LOGGING APIs: FileHandler ignores the change of java.io.tmpdir

Name: szR10032 Date: 10/24/2000



The nsk/logging/FileHandler/FileHandler_s/flhndl_s003 test shows
that FileHandler class implementation does not use (for example, if filename
pattern uses %t special component)
new java.io.tmpdir property value if it is changed after
the first FileHandler instance creation.
It is explained by the static type of tmpDir variable
used in FileHandler class implementation and by the organizing of
tmpDir initialization only in the case of first invocation
of init(String, int, int) method.

On the other hand, the nsk/logging/FileHandler/FileHandler_s/flhndl_s004
shows that implementation uses the changed user.home property
if filename pattern uses the %u special component.
In this case the implementation always uses
immediate invocation of System.getProperty("user.home").

Are there the significant reasons for different realizations
of these features for FileHandler class?
In any case, it would be better if these details of implementation
will be specified by the spec.
