[Bug 795914] [NEW] Java method getEntry in class ZipFile calls a native method which return null (it should not since Jar file contains the entry !)

[dag]

Public bug reported:

There is a problem with the Java native method:

private static native long getEntry(long jzfile, String name,
                                        boolean addSlash);

it returns null although I pass name of a class file which I know for
sure is located in the Jar file (the ZipFile).


This native method is called from the method :  public ZipEntry getEntry(String 
name)
which is in the class   java.util.zip.ZipFile;

This method looks like:

 /**
     * Returns the zip file entry for the specified name, or null
     * if not found.
     *
     * @param name the name of the entry
     * @return the zip file entry, or null if not found
     * @throws IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed
     */
    public ZipEntry getEntry(String name) {
        if (name == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException("name");
        }
        long jzentry = 0;
        synchronized (this) {
            ensureOpen();
            jzentry = getEntry(jzfile, name, true);
            if (jzentry != 0) {
                ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(name, jzentry);
                freeEntry(jzfile, jzentry);
                return ze;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }


I tried different jdks but all have this problem:

1.   java-6-openjdk
2.   jdk1.6.0_26
3.  j2sdk1.4.1_07

I believe that since this is a native problem then it must be an Ubuntu
problem and not java's "fault"

Please advise:

thanks

Dag
