Hello All,
As we have further discussion about our Compatibility issues, I'd like
to summarize this particular problems and ask for comments. Thanks a lot.
If we pass a null to j.u.Formatter.Formatter(Appendable a), when we try
to get the destination of the formatter's output by calling
formatter.out(), RI will thrown a java.util.FormatterClosedException.
But according to the specification, the destination should be a
StringBuilder.
Shall we follow RI or specification?
(My opinion is: Following spec, and record a "Non-bug differences from
RI" in JIRA)
+1 for following the spec. and filling corresponding JIRA
Thanks,
Stepan
The following test passes on Harmony, but fails on RI.
public void test_ConstructorLjava_lang_Appendable() {
Formatter formatter = new Formatter((Appendable) null);
Appendable out = formatter.out();
assertTrue(out instanceof StringBuilder);
}
