Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .

    workaround this problem and it is not possible for Java 5.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The problem happens when first byte is valid lead byte and
    
    second byte is not valid second byte of double byte sequence,
    then it replaces both bytes together with single FFFD instead of
    replacing only first byte with FFFD with IO convertor side of
    GB18030 codepage. Second byte should be checked for valid single
    byte or valid lead byte of multi byte sequence
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    
    5.0.0 SR16 FP6
    6.0.0 SR16
    6.0.1 SR8
    7.0.0 SR7
    .
    The JDK is updated to replace FFFD for maximal subpart of
    invalid double byte sequence and subsequent byte will be checked
    for valid single byte or valid lead byte of multi byte sequence.
    

Temporary fix
