There seems to be a typo in the following source code in
sun.io.CharacterEncoding.java:

The line:
        aliasTable.put("iso_8859-1:1978", "ISO8859_1");

should be:

        aliasTable.put("iso_8859-1:1987", "ISO8859_1");

Or at least be added...

The following is the test case to demonstrate the problem.


import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

/**************************************************************************
* This application is to verify the bug 4328738 is fixed or not.
* The bug is that Java doesn't accept IANA standard name of "ISO-8859-1"
**************************************************************************/

public class isotest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = new String("ABCDEFG");
try {
// Try IANA standard encoding name for ISO-8859-1
// If bug exists, application will recieve UnsupportedEncodingException
str.getBytes("iso_8859-1:1987");
// originally in test case->str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1:1987"); // but wrong.
System.out.println("Bug is fixed");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("Bug still exists");
}
}
}
