Description

Bugtraq ID 6295580

In a few environments, such as Java Web Start, it may not be possible to get jsk-platform.jar included in the system class loader. But, URL protocol handlers must be accessible from that loader. Rather than suggesting that all of jsk-platform.jar be installed in the extensions directory, it might be desirable to have a jsk-handler.jar file that contains just net.jini.url.httpmd.Handler and the classes it depends on. However, with the current implementation, running ClassDep on Handler will pull in a fair number of extraneous classes. This could be avoided by moving the default-access digestString, stringDigest, and commentChar methods out of HttpmdUtil and into a separate default-access implementation class.
