[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-2882) [java][security]PKIXParameters.setDate(null) has no effect on the original date value on RI but Harmony sets it to null.

-----------------------------------------

Hi Leo,

I think Harmony follows the spec. for PKIXParameters.setDate(Date date). It says:
"public void setDate(Date date)
Sets the time for which the validity of the certification path should be determined. If null, the current time is used..."

My undestanding is: null is a valid parameter and the spec. clearly states that if it is passed to the method the current time is used.
But according to the test in the bug description RI ignores null value (IOW, it doesn't allow to reset it to current time). Please note it accepts any non-null value (IOW, initial 'time' value is not final and it allows to change it) and this looks inconsistent for me.

I'd mark this bug as "Non-bug differences from RI"

Thanks,
Stepan.
