java.text.MessageFormat.parse fails for some patterns

Name: dfC67450 Date: 03/11/98



Object[] java.text.MessageFormat.parse(String text, ParsePosition pp)
works incorrectly with patterns containing multiple occurences of the
same argument like "{0}, {0}, {0}". With this pattern the string
"x, y, z" is incorrect but method doesn't reject it.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.text.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0}, {0}, {0}");
        String forParsing = "x, y, z";
        Object[] objs = mf.parse(forParsing, new ParsePosition(0));
        System.out.println("pattern: \"" + mf.toPattern() + "\"");
        System.out.println("text for parsing: \"" + forParsing + "\"");
        System.out.println("argument0: \"" + objs[0] + "\"");
    }
}

---------Output from the test ---------------------
pattern: "{0}, {0}, {0}"
text for parsing: "x, y, z"
argument0: "z"
--------------------------------------------------
