Thomas Neidhart updated COLLECTIONS-323:
----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.0
> Behavior of constructors CaseInsensitiveMap inconsistent with standard Java
> HashMap
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: COLLECTIONS-323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-323
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Map
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Maarten Brak
> Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.2.2, 4.0
>
> Attachments: patch.tar.gz

> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> The constructor CaseInsensitiveMap(int initialCapacity) throws an
> IllegalArgumentException if "the initial capacity is less than one". This is
> inconsistent with the standard Java HashMap constructor HashMap(int
> initialCapacity), which throws an if IllegalArgumentException if "the initial
> capacity is negative".
> Thus:
> new HashMap(0) ==> no exception
> new CaseInsensitiveMap(0) ==> IllegalArgumentException.
> This inconsistency is confusing.
> Actions:
> - Change Javadoc (this shouldn't be a problem in practice since surely there
> is no code around depending on the fact that the constructor throws an
> IllegalArgumentException :-))
> - Change code.
