P4 Description
Name: gm110360 Date: 08/09/2002
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.1_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_04-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_04-b02, mixed mode)
Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.3.1_04
Using JRE version 1.3.1_04 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0
SP6a
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Bug can be reproduced on IE 5.01 SP2 & 5.5 SP2
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Under the Windows operating system, setting regional
setting to Turkish and running the test applet & html
provided works incorrectly.
In the previous plugin version, 1.3.0, it used to work.
The thing is, it looks like the plugin does a
String.lowerCase() on the parameter names and this causes
the Turkish character 'I' to translate to lower Turkish
equivalent rather than 'i' because of the VM regional
settings.
Is it possible to have i18n names in the parameter names?
If so, then this works correctly as expected but then
Applet.getParameter works incorrectly.
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Set Windows regional setting to Turkish
2. Compile test applet
3. Run the test applet with the test HTML
4. View that the parameter for "pIncome" is not display
5. Change the parameter name to "pincome"
6. Run again to view the expected result
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected: The parameter value to display in the applet
screen.
Actual: The parameter will not have any value to display
from within the applet because it was null, as if not there!
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error messages, just that the parameter has NULL value as if it did not
exist in the parameters.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Use lower case for 'I' as:
<PARAM NAME="pincome" VALUE="123456"/>
(Review ID: 160409)
======================================================================
I tried the above test case on Windows NT Japanese edition by the
same reproducible process.
That can be reproduced.
When the parameter name is "pIncome", the parameter, "123456" does
not show up in the textfield.
When "pincome", the value shows up.
Configration:
- OS: WindowsNT4.0(SP5, Japanese Edition)
Windows2000(SP2, Japanese Edition)
- Browser: IE 5.5(SP2)
- Locale : Turkish
Note:
- This issue does not happens in 1.4.1_b21.
