REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 7u71


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
Comments
Escape-old label added, since this bug was caused by JDK-7196009, which was introduced in 8.

Regression of 7196009 (since jdk8 b91)

Well, a library name containing a space can be parsed. However, the value for the library name have to be surrounded by double quotes. In 7u71, the whole line is taken as the value for the library name, but later we changed to parse the line as one string entry which means requiring the value to be quoted when special characters (such as space) are part of the value.

I think this may have been caused by JDK-7196009 and that change now stops parsing a library name when it contains a space.

Additional information from the submitter: Code fails in runtime on line iSecurityProvider = (Provider) tConstructor.newInstance(tConfigStream); with a exception "Caused by: java.security.ProviderException: Error parsing configuration" when there is a space in tLibFilename. The case is loading security provider for PKCS11. Code example for test case: try{ String tLibFilename = "C:\\pki DLL\\x64\\acpkcs211.dll"; String tPkcs11Config = "name=SmartCard\nlibrary = " + tLibFilename; tPkcs11Config += "\nslot = " + tSlot; byte[] tPkcs11ConfigBytes = tPkcs11Config.getBytes(); ByteArrayInputStream tConfigStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(tPkcs11ConfigBytes); Class tSunPkcs11Class = Class.forName("sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11"); Constructor tConstructor = tSunPkcs11Class.getConstructor(InputStream.class); iSecurityProvider = (Provider) tConstructor.newInstance(tConfigStream); Security.addProvider(iSecurityProvider); this.logSecurityProviders(); } catch (Exception e) { iSecurityProvider = null; e.printStackTrace(System.err); }
