Hi Mandy,
Could I get a code review for 6998860:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mullan/6998860/webrev.00/
Is Providers.getSunProvider() specified to create a new instance of
the provider
every time it's called? I would assume that the runtime should create
only one
single instance of the Sun provider.
Yes, makes sense but that is how it is currently implemented.
In the comment of the sun.security.jca.Providers.getSunProvider()
method, this
method is called in two places.
// Return to Sun provider or its backup.
// This method should only be called by
// sun.security.util.ManifestEntryVerifier and
java.security.SecureRandom.
public static Provider getSunProvider() {
Is it correct to change this method to cache and return a singleton
object?
That seems plausible but I'm a bit hesitant to change that if there
isn't a problem.
I'm fine with the change. I suggest to add a comment in the
SunProviderHolder class and revisit this in jdk 8 / modularization.
