Subject: Re: [classlib] compatibility nuances
That our "not in any particular
order" is different than the "not in any particular order"
that the RI
does? I'm not trying to make light of it, but it sounds like all is
correct.
Right, from the spec point of view everything is correct. But I'd
like to say that our particular order differs from RI particular order
(and such behavior conforms to spec). My next statement is: there are
stupid apps that rely on the particular order
returned by RI (regardless of spec). I know one already. The question
is: should we care or not?
Can you figure out what their order is? If so, I'd use that since we
are free to do what we want, and if someone does depende on this, it's
one less change, and it's spec compliant.
As well as I know, the order is what the methods are declared in java
source. (Cannot find any document currently ;-) )
Best regards,

I assume you mean [drlvm], since java.lang.Class in
[classlib] is just a
stub, right?
Anyway, what would you say exactly? That our "not in any particular
order" is different than the "not in any particular order"
that the RI
does? I'm not trying to make light of it, but it sounds like all is
correct.

Hi,
I have discovered we have small incompatibility in our
java.lang.Class
implementation. The order of elements returned by
Class.getDeclaredMethods() differs from RI. The spec says
here: "The
elements in the array returned are not sorted and are not in any
particular order." But I already know one application
that relies on
this - this was one of java.beans test (already patched).
I don't want
to say this is somehow bad but still like to inform the community
about this issue. Probably we need to rise non-bug
differences JIRA?
Thanks,
