1. Known existing SUN Bug ID's (If Any): None
2. Workarounds: None
3. Test Case and Failure Data
When an applet is running on Java Plug-in with Netscape Navigator, Japanese parameter
values described in html file are not loaded correctly. The loaded Japanese parameters are
shown as garbages. This problem does not occur with IE5 and appletviewer.
- Environment
Operating Systems: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000
Hardware: Pentium II 600MHz, 256MB RAM, 17GB harddrive
Application: Netscape Communicator 4.7[ja]
- Steps to reproduce the problem
1) Create the following Java source as "ParamTest.java", and compile the source.
--- start ---
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class ParamTest extends Applet {
public void init() {
String str = getParameter("JSTRING");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
add(new Label(str));
add(new Button(str));
System.out.println(str);
}
}
--- end ---
2) Create the following html file as "paramtest.html".
This file contains Japanese string as param of "JSTRING".
--- start ---
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
<body>
<!-- CONVERTER VERSION 1.3 -->
<OBJECT
classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"

<NOEMBED>
</COMMENT>
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
<!--"END_CONVERTED_APPLET"-->
</body>
</html>
--- end ---
3) Open paramtest.html from Netscape Navigator.
A test applets of AWT will come up, but strings in Label and Button in the applet
will be shown as garbages. <----- PROBLEM !!
These labels are Japanese originally and passed to the applets via a value of a PARAM tag in the HTML file.
(note) The Japanese strings used in this sample are "\u3042\u3042\u3042\u3042".
