoke Internet explorer
 6) Load URL http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/pluginhtml-default/test1Frame.html
  Leave your mouse.
 
 It will invoke an HTML page with 2 frames.
 Left frame has the driver program (a Java applet) which reads the .txt file from <lib>/ext and send in key events for
 username: authtester
 password: authtester

and also will click on "Ok" button.

Source: http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/src/AuthenticateDriver.java
 
But browser crashes way before while trying to retrieve the native
windw objects.
It crashes in method getWindow()
NativeComponentData[] nobjects = nt.getNativeComponentTree(this, windowTitle);

The above method calls into tree.dll.
If you look at win32tree.c, it fails at function
JNICALL Java_NativeTree_getNativeComponentTree()

and at call
  ds = awt.GetDrawingSurface(env, canvas);

The canvas being passed is actually the applet reference.


The same test works fine with 1.4.1
It is a regression.

I was baffled at why I could not reproduce it with the build when working with developer.
I then spend some time trying out all the combination, and I finally got it
to crash.
The culprit .java.policy file.

With 1.4.2
If I execute with policy set to
grant {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
everything works fine.

However as soon as I set it to
grant {
  permission java.awt.AWTPermission "createRobot";
  permission java.awt.AWTPermission "replaceKeyboardFocusManager";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "modifyThread";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${java.home}${/}-", "read,write,execute,del
ete";
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "modifyThreadGroup";
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.tree";
};

I start seeing the crash.
When trying with the developer, I was always using AllPermission and hence we never saw the crash.


With 1.4.1 however, both the policy works.


I have made a copy of the whole dir at
/net/sqesvr.sfbay/deployment2/rpallath/crasher


NOTE: If using XP machine, then instead of step (3) do the following
 3) Copy http://gladius.sfbay/tests/crasher/lib/authenticate_nativedialog_xp.txt
    to <jre>/lib/ext/authenticate_nativedialog.txt.
