I have an ATL C++ component in large COM application that attempts to create the JVM.
The facts:
1. It can always create the jdk1.3.1_02 classic version. (C:jdk1.3.1_02jre inclassicjvm.dll)
2. It cannot create the jdk1.3.1_02 hotspot or server versions. I get a fatal exception in the application or wind up in a catch block.In a prior build version we had no problems creating the JVM. We have added allot of functionality since then.
3. When I create my component from a small C++ test driver I have no problem creating any of the jvms in 1.3.1_02.
4. The ATL component has not changed in over a year.
5. The installation is correct. I have used Sun’s JDK and also the DI_COE JAVA2 segments to locate the jvms.

Is there some tuning of the VM options that can fix this problem?

Here is the way I load the jvm.


void * CJMPSJavaVM::FindCreateJavaVM(TCHAR * vmPath)

{

hinstJVMLib = LoadLibrary(vmPath);

if (NULL == hinstJVMLib)

{

return NULL;

}


return GetProcAddress(hinstJVMLib, "JNI_CreateJavaVM");

}

Here is how I use the ProcAddress returned above to create the jvm.
HRESULT CJMPSJavaVM::FinalConstruct()

{

try

{

JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;

JavaVMOption options[1];


//Dynamically build the class path from jmps registry and jar files

_bstr_t btClassPath;

BuildClassPath(btClassPath);


options[0].optionString = btClassPath;


memset(&vm_args, 0, sizeof(vm_args));

vm_args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_2;

vm_args.nOptions = 1;

vm_args.options = options;

vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_TRUE;


CREATE_JVM_FUNC CreateJVM_ProcAdd;


//Use the registry to find the VM

GetRegistryPath(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
KEY_JVM_LOCATION,
KEY_JVM_DIR,
m_jvmPath);

CreateJVM_ProcAdd = (CREATE_JVM_FUNC) FindCreateJavaVM(m_jvmPath);


if ( CreateJVM_ProcAdd == NULL )

{

ATLTRACE(L"Failed to load the jvm.dll library!
");

return Error(L"Failed to load the jvm.dll library", GUID_NULL, E_FAIL);

}


GET_CREATED_JVM_FUNC GetCreatedJVM_ProcAdd;

GetCreatedJVM_ProcAdd = (GET_CREATED_JVM_FUNC) FindGetCreatedJavaVMs(m_jvmPath);

jsize bufLen = 1;

jsize nVMs = 0;

jint result = GetCreatedJVM_ProcAdd(&m_jvm, bufLen, &nVMs);

if (result!=0 || !m_jvm)

{

m_status = CreateJVM_ProcAdd (&m_jvm, (void **) &m_env, &vm_args);


if ( m_status != JNI_OK )

{

ATLTRACE(L"Failed to create the Java VM!
");

JavaErrorTrace(m_status);

return Error(L"Failed to create the Java VM", GUID_NULL, E_FAIL);

}

}


m_ThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId();



return S_OK;

}
