JDK-8020362 - getResource() doesn't locate resources in jar if run locally
Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
  From active java console (32 bit):
Java Plug-in 10.40.2.31
Using JRE version 1.7.0_40-ea-b31 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In code sample below, the call to construct a new JEditorPane() results in java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when applet is run locally as a signed but unrestricted applet.

This may be related to Bug Id: 9005015

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Steps to reproduce

1) Build applet class code below and create a jar containing the following:
       TestApplet.class
        test.html (has single line:  " <h1>Text from test.html file</h1> " 
        META-INF folder (standard manifest)

Here's a link to an archive with all files needed to reproduce:
  http://flexibleretirementplanner.com/java/java-test/jeditorpane-bug-report.zip

2) Sign jar with trusted certificate and save as SignedUnrestricted.jar
(note: manifest should not specify codebase or permissions)

3) create html launch file using applet tag as follows:
<html><center><title>Test Applet</title><applet
  archive  =  " SignedUnrestricted.jar " 
  code     =  " TestApplet.class " 
  name     =  " Test Applet " 
  width    =  " 250 " 
  height   =  " 50 " 
  hspace   =  " 0 " 
  vspace   =  " 0 " 
  align    =  " middle " 
  mayscript =  " true " 
></applet></center></html>

4) With jar in same folder as html file, click on html file to launch locally using internet explorer, firefox, or chrome.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Applet should display test message from test.html.
ACTUAL -
A runtime error occurs

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
If the signed jar is sandboxed (using permissions in manifest and applet tag), the crash doesn't occur, but that's because the getResource() call returns null so the call to JEditorPane() never happens.

The getResource() returns null behavior also occurs if the jar is left unsigned (see bug id 9005015) and this may or may not be related to this issue.
Comments
getResource() return null for local applet case is expected, due to the security fix. Otherwise the URL will exposed local file system path information, which should not be available to local applets. Use getResourceAsStream to load the resource contents directly.

This is caused by running an applet locally, which will not have access to the same resources as an applet run from a website.

This issue has possibly the same root cause as 8020362, but it may be that the deploy code should be more robust to handle the possibility of null values.

looks like a NullPointerException problem in deploy.

SAM, please update the bug to describe exactly your yesterday's findings.

Victor - can you provide the details how you find conn.getContentEncoding throwing NPE? Do you have a stack trace? Michael - can you take a look?

NPE in conn.getContentEncoding()

Consider the following method in the sun.plugin.net.protocol.jar.CachedJarURLConnection class: public String getHeaderField(String name) { String headerString = null; try { connect(); } catch (IOException ioe) { if (Trace.isEnabled(TraceLevel.NETWORK)) Trace.ignored(ioe); } List headers = (List)headerFields.get(name); if (headers != null) { headerString = (String)headers.get(0); } return headerString; } In the connect() method the headerFields field could be set to null, but the method above does not check the headerFields field before accessing.

Please verify is it affected version 7u6 or 7 GA also?
