KEY PROBLEM
------------
slsol3% setenv LANG hu_HU.ISO8859-2

setenv LANG hu_HU.ISO8859-2 (the issue occurs only with non-english 
locales)

VM version
----------
bash-2.03$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_04"

Attached is a testcase ( with Readme)
Comments
EVALUATION The symptom appears only on 1.4.2. 1.4.1 and 1.5.0 appear to be fine. I think the source code for the class loader was inadvertently omitted. It would be good to provide that as well. There seems to be circular dependency here. A classloader needs to load files from disks, but filenames and file contents are byte sequences that must be decoded, and for non-built-in encodings, they may be provided by an external party, which needs to be found using a classloader... ###@###.### 2004-09-24 after some code comparison between 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 it seems this diff is able to make the test case work. the reason is that after the change the StandardProvider.charsetForName in java.nio.charset.Charset will succeed and so it wont go further. still there seems to be a flaw to me that if it does go thru we will still hit the same problem. ------- StandardCharsets.java ------- *** /tmp/sccs.s1aWfn Tue Sep 28 18:59:25 2004 --- StandardCharsets.java Tue Sep 28 18:56:24 2004 *************** *** 100,105 **** --- 100,106 ---- charset("ISO-8859-2", "ISO_8859_2", new String[] { "iso8859_2", // JDK historical + "ISO8859-2", "iso-ir-101", "ISO_8859-2", "ISO_8859-2:1987", ###@###.### 2004-09-28 This is very interesting. The story with charsets is particularly confusing because there are old-style "io" and new-style "nio" charsets, and they work differently. I also fear that we may fix iso8859-2, and yet have other charsets broken. iso8859-3 does *not* appear to be a "standard" charset in 1.5.0. Be careful! In 1.5.0 StandardCharsets.java is a generated file. Patches to it would be wrong. You need to edit the true source. ###@###.### 2004-09-28 verified in 1.4.2_07 on solaris 9 (sparc). ###@###.### 2004-11-05 ###@###.### 2004-11-05 15:21:44 GMT As Martin had apprehended, this fix had remained broken on "ja" locale. np156323@bongo1>java -version java version "1.4.2_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_07-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_07-b05, mixed mode) np156323@bongo1>locale LANG=ja LC_CTYPE="ja" LC_NUMERIC="ja" LC_TIME="ja" LC_COLLATE="ja" LC_MONETARY="ja" LC_MESSAGES="ja" LC_ALL= np156323@bongo1>java -Djava.system.class.loader=workshop.core.AppClassLoader -cp .:ClassLoader.jar Test *****Starting AppClassLoader java.lang.IllegalStateException: recursive invocation at java.lang.ClassLoader.initSystemClassLoader(ClassLoader.java:1139) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(ClassLoader.java:1122) at java.nio.charset.Charset$1.<init>(Charset.java:297) at java.nio.charset.Charset.providers(Charset.java:294) at java.nio.charset.Charset.access$000(Charset.java:245) at java.nio.charset.Charset$2.run(Charset.java:362) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.nio.charset.Charset.lookupViaProviders(Charset.java:359) at java.nio.charset.Charset.lookup2(Charset.java:437) at java.nio.charset.Charset.lookup(Charset.java:425) at java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(Charset.java:463) at java.lang.StringCoding.lookupCharset(StringCoding.java:82) at java.lang.StringCoding.decode(StringCoding.java:211) at java.lang.StringCoding.decode(StringCoding.java:230) at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:371) at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:390) at java.io.UnixFileSystem.canonicalize0(Native Method) at java.io.UnixFileSystem.canonicalize(UnixFileSystem.java:157) at java.io.File.getCanonicalPath(File.java:513) at java.io.File.getCanonicalFile(File.java:534) at sun.misc.Launcher.getFileURL(Launcher.java:389) at sun.misc.Launcher.pathToURLs(Launcher.java:332) at sun.misc.Launcher.access$300(Launcher.java:37) at sun.misc.Launcher$3.run(Launcher.java:319) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.misc.Launcher.getBootstrapClassPath(Launcher.java:316) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getBootstrapClassPath(ClassLoader.java:973) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getBootstrapResource(ClassLoader.java:948) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(ClassLoader.java:810) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(ClassLoader.java:808) at workshop.core.AppClassLoader$PatchUtil.initializeDir(AppClassLoader.java:454) at workshop.core.AppClassLoader$PatchUtil.newFile(AppClassLoader.java:488) at workshop.core.AppClassLoader$PatchUtil.getPatchList(AppClassLoader.java:379) at workshop.core.AppClassLoader.<init>(AppClassLoader.java:113) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:274) at java.lang.SystemClassLoaderAction.run(ClassLoader.java:1853) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.initSystemClassLoader(ClassLoader.java:1147) at java.lang.ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(ClassLoader.java:1122) Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: recursive invocation ###@###.### 2005-03-02 15:05:38 GMT Bug seem to have been fixed on 1.4.2_08_b02 for ja locale. np156323@bongo1>locale LANG=ja LC_CTYPE="ja" LC_NUMERIC="ja" LC_TIME="ja" LC_COLLATE="ja" LC_MONETARY="ja" LC_MESSAGES="ja" LC_ALL= np156323@bongo1>export PATH=/net/jre.sfbay/p/v09/jdk/1.4.2_08/fcs/b02/binaries/solars-sparc/bin:$PATH np156323@bongo1>which java /net/jre.sfbay/p/v09/jdk/1.4.2_08/fcs/b02/binaries/solaris-sparc/bin/java np156323@bongo1>java -Djava.system.class.loader=workshop.core.AppClassLoader -cp .:CassLoader.jar Test *****Starting AppClassLoader *****Adding system classpath: .:ClassLoader.jar done!!!! np156323@bongo1>java -version java version "1.4.2_08" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b02, mixed mode) ###@###.### 2005-03-02 15:09:26 GMT
