JDK-2229373 | 7u21 | Mark Howe | P3 | Closed | Fixed | b02 |
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Processional Version 2002, Service Pack 2
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
client is behind a proxy with NTLM authentication
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Webstart can not launch if a own JRE was installed with the ExtensionInstallerService into a user specific cache directory whereby the path contains non-ASCII characters.
The JRE gets installed successfully and the deployment properties in c:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\ have a property like this:
deployment.user.cachedir=C\:\\Documents and Settings\\X9TFA\\My Documents\\1webstart\u00E4\u00F6\u00FC
the last directory path segment have german special characters and they are UTF encoded. The path was set via System Control->Java. The downloaded JRE is installed into ${deployment.user.cachedir}\6.0\ext\E12... If the user tries to start the application with the installed JRE an error messages occures (here in German):
"Fehlerhafte Installation. Fehler beim Aufruf von Java VM (SysExec)
C:\Documents and Settings\X9TFA\My Documents\1webstart\u00E4\u00F6\u00FC\6.0\ext\E12...\bin\javaw.exe"
The non-ASCII characters encoded in the userCacheDir path are not decoded before starting the VM. It doesn't matter whether the user name or some path segments containing non-ASCII characters.
