JDK-4624534 - JarEntry.getCertificates() returns null on Turkish locale (tr_TR)
Description

Name: nt126004			Date: 11/01/2001


java 1.3.1 build 1.3.1-b24

On windows environment (98, 2000), if I set windows to use Turkish locale, JWS
can't start apps like Poseidon, Jext, etc,. But If I set windows to use English
locale, the problem vanishes; JWS displays certificate (if it is first run) and
starts applications.

The error I get is:
"Unsigned application requesting unrestricted access to system"
or if the jnlp file is not specifying all-permissions
"Category: Download Error
Unable to load resource: http://redsun1.sfbay/Test.jnlp"

  To duplicate the problem:
i) set win2000 locale to Turkish.
ii) restart the windows
iii) start Java Web Start
iv) Load an application( e.g. Poseidon
http://www.gentleware.com/products/download.php3)
v) start the application
vi) you will see no certificate info
vii) and you will get the error

BTW demo apps from sun (the default remote applications) are running without any problems.

EVALUATION Turkish locale is not handled by l10n team. I am not sure if i18n team supports Turkish locale. ###@###.### 2002-01-02 Although We don't specifically support Turkish, Java Web Start should behave the same in unsuported locals as in english. Testing shows that when Windows is set to the Turkish local, signed jar files return no certificated from JarFile.JarFileEntry.getCertificates() (comes back null in Turkish, and works in other locales (even other unsupported locales such as Slovenian). Although this seems to be a JDK problem, I havent found any related java bug. ###@###.### 2002-01-10 The test case at: http://web-east.east/~ngthomas/jawstest/4522078/ can prove that this is a jdk problem, not javawebstart. new bug filed: 4624534 please read this new bug for more information ###@###.### 2002-01-16
