24723 - DOMException not thrown for CharacterData->deleteData method for offset values greater than data length.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[rpallath]

According to W3C docs.
for method deleteData(offset, count) of Character
if the offset value is  greater than the value of length of the string, then
it should  throw a DOMException.

Right now it throws out RuntimeException instead of DOMException.

The test case simply creates a Text Node with a valid text value and tries to
deleteData from offset set  to Integer.MAX_VALUE

To execute.

Build mozilla-bin
Follow instructions in mozilla/java/dom/tests/src/README

then from command line execute
sh autorun.sh -t org.mozilla.dom.test.CharacterDataImpl_deleteData_init_int_4

(choose 'HTML' option from the 3 choices).

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

Attached is debug log and the testcase java file.

Below is the exception thrown

Verified mozilla branch  Netscape_6_1_RELEASE and blackwood
