Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello,

Anyone an idea why in mail-1.4.2.jar when using encoding a whitespace is added? In mail-1.4.jar this was not the case. This can for example cause problems when you use the encoding to create encrypted passwords for storage in databases. I already added a bug report (1519938) which is in review. I added some info from the bug report below.

With regards.
Paul


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Sample code is added to this bug report. Simply run using the different mail.jar versions.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The output of the example code should be:

Crypt this: 'wDgHDzqoH2USqnK72P+xZk4k+tg='

ACTUAL -
The output of the example code with mail-1.4.2.jar was:

Crypt this: 'wDgHDzqoH2USqnK72P+xZk4k+tg=
'

As can be seen a trailing enter is added before the closing single quote.
