835147 - rhino exits the JVM even when run as a subshell of another java shell

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.36 Safari/537.22

Steps to reproduce:

Created a wrapper which allows shubshelling rhino in a java based gogo shell.


Actual results:

While rhino works fine as a subshell, simply passing incorrect usage args or requesting the -help (-?) results in termination of the entire JVM.

This is due to rhino using System.exit(1) as branch termination logic while analyzing the arguments.


Expected results:

Had parsing simply set and later checked an exitCode after processing arguments but before further evaluation, the rhino shell could simply return with a normal exitCode to the outer shell.
