[jira] Created: (FELIX-265) Empty line in a manifest
Empty line in a manifest
------------------------
Key: FELIX-265
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-265
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Framework
Environment: Mac OS 10.4 and Java 1.4.2
Reporter: Charles Gouin-Vallerand
When an empty line is add in a manifest file, the parsing of the manifest stop at the empty line. Like in this example :
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.4.2-70 ("Apple Computer, Inc.")
Bundle-Name: IOEventCore
Bundle-SymbolicName: IOEventCore
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Import-Package: ca.usherbrooke.domus.osgi.io.events.connection,
ca.usherbrooke.domus.osgi.io.events.messages, ca.usherbrooke.
domus.osgi.io.events.module, ca.usherbrooke.domus.osgi.io.events.services, org.osgi.framework
Bundle-Activator: ca.usherbrooke.domus.osgi.io.events.core.impl.IOCoreActivator
In this example, the parsing stop after the "Created-By". The problem encountred in this example is that the manifest is generated by ant with the concatenation of the 3 first lines (automatically generated) and a text file containing the rest of the manifest.
An empty line is authorized in the Java-Sun manifest standard : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest

[jira] Commented: (FELIX-265) Empty line in a manifest
Posted by "Stuart McCulloch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Stuart McCulloch commented on FELIX-265:
----------------------------------------
The manifest spec also states:
"Groups of name-value pairs are known as a "section". Sections are separated from other sections by empty lines."
"The main section contains security and configuration information about the JAR file itself, as well as the application or extension that this JAR file is a part of. It also defines main attributes that apply to every individual manifest entry. No attribute in this section can have its name equal to "Name". This section is terminated by an empty line."
If I read this correctly, the empty line in your example would mark the end of the main section of the manifest (which contains the OSGi metadata) and denotes the start of a new section - the manifest parser would expect the new section to start with 'Name: <jar-entry>' and any attributes would only apply to the named jar entry (btw, I don't believe entry-specific OSGi metadata makes sense).
I hope this explains why the parsing stops at the new-line.
