Problem Fixes
Known JavaSoft bugs are documented in the Oracle Bug Database at http://
bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/ .
Note that on occasion HP backports a defect fix from a Oracle release that has not yet
been merged into our current sources. Therefore, an Oracle defect may be fixed in an
HP release even though the Oracle release that contains the fix is not part of the HP
release.
This 1.4.2.28 release includes the enhancements and defects fixed in previous HP 1.4.2
releases and in Oracle's 1.4.2_29 - 1.4.2_36 releases, as well as the following additional
defect fixes.
Defects fixed in the SDK 1.4.2.28 release
DescriptionHP defect
1.4 crash: java core dump: Error:must find derived/base pairQXCR1001048217
Excessive Socket with RMI/Corba 4000228411QXCR1001115828
A regression in HP's SDK versions 1.4.2.11 and 1.4.2.12 and JDK versions 5.0.04, 5.0.05,
and 5.0.06 can affect the running of finalizers.
Infrequently, a finalizer is not run and the expected clean-up of any objects and resources
performed in that finalizer does not occur. Symptoms can include exhaustion of available
system resources including file descriptors and memory.
A fix for this problem is included in HP's SDK version 1.4.2.13 and later and JDK version
5.0.07 and later.
