the constructors in FileInputstream don't throw a FileNotFoundException when the File to open as an InputStream is actually a directory, as they should do. I've attached a test case that demonstrates the bug.
While there is a patch in kaffe for this bug, it existed in a previous form in the old version of FileInputStream.java before it was replaced by GNU Classpath's version[1], so I'd prefer to see a patch that can not be seen as derived from GPL'd code.
I've attached a simple test case.
cheers, dalibor topic
[1] Guilhem imported the file from Classpath, and fixed the bug. The code is similar (there are not that many ways to check if a file is a directory and throw an exception based on that) to the code from the earlier, GPLd version, checked in by Jim Pick and written by Patrick Tullman.
import java.io.*;
public class fistest {
private static void construct(String name) {
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(name);
System.out.println(fis);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String [] args) {
String [] test = { "/tmp" };
for (int i = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
construct(test[i]);
}
}
}
