java.io.CharArrayWriter(negative) throws NegativeArraySizeException

Name: bb33257 Date: 06/26/98


If you construct a CharArrayWriter with a negative buffer size parameter,
you'll see a NegativeArraySizeException rather than an IllegalArgumentException.
This problem causes a JCK test to fail.

import java.io.*;
public class CWCons {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    try {
       CharArrayWriter caw = new CharArrayWriter(-10);
    }
    catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
      System.out.println("OK, good exception");
      System.exit(0);
    }
    System.out.println("Didn't get expected exception");
    System.exit(0);
  }
}
