jxta class loading issue using IBM JDK 1.6

[glassfishrobot]

Reported issue is with IBM JDK 1.6 on Linux, AIX and Windows. One can work around this issue using IBM JDK 1.5.

Executive summary of bug in IBM JDK 1.6 from Bongjae; (does not include how this breaks jxta)

Given following test code fragment:

Package javaLangPackage = Package.getPackage( "java.lang" ); System.out.println( javaLangPackage.getSpecificationVersion() );

In Sun JDK6

1.6

In IBM JDK6

null

So Package#isCompatibleWith() can return "java.lang.NumberFormatException: Empty version string" exception in IBM JDK6 because specVersion can be null.

• current cvs jxta.jar works well in Sun JDK1.5, Sun JDK1.6 and IBM JDK1.5.
• I tested this case in Windows and Linux. Both Windows and Linux returned same error when I used IBM JDK1.6.

Complete details provided by Bongjae:

I tried to test current shoal version in IBM JDK 1.6.

But GMS failed to join the group in IBM JDK 1.6.

Here is error log.

I could know that "Could not locate World PeerGroup Module Implementation" message was concerned with JDK version and jxta platform when I reviewed [Shoal-Users] mailing list.

So I tried to test jxta.jar simply.

D:>

I could know that this error was related to Package.isCompatibleWith() method.

Here is my test code.

---

Package javaLangPackage = Package.getPackage( "java.lang" ); System.out.println( javaLangPackage.getSpecificationVersion() );

In Sun JDK6

1.6

In IBM JDK6

null

So Package#isCompatibleWith() can return "java.lang.NumberFormatException: Empty version string" exception in IBM JDK6 because specVersion can be null.

• current cvs jxta.jar works well in Sun JDK1.5, Sun JDK1.6 and IBM JDK1.5.
• I tested this case in Windows and Linux. Both Windows and Linux returned same error when I used IBM JDK1.6.

@glassfishrobot Commented @jfialli said: I downloaded IBM JDK 6 as part of Eclipse for windows. The manifest file for rt.jar is incorrectly configured. It is missing package specification and version info for package java.

@glassfishrobot Commented shreedhar_ganapathy said: Working with IBM under support arrangement, they will make a patch over JDK 6 SR5 available to Sun's customers on AIX platform for this issue. The patch is expected to be made available in about a month from now. They do not plan to have this patch available for IBM JDK 6 SR5 on other platforms. This patch should also work with SR6 since SR 6 is already in freeze so the fix did not make it there. We hope that SR 7 would have the fix incorporated.

@glassfishrobot Commented @jfialli said: No fix on shoal side. An update version of IBM JDK 6 fixes this issue.
