Description

As discussed in the mailing list, it's more reasonable to throw SerialException instead. Consider following code:
public void testSetBytes() throws Exception {
byte[] buf =

{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }

;
byte[] theBytes =

{ 9, 9, 9 }

;
SerialBlob serialBlob = new SerialBlob(buf);
serialBlob.setBytes (7, theBytes); // ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
serialBlob.setBytes(7, theBytes, 0, 3); // ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
serialBlob.setBytes(7, theBytes, 0, 10); // SerialException
}
RI throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, but according to spec and consistency, it's better throw SerialException.
Harmony won't follow RI's behaviour for this issue. For Harmony implementation details, please refer to Harmony-2835.
The tests are also included in Harmony-2835. Thanks!

Best regards,
Andrew
