32-bit Java Accessibility on a 64-bit machine

Question

I have a 32-bit app that makes use of Java Accessibility (WindowsAccessBridge-32.dll, via the Java Access Bridge), and works perfectly on a 32-bit machine, but fails on an x64 m

Answer 1

If your using a 64 bit JVM with a 32 bit version of the Java Access bridge it won't work correctly. You need a 64 bit version of the access bridge which has recently been released. see http://blogs.oracle.com/korn/entry/java_access_bridge_v2_0 For instructions on installing a 32 bit copy of the access bridge for use with 32 bit JRE's under 64 bit windows see http://www.travisroth.com/2009/07/03/java-access-bridge-and-64-bit-windows/
