> LocaleElementsResourceLoader init dependency on request path
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TRINIDAD-2340
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-2340
> Project: MyFaces Trinidad
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1-core
> Reporter: Andy Schwartz
> Assignee: Andy Schwartz
> Fix For: 2.0.2-core

> Attachments: trinidad-2340.patch

> The LocaleElementsResourceLoader static initializer attempts to derive a
> locale elements library uri:
> static private final ResourceLoader[] _ResourceLoaders =
> {
> new ClassLoaderResourceLoader(),
> new
> TrTranslationsResourceLoader(CoreRenderKitResourceLoader.getLocaleElementsURI("Translations",
> false))
> };
>
> The call to getLocaleElementsURI() ends up calling
> CoreRenderKitResourceLoader.getLocale(), which in turn does the following:
> static public String getLocale()
> {
> String path = ((HttpServletRequest)
> FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest()).getPathInfo();
> String locStr = "";
> int locIndex = path.indexOf("LocaleElements")+ "LocaleElements_".length();
> int index = path.indexOf(_VERSION);
> if (index < 0)
> index = path.indexOf(".js");
> if(index >= 0)
> locStr = path.substring(locIndex, index);
> return locStr;
> }
> Note that this code assumes that the request path returned from getPathInfo()
> corresponds to a LocaleElements library request. While this true during
> normal resource request processing (ie. when ResourceLoader.getResource() is
> called), this is not necessarily true when called from the
> LocaleElementsResourceLoader static initializer.
> Depending on when the LocaleElementsResourceLoader is initialized, a call to
> getLocale() can result in:
> 1. A NullPointerException, if the FacesContext is not available, or if
> getRequest() happens to return null.
> 2. A StringIndexOutOfBoundsException from the substring() call, if the
> request path happens to be short.
> 3. A garbage return value, if one of the above two exceptions are not thrown.
> As such, it is not safe for LocaleElementsResourceLoader to call into
> getLocaleElementsURI() from its static initializer.
> Although this seems like a trivial issue, I specified the priority as "major"
> as we are seeing #2 in production environments.
