Michael McCandless created TIKA-1024: ----------------------------------------
Summary: An MP3 with an UTF-16 ID3 tag containing only the BOM should produce empty string value for that tag Key: TIKA-1024 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1024 Project: Tika Issue Type: Bug Components: parser Reporter: Michael McCandless Assignee: Michael McCandless Fix For: 1.3 This seems to be a difference between JVMs: on IBM's JVM I incorrectly see the BOM as the value of the tag, while on Oracle's JVM I correctly get the empty string. I'm not sure if this is a bug in IBM's JVM ... the javadocs are not totally clear how a UTF-16 string containing only the BOM should be decoded by new String(...) ... to fix this I think we should just detect this case and short-circuit empty string return. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
