JNI - How to use the error reporting mechanism?

I've developed a C++ DLL which is loaded from a commercial Win32 application (not written by me) as a plug-in for external calculations. On its initialization the C++ DLL launches the Java VM via the JNI invocation interface. When the DLL functions are called by the application, they forward the calls to Java objects inside the Java VM, again via JNI invocation interface.
This works well, but I have encountered a weird error.
From Java I open a JFrame containing a JTextArea as small console for debug output messages. If I turn output to this debug console off (my printToConsole routine checks whether a boolean flag is set), the string concatenation operator may lead to a crash of the Java VM.
For example, if in one of the Java functions called from the
DLL via JNI invocation interface the following is the first statement,
it leads to a crash of the Java VM and the application that loaded the C++ proxy DLL.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Interestingly, if I comment this statement out, the Java code works fine WITHOUT any crash. I've already thought about potential races and synchronization issues in my code, but I don't see where this is the case. And the string concatenation error fails as well, if I insert sleep() statements in front of it and at other places in the code. However, if I turn on log messages printed to my JFrame debug console (containing a JTextArea), the String concatenation works without problems.
So maybe the JNI interface has a bug and affects the Java VM; I don't see where my JNI code is wrong.
One problem is that I do not get any stdout output, as the C++ proxy DLL is loaded by the Windows application, even if I start the Windows application from the DOS command line (under Windows).
Does anyone know how to use the error reporting mechanism?
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/vm/error-handling.html
Is it possible that the JVM, when it crashes, writes debug information about the crash into a file instead of stdout/stderr?
My C++ proxy DLL was compiled in debug mode, but the commercial application (which loaded the DLL) is very likely not.
I do not know hot to find the reason why the String concatenation fails inside the Java function called from the C++ DLL via JNI.

Yes, I've initially thought about errors in the C++ code too. But the C++ code is actually very simple and short. It doesn't allocate anything on the C++ side. It allocates a couple of ByteBuffers inside the Java VM however via JNI invocation interface calls of env->NewDirectByteBuffer(). The native memory regions accessed via the ByteBuffers are allocated not by my own C++ code, but by the program that calls my DLL (the program is Metastock).
The interesting thing is that everything works fine if output to my debug console is enabled, which means that in the Java print routine getConsoleLoggingState() returns true and text is appended to the jTextArea.
static synchronized void print(String str)
{ MetaStockMonitor mMon=getInstance();
if ( mMon.getFileLoggingState() && mMon.logFileWriter!=null) {
mMon.logFileWriter.print(str);
mMon.logFileWriter.flush();
if ( mMon.getConsoleLoggingState() ) {
mMon.jTextArea1.append(str);
Only if output to the JTextArea is turned off (ie. getConsoleLoggingState()==false), the crash happens when the FIRST statement in the Java routine called via JNI invocation interface is a (useless) String concatenation operation, as described above.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Moreover, the crash happens BEFORE the allocated ByteBuffer objects are accessed in the Java code. But again, if console output is turned on, it works stable. If console output is turned off, it works when the (useless) String concatenation operation is removed in the Java routine called from C++.
I've already thought about potential races (regarding multiple threads), but this can be ruled out in my case. It almost appears as if the JVM can have problems when called by the invocation interface (I tested it with Java 1.4.2 b28).
All the calls between C++ and Java go ALWAYS in the direction from C++ code to Java. Unfortunately, there is no special JRE version with extensive logging capabilities to facilitate debugging. And the problem is not easily reproducible either.

What is the significance of report writer and report painter

hi all,
can anyone throw light on report write and report painter, when and why it used with examples.
thanxs in advance
regds
hari

Dear Hari,
http://www.virtuosollc.com/PDF/Get_Reporter.pdf
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/66/bc7d2543c211d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.

... another question would be why not upgrade those old Forms & Reports to the newest release 10.1.2.0.2 and use the latest Application Server to run them with?
Release 6i and 1.0.2.2 is as you know desupported.

How to use an object's paint method

I have created a class imagePanel which extends a jPanel to display an image. When I create a new imagePanel object I pass it an image argument which is used to paint my image on the jPanel, so far so good. I don't wish to have to continuously create new ImamePanels to display new images so I thought I could make a set_Image method that would set a new image in an exising imagePanel object. This is where I run into problems how to use the existing object paint method to replace the image. I tried this without success:
public Image setMyImage (Image myImage)
imageX = myImage; // imageX is the image that is painted by the imagePanel object's paint method
paint(g);
Something must be wrong on how I access the paint method. Thanks for any help.

Yahoooo, got it. This was the code I needed and thanks for your help:
public void setImage (Image myImage)
imageX = myImage;
repaint(300);
}

System setup/installation to use Forms and Reports 11g

We are a high education organization. We recently get a request from faculty to create an Oracle environment for academic purpose. We have Oracle database 11g installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server. Faculty require to use Froms and Reports 11g. My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen? Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on, then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations? Can somebody provide any documentation that can help on this issue? Thanks.

Michael Ferrante's post in this thread has a list of useful documents
How to run Oracle Forms app on local PC?
For your server configuration you should be looking for the Windows 64 bit version of Weblogic Server and Forms.
> My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen?
The system requirement guide in the link above will have all the information you need
> Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on
Yes, assuming your server meets the combined requirements for both products, although I prefer to keep them separated for ease of administration.
> ..then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations?
For Forms 11g there is no installation required on the client to run forms applications (other than JRE). However if the user workstations will be used to run the forms builder and reports builder used to create the forms and reports modules, you will need to install Weblogic and Forms (Developer install type) on each workstation.
One note of caution: Forms 11g is extremely sensitive to the versions of the components - Weblogic Server, Forms, Java, Internet Explorer, etc. I would use only the versions certified in the certification matrix in the link above.

How to use protect and endprotect in smart form

hi to all experts,
im still begineer in smart form , i have two headings like
company_code: purchase doc no:
after this i have a table to be displayed with four columns
what i want is the whole data should not be split by a page break
i know this can be achieved by using protect and end protect in sap scripts how to implement in smart form

probably u have the table inside a loop or a folder or something....
see this
Page protection attribute
Switch for page protection.
Use
Page protection switch.
In some cases you may want to avoid that text is divided by a page break. Therefore, you can protect text sections with a page protection.
Page protection can extend to
a paragraph
a text node
all output within a folder, for example, several text nodes combined in this folder.
a line type (table node)
If on the current page there is not enough space left for the protected text, it is displayed entirely on the next page.
So u can page protect a line in table...
in the table node..goto tables tab and click the details tab-->select the line type and check the 'no page break'
check box
