Problem Description
===================

(This is very likely a test bug)

Synopsis: src/Permissions/enableResolveObjectTest FAILS on Solaris

unexpected Exception e java.io.FileNotFoundException: t.tmp (No such file or directory)
unexpected Exception e java.io.StreamCorruptedException: InputStream does not contain a serialized object

*NOTE*

This test PASSES on win32 but FAILS on Solaris



enableResolveObjectTest FAILING in two cases:
--------------------------------------------

Case 1: unexpected Exception e java.io.FileNotFoundException: t.tmp (No such file or directory)

Line 55 in enableResolveObjectTest.java is looking for a file named t.tmp:
FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream("t.tmp");
but throws a java.io.FileNotFoundException since the "t.tmp" doesn't exist

Case 2: unexpected Exception e java.io.StreamCorruptedException: InputStream does not contain a serialized object

NOTE: java.io.StreamCorruptedException results when tester tries to "fudge" the test by creating a file named "t.tmp"
containing bogus data.

enableResolveObjectTest expects to find a serialized object in testStream from MyObjectInputStream but the serialized object
never seems to be getting stored there in the first place??

Here is the code block from enableResolveObjectTest.java:

void run() throws Exception {
    46 /*
    47 ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    48 ObjectOutputStream aStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outStream);
    49
    50 aStream.writeInt(12345);
    51 aStream.writeObject("Today");
    52
    53 StringBufferInputStream inStream = new StringBufferInputStream(outStream.toString());
    54 */
    55 FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream("t.tmp");
    56 MyObjectInputStream testStream = new MyObjectInputStream(istream);
    57 testStream.ResolveObjects();
    58 }


Test Platform
=============

SunOS rstones 5.7 Generic_106541-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10System = SunOS
Node = rstones
Release = 5.7
KernelID = Generic_106541-11
Machine = sun4u

Test JDK
========

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-b18, mixed mode)


To reproduce the problem
========================

1) Install Solaris JDK 1.3_b18 on your Solaris 2.7 machine
2) Run the java.security Permissions tests
3) Check test result for Test Name = enableResolveObjectTest:

Expected result: (as seen on win32)

Test Name = enableResolveObjectTest
Test Args = void Expected Result = true
Test Result = PASS: passed the test as expected

Actual Result: (as seen on Solaris)

Test Name = enableResolveObjectTest
Test Args = void Expected Result = true
Test Result = FAIL : unexpected Exception e java.io.StreamCorruptedException: InputStream does not contain a serialized object

java.io.StreamCorruptedException: InputStream does not contain a serialized object
