Description
Under JDK 1.3 beta, when loading bean into ActiveX containe causes memory error, and kill theActiveX container.

You can reproduct the error by using ActiveX Control Test Container that bundled with VC6.0. Use any BDK beans such as Juggler Bean. Try to load the bean into Test container will produce memory error and kill the test container

This problem also happen on JDK1.2.2. But work fine on JDK1.2.0 and JDK1.2.1.

Environment
OS is Window NT 4.0 SP4
HW Compaq PII.
Compiler is VC 6.0

Comments
EVALUATION The Active-X Bridge was removed in Java 1.4.0 based on a Java Steering Committee decision nearly 2 years ago. The decision was based on 2 things. Customer interest was marginal at best and Java Plug-in was no longer dependent on the bridge technology to operate. It was necessary to remove it to allow for code refactoring and reworking in 1.4.0. Since removing the bridge, many customers have expressed interest in it. We have filed an RFE (4616580) for this support in a future release. We are currently evaluating whether we have a significant business case to justify the 1-3 man-month engineering effort (more for supporting teams) in the Mantis/Tiger timeframe. NOTE: Mantis = Java 1.4.2 FCS Q2, 2003 Tiger = Java 1.5 FCS Q4, 2003 Support for the bridge in existing 1.3.x releases is limited to escalations and can be persued with our CTE team. This bug will be closed as a duplicate of 4616580. ###@###.### 2002-04-29
