Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for clarification of your situation with JVM crash. I am very
glad to know that it was not caused by the fix and that you managed to
evaluate it. I tried to test the fix with the printer driver "Brother
MFC-J6710DW", which you specified in your previous e-mail. I also was
able to reproduce the situation with absence of the media size "Ledger
(Short Grain)(11 x 17 in)" in Java Page Setup dialog, but debugging
showed that this media size was displayed as "Ledger" and "Ledger (11 x
17 in)" was considered as "Tabloid", because its paper ID equaled "3",
which is really "Tabloid". So, probably, other native applications,
whose page setup dialogs show "Ledger (11 x 17 in)" instead of
"Tabloid", simply print out media size names returned by the driver,
therefore I suppose that exactly this media size is problematic because
of the driver, which supplies either the wrong paper ID or the wrong
paper name. I created an improved second version of the fix. Could you
please review it.

Differences between this fix and its previous version are the following:
1. Static initialization block of Win32PrintService class was removed,
because its internal call
86 Class c = Win32MediaSize.class;
did not lead to initialization of the static variable "predefMedia" from
a static initialization block of Win32MediaSize class. Such situation is
the reason of constant returning of null values from
623 msn = findMatchingMediaSizeNameMM(wid, ht);
for each first iteration of the for loop in
"Win32PrintService.getMediaSizes" method. As a solution for this problem
"predefMedia" started being initialized by a direct call to the new
"Win32MediaSize.getPredefMedia" method, which guarantees that before its
execution the static initialization block of Win32MediaSize class is
already executed.
2. Additional changes in the method "Win32PrintService.initMedia"
guarantee that a media size name provided by the printer's driver is
always added to "msnList" local variable, if a paper ID does not match
with any paper ID predefined in JDK (the call
"findWin32Media(((Integer)idList.get(i)).intValue());"). This change
makes it possible to display "Ledger (Short Grain)(11 x 17 in)" media
size with the driver "Brother MFC-J6710DW". So in certain cases this fix
leads to displaying of 2 media size names for one media size: 1 media
size name registered in JDK, whose media size matches with this media
size, 1 new media size name constructed from a string returned by the
driver. Testing in my local environment with all earlier mentioned
printers showed that cases of presence of such pairs of media size names
are very rare, while they help users to find the required media sizes in
Java Page Setup Dialog.
Thank you,
Anton

Hi Anton,
I apologize that the cause of the crash is specific to my system. I
re-cloned a fresh copy and did not see the crash anymore. The fix
works but I have concern that mixing media size names with JDK
predefined names with printer driver is still confusing for the user.
For one, I was able to find a driver, Brother MFC-J6710, wherein it
has 4 types of Ledgers (Ledger, Ledger Short Grain, Ledger Borderless,
and Ledger Borderless/ShortGrain) . In JDK, it is showing, Ledger,
Tabloid, Ledger Borderless, and Ledger Borderless/ShortGrain. I think
our use of Tabloid is still not right. I'm leaning towards either
changing all the names but this is up for discussion.

Hello Jennifer,
I am sorry, but I cannot confirm existence of such a crash, because
in my local environment I do not experience any unchecked Java
exceptions and JVM crashes. Today I have made a fresh clone of all
workspaces from the repository
(http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8), have applied this fix and
have compiled the JDK 8. Also, to be on the safe side, PrimoPDF
printer has been reinstalled with the latest version available for
downloading from the web site mentioned in my previous e-mail. And I
was not able to reproduce your crash neither by scrolling the Media
Sizes in Page Setup Dialog, nor by moving in that list using the
keyboard.
Did you get this crash with the latest source code of the whole JDK 8
patched with the fix? Do you use the test application provided on the
bug's record page? Perhaps, you are using a "fastdebug" build of JDK
8, if it is so, then can this kind of build be considered as a
reliable for verification of fixes?
Thank you,
Anton

Hello Jennifer,
Thank you very much for the review of this fix. For reproduction
of this bug and testing of the fix the printer "PrimoPDF" with its
driver "PrimoPDF" was used. This printer is a virtual printer
which generates PDF files as a result of printing jobs and which
can be downloaded at the URL (http://www.primopdf.com). Such a
printer was selected for testing, because it supports the paper
size "11 x 17" in inches, with which the bug was experienced by a
user according to the bug report.
Also I was able to observe a similar situation with the printers:
"Microsoft XPS Document Writer", "Xerox WorkCentre 4250 GPD PS"
but on paper sizes different from "11 x 17". For example, if the
printer "Xerox WorkCentre 4250 GPD PS" is used, JDK interprets the
paper size "Postcard (100 x 148 mm)" as "Postcard (JIS)" and, when
algorithm of the method
"sun.print.Win32PrintService.getMediaSizes" encounters the paper
size "Japanese Postcard", it interprets it as "Postcard (JIS)"
again, which leaves just one media size "Postcard (JIS)" from 2 in
Java cross-platform Page Setup and Print dialogs. I think that
this situation is similar to the case with "11 x 17" paper size,
because some user can also be willing to see exactly "Postcard
(100 x 148 mm)" media size in the mentioned Java dialogs, where it
will be absent, whoever this fix still will not allow "Postcard
(100 x 148 mm)" to be displayed.
Thank you,
Anton

Hi Anton,
What printer and printer driver version did you use to test your

Hello,
Please review the following fix for a bug.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alitvinov/8007642/webrev.00
The bug consists in the fact that Java cross-platform Page
Setup and Print dialogs do not always list all media sizes
supported by a printer. The fix is based on addition of
dynamic creation of new media names of the type
"sun.print.Win32MediaSize" based on paper names received from
Windows API function with corresponding media sizes of the
type "javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSize" for the case,
when the printer's media size name, which is being analyzed in
"sun.print.Win32PrintService.initMedia" method, is not added
to the final list of media sizes supported by the printer
because of an already existing duplicate in that list. In such
a case the printer's paper size matches with one of the media
sizes registered in JDK, while the paper size ID does not
match with any ID known to JDK.
Also the code in "Win32PrintService.findWin32Media" method was
altered to allow three cases from "switch" block to work as
expected, because currently they never match with "dmIndex"
value, since it is always less then
"dmPaperToPrintService.length" under "if" statement.
Thank you,
Anton
