Description

I encountered this error while working on OFBIZ-6650. I noticed that when you use R12.04 with Java 8 front-end is completly messed up, even locally.

This is due to the "language" screen in CommonScreens, if you comment it out from <screen name="rightbar"> then it's OK.

The error is

Error in request handler:
Exception: org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException
Message: Error rendering screen [component://ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml#language]: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 2 (String index out of range: 2)
---- cause ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
Message: String index out of range: 2

It's OK with Java 1.7
