Hi,
I'm going to close HARMONY-2882 as "non-bug difference with RI".
From my
point of view RI's behaviour violates the spec. and looks
inconsistent.
If there are other opinions about the issue please speak up.
Summary: it is not possible to reset 'date' parameter to the
current time
(by invoking setDate(null)) on RI
(IOW, if 'date' parameter was set non-null value then it is not
possible to
set it back to null value by setDate(null).)
Accoring to the spec.:
*) for java.security.cert.PKIXParameters class it says:
" ... Any parameter that is not set (or is set to null) will be set
to the
default value for that parameter. The default value for the date
parameter
is null, which indicates the current time when the path is
validated..."
*) for PKIXParameters.setDate(Date date) it states:
" Parameters:
date - the Date, or null for the current time"
So null is a valid value for the 'date' parameter for the method. But
testing showed that RI accepts any value for date but null. It just
ignores
it.
The following test demonstrates the difference:
PKIXParameters p = new PKIXParameters(taSet);
p.setDate(new Date(555L)); // assing non-null value
assertEquals(555L, p.getDate().getTime());
p.setDate(null); // set to the current time
assertEquals(555L, p.getDate().getTime()); // <== RI pass and
Harmony fail here
Thanks,
Stepan.

---------------------------------
Hi, Stepan:
I think it is OK to mark it as non-bug difference since
currently we
have no indications that application will depend on this behavior.
(Actually
I agree with you that the currenttime should be set, but RI ...)
Thanks,
Leo.
