SWT, Linux 6.3, and xulrunner 10 [message #1008030]

Hello,

I have a SWT application that uses the browser widget to render some web pages. The version of SWT that I am running is from the 3.8.1 version of Eclipse. I bundle a version of xulrunner with my app that is xulrunner 10.0.4esr and specify the xulrunner path to specifically use that one. On Windows system this always works. However, on 64 bit RedHat, linux systems, I get varying degrees of success. It seems to work fine if the xulrunner that is already installed on that box is older than 10.0.4 but if it is newer, my swt application cores when I try to start up the Browser widget. Based on the dump, the error seems to be some how related to libmozsqlite3.so. At least that is always what is being referenced in the "register to memory mapping" area of the dump. I tried specifically using the xulrunner that was installed on the box, 10.0.5, as well to see if that worked but I got the same error.

Has anyone else run into similar problems and, if so, can you suggest a work around?

Thanks.

ooops...one other data point. I am explicitly setting the browser type to SWT.MOZILLA.

Hi, sorry for the late reply,

This is probably a case of libmozsqlite3.so being loaded by a
WebKit-based browser in your app (a Browser created with style
SWT.NONE), which is conflicting with the libmozsqlite3.so that is
shipped with your XULRunner. If so, you should be able to get this
working by setting the org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType java property
before the first Browser instance is created, as described in
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserspecifydefault .

HTH,
Grant

Hi Grant,

Thanks for the suggestion but no dice. A user that I have who was having this problem added the flag and it seemed to work but then when he ran the client the next day it crashed again in the same place. Always in a sqlite3_randomness call in libmozsqlite3.so.

I still can not reproduce this crash in my test environment, which is what makes it hard to debug, but I have not given up on my theory that maybe it is a shared library conflict or something. All of the people that have this problem use firefox, but a different version then the xulrunner that I am using, and tend to have it up at the same time as my SWT client.

As a thought, do you happen to know if there is any way to send the -no-remote flag to the embedded xulrunner? I was hoping maybe that would help.

Do you have any other thoughts that I could try?

Thanks again for the suggestion.
