org.jboss.test.util.test.PropertyEditorsUnitTestCase failing on Z-systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5639 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5639 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Test Suite Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA Environment: Java Version 1.5.0 Java Vendor IBM Corporation Java VM Name IBM J9 VM Java VM Version 2.3 Java VM Info J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Linux s390-31 j9vmxz3123-20070426 (JIT enabled) J9VM - 20070420_12448_bHdSMr JIT - 20070419_1806_r8 GC - 200704_19 OS Name Linux OS Version 2.6.9-55.EL OS Arch s390 Reporter: Martin Malina Assigned To: Martin Malina Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA When the testsuite is run on the Z-systems, the org.jboss.test.util.test.PropertyEditorsUnitTestCase fails parsing this date with the French locale: text = "ven., 25 juin 1971 00:30:00 +0200"; format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"); date = format.parse(text); This is the exception thrown: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "ven., 25 juin 1971 00:30:00 +0200" at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:352) at org.jboss.test.util.test.PropertyEditorsUnitTestCase.testDateEditor(PropertyEditorsUnitTestCase.java:364) This isn't really a problem in the AS nor testsuite, it is just a different implementation of the date parsing in IBM JDK on Z-series. Everything is fine when "ven." is replaced with plain "ven".
