My reading of the documentation interface is the same as yours, so your
results look like a jvm bug. You may want to add some other simple
strings and maybe
other locales to see if a specific locale is broken or not.
I hacked my own test to try to mimic the example code in the
documentation as much as possible and then tried a few variants. It
looks like a problem with the locale/test case you picked on sun jvms.
I tried the program on the ibm15 jvm and got the expected results. My
guess is that your eclipse environment is somehow picking up the ibm jvm?
Here is my test program:
import java.text.Collator;
import java.text.RuleBasedCollator;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.CollationElementIterator;
public class xxx
{
public static void tryIt1()
throws Exception
{
String testString = "This is a test";
RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator =
(RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance();
CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator =
ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
int primaryOrder =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.next());
int primaryOrder2 =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.previous());
System.out.println(
"next = " + primaryOrder + " \nprevious = " + primaryOrder2);
}
public static void tryIt2()
throws Exception
{
String testString = "\uFA2D";
RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator =
(RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance();
CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator =
ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
int primaryOrder =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.next());
int primaryOrder2 =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.previous());
System.out.println(
"next = " + primaryOrder + " \nprevious = " + primaryOrder2);
}
public static void tryIt3()
throws Exception
{
String testString = "\uFA2D";
RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator =
(RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance(new Locale("no","NO"));
CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator =
ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
int primaryOrder =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.next());
int primaryOrder2 =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(
collationElementIterator.previous());
System.out.println(
"next = " + primaryOrder + " \nprevious = " + primaryOrder2);
}
public static void tryIt4()
throws Exception
{
String testString = "\uFA2D";
RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator =
(RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance(new Locale("no","NO"));
CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator =
ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
int next_order = collationElementIterator.next();
int previous_order = collationElementIterator.previous();
System.out.println(
"next = " + next_order + " \nprevious = " + previous_order);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
tryIt1();
tryIt2();
tryIt3();
tryIt4();
}
}

Hi,
I have a very simple program(included at the bottom of the mail) which
uses the CollationElementIterator to do some very basic next/previous
method calls through the iterator. When I run the program, it is not
behaving as per the JDBC API documentation at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/CollationElementIterator.html#next()
The JDBC API for next and previous very specifically say that "call
next() and then call previous(), or call previous() and then call
next()), you'll get back the same element twice." But when I execute the
following program with Sun's jdk 1.5 on command line, I get following output
next is 2147418112
previous is -97714176
I had expected the output to be
next is 2147418112
previous is 2147418112
Am I doing something wrong here or not interpreting the documentation
correctly? Any help will be greatly appreciated. As a side note, when I
run the same program through the Eclipse debugger, I get the expected
behavior which is that next and previous both return the same value.
thanks,
Mamta
