Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JDK 9, JDK 8, JDK 7u4, any later release of JDK 7
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
MS Windows 7 OS
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Given a class with an inner class that implements interface. For example: java.util.Vector.elements() returns an inner class implementation of Enumeration. When JavaScript call is made to invoke a method that does not exist in Java class, but the same method exists in the inner class, then all subsequent JavaScript calls to the inner class method will result in the JavaScript exception "TypeError: <JAVA_METHOD_NAME> is not a function".
Note: this bug does not exist in Mozilla based browsers and only occurs in IE with JRE 7u4+. It has been tested on IE 8 & 10 in both 32 & 64 bit mode.
Two applets are required, since subsequent calls to just one applet after exercising the broken execution will result in the exception always being raised. It appears that the browser/applet bridge maintains a separate reflection cache per applet.
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
A call to an Applet is made to create a Vector. On the returned Vector object, hasMoreElements() is called - which doesn't exist, and which is described in the message in the first alert popup. Next, a call is made to create an Enumeration from the contents of a Vector. On the returned Enumeration object, hasMoreElements() is called - which does exist, but the same exception message is reported in the second alert popup.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
This is the bug: hasMoreElements() should be present in the Enumeration object returned.
A call to another Applet is made to create an Enumeration from the contents of a Vector first. On the returned Enumeration object, hasMoreElements() is called, and this time the message in the alert popup is as expected - that hasMoreElements() returned false.
ACTUAL -
"TypeError: <JAVA_METHOD_NAME> is not a function"
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
This suggests a short term work around: Ensure that the existing method on the inner class is invoked first.
