Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Java APIs for DOM, defect, P3)

Description

[rpallath]

The deleteData method of CharacterData Remove a range of characters from the
node.
It should throw exception for negative value of count or offset
and also If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all characters
from offset to the end of the data are deleted.

In this test case offset is 1 and
count is set to Integer.MIN_VALUE(-2147483648).

But it still goes ahead and deletes all characters from offset 1 on invoking
this method.

To execute the test
get MOZILLA from mozilla tree.
build apprunner.
follow steps as indicated in <MOZILLA>/java/dom/java/tests/src/README.

on command line invoke
  sh autorun.sh -t org.mozilla.dom.test.CharacterDataImpl_deleteData_int_int_6

The log files are registered in dir. mozilla/java/dom/tests/src/log.


Also attached is a   debug log.
