Clarification needed regarding JVM crash - reg.

Hi Friends,

I am one among those people who believe very strongly that Java is the most artistic, reliable programming language. But I am not able to defend in a debate about JVM getting crashed.

Please have a look at the following message.

An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x100a4937, pid=2792, tid=2944

Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_12-b04 mixed mode, sharing)
Problematic frame:
C [CSPJNIWrappers.dll+0xa4937]

An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid2792.log

If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

What is the reason for this? Can anybody help me to know the reason.

thanks and regards,

It's a bug in the JVM or (just as likely) in part of the OS used by the JVM. A JVM is just a piece of software, like any other; they have bugs. And of course, Windows has bugs, too.

Thanks Ernest!!
But I wonder why Sun is not putting much effort to have a work around for these kind of bugs.

Is "CSPJNIWrappers.dll" actually part of the JVM, or is it some native code that you have added? What's "CSP"? I do not have the exact same version of JVM as you do, but none of my installations of Java on Windows have a file of that name.

If it's not part of the JVM (and I think it's not), then your crash is nothing to do with Java - it's your bad native code.

this one is bound for the intermediate forum...
