Java7 javaFileListFlavor Drag n' Drop Crashing PowerPoint

955993Aug 15 2012 — edited Oct 28 2013
I submitted a bug report about this, but wanted to get some more feedback just in case there was something small I was missing or a possible workaround. We have an Applet that allows people to drag a list of images into PowerPoint. The feature uses the javaFileListFlavor to pass a list of UNC paths to get them to load. Anyone that has upgraded to Java 7 will have their PowerPoint lock up and crash when using this feature. However, Java 6 still works. While testing it, I tried stripping it down to just using AWT DND libraries with the exact same result. I was wondering if this is truly a JRE bug that I will have to wait for Oracle to fix or if anyone had some more insight or workaround in mind to try. In the bug report, I have a stand alone version written that demonstrates the problem.

The loading type on a table can insert/update/merge/delete - it's up to you what you do, what happens in a load is dependent on the loading type and the data (if there is no new data, then no new rows will be added). The dimension operator has loading behavior consistent with type 1,2,3 SCDs - in the end it boils down to insert/update/merge also.

Cheers
