java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(String charsetName) does not throw
IllegalCharsetNameException for spoiled standard sharset name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HARMONY-68
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-68
Project: Harmony
Type: Bug
Components: Classlib
Reporter: Svetlana Samoilenko
According to j2se 1.4.2 specification for Charset.isSupported(String
charsetName) the method must throw IllegalCharsetNameException "if the given
charset name is illegal ".
"Legal charset name must begin with either a letter or a digit.
The test listed below shows that there is no the exception if to insert "-" or
"_" symbols before standard sharset name, for example "-UTF-8" or "_US-ASCII".
Moreover the method returns "true" in this case.
BEA also does not throw the exception but returns "false".
Code to reproduce:
import java.nio.charset.*;
public class test2 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
// string starts neither a letter nor a digit
boolean sup=false;
try{
sup=Charset.isSupported("-UTF-8");
System.out.println("***BAD. should be exception; sup="+sup);
sup=Charset.isSupported("_US-ASCII");
System.out.println("***BAD. should be exception; sup="+sup);
} catch (IllegalCharsetNameException e) {
System.out.println("***OK. Expected IllegalCharsetNameException " +
e);
}
}
}
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build Harmony (check-out on 2006-01-30) j2se subset as described in
README.txt.
2. Compile test2.java using BEA 1.4 javac
> javac -d . test2.java
3. Run java using compatible VM (J9)
> java -showversion test2

Suggested junit test case:
------------------------ CharserTest.java
-------------------------------------------------
import java.nio.charset.*;
import junit.framework.*;
public class CharsetTest extends TestCase {
public static void main(String[] args) {
junit.textui.TestRunner.run(CharsetTest.class);
}
public void test_isSupported() {
boolean sup=false;
// string starts neither a letter nor a digit
try{
sup=Charset.isSupported("-UTF-8");
fail("***BAD. should be exception IllegalCharsetNameException");
} catch (IllegalCharsetNameException e) { //expected
}
// string starts neither a letter nor a digit
try{
sup=Charset.isSupported("_US-ASCII");
fail("***BAD. should be exception IllegalCharsetNameException");
} catch (IllegalCharsetNameException e) { //expected
}
}
}
