This is a registered bug (Bug ID: 6515708) but does anyone have a workaround for it?

Scenario

  • javascript calls OpenDialog() method in applet
  • applet starts new thread which opens the AWT FileDialog
  • on completion, the file name is read and the javascript method OnDialogComplete is called
  • At this point the dialog is disposed and (on some browsers only) the browser hangs.

We have a mixture of XP with IE6/7 and Vista with IE7 but unfortunately the bug appears randomly on any of them.

Ideas anyone?

  1. The bug report suggests it only happens when two FileDialogs are open at once. Perhaps you could detect when the Java implementation is affected (pre-1.6.2), and in that case use an inter-applet-communication method such as a static variable on a class, to implement a mutex preventing OpenDialog() from working when there is already a FileDialog in progress?
