[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-2638) [luni][jndi] javax.naming.NamingException.printStackTrace() output should contain the output of NamingException.toString()

Vasily Zakharov commented on HARMONY-2638:
------------------------------------------

I wonder why our implementation overrides that method at all.
In RI, as you may see in JavaDoc, NamingException doesn't override printStackTrace() methods.

Also, it looks like the following spec statement is violated:
"This exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The root exception (or root cause) is the same object as the cause returned by the Throwable.getCause() method."

It means that the same field must be used for getRootCause(), setRootCause(), getCause() and initCause() methods, and that is not true for our implementation. The overridden getCause() and initCause() do nothing in fact.

Looks like this class requires essential cleanup.

> It is said in the specification of the method Throwable.printStackTrace():
> "The first line of output contains the result of the toString() method for this object"
> But NamingException.printStackTrace() doesn't follow this instruction. If the method NamingException.setRootCause(Throwable)
> was invoked, NamingException.printStackTrace() will not contain the result of the toString() method for this exception.
> The test to reproduce the problem:
> import javax.naming.*;
> import java.io.*;
> public class NamingExceptionTest {
>     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>         NamingException ex = new NamingException("test message");        
>         ByteArrayOutputStream bStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
>         PrintStream stream = new PrintStream(bStream);
>         
>         String firstString;
>         String stackTrace;
>  
>         System.setErr(stream);
>         ex.setRemainingName(new CompositeName("element/parent"));
>         ex.setRootCause(new Exception("root cause1"));
>         ex.printStackTrace();
>         stackTrace = bStream.toString();     
>         firstString = ex.toString();
>        
>         if (stackTrace.startsWith(firstString)) {

>         } else {
