Public bug reported:
I have a small task that's done in Java's javax.script engine for
JavaScript, which I understand was based on Rhino in Java SE 6 and 7,
swapped out for Nashorn in Java SE 8. The code fails to run in
openjdk-6 (38) and openjdk-7(95) - both i386 and amd64- but *only* in
Ubuntu. A colleague has tested the exact same releases of Java in
Redhat without the error. The code, however, works fine in openjdk-8 in
both Ubuntu and Redhat.
The main issue seems to be that the + operator between two strings no
longer produces a string result, it produces a
sun.org.mozilla.javascript.ConsString instead. That doesn't behave as a
regular String (it lacks a replace method, passing it as a parameter to
a Java method expecting String produces method not found because the
signature is wrong, etc.) If I edit and change every string expression
s1 + s2 to be String(s1 + s2) then I have a usable string again.
Here is some code to reproduce the error:
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;
public class jstest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine testEngine =
mgr.getEngineByMimeType( "application/javascript");
String testScript =
" var key = 'something';\n" +
" var tpr = 'echo';\n" +
" var pb = new java.lang.ProcessBuilder(tpr, '--', '--'+key);\n" +
" pb.start().waitFor();\n";
System.out.println(testEngine.eval(testScript)); // success prints 0
}
}
Running in Ubuntu gives this error:
javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException:
Java constructor for "java.lang.ProcessBuilder" with arguments
"string,string,sun.org.mozilla.javascript.ConsString" not found.
Any ideas what's going wrong and why only in Ubuntu?
