Hello, Please review the following change:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prappo/8217606/webrev.00/ The original issue seems to be an unintended consequence of JDK-8059009 [1]. The proposed change is based on the private patch by Chris Yin. I skimmed through the history of the `com.sun.jndi.ldap.Connection.useable` flag which dates back to JDK-4532408 [2] - Maintains a flag, 'useable', to indicate whether underlying network connection is useable. A connection starts out useable and becomes unuseable when an IO error is encountered while reading from/writing to it. and I believe that this field is a good fit for what Chris has proposed. Not only does the proposed change fix the issue, it also introduces a reusable test component for mocking/stubbing/faking an LDAP server. Chris and myself took some time in our private correspondence to shape that component such that it would allow to refactor some of the existing LDAP tests, should we decide to do so. As far as mach5 is concerned, the change looks good. Thanks, -Pavel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8059009 [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4532408
