Win XP Firefox HostedMode problem with non-english server locale

exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.util.Date.parse(Date.java:582)

the GWTShellServlet seems to encode date response headers using the
JVM's default locale.
Example response headers starting the shell when windows input locale
is danish
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date:lø, 20 maj 2006 07:41:24 GMT
Last-Modified:ma, 15 maj 2006 23:44:10 GMT
Expires:on, 2 jan 1980 04:00:00 GMT
Content-Type:text/html
Content-Length:377
Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1
The exception happens when I refresh a page,
Firefox sets the request header:
If-Modified-Since : ma, 15 maj 2006 23:44:10 GMT
and java.util.Date.parse() doesn't handle that date format
IE seems to discard the faulty headers (I'm pretty sure that the HTTP
date header format has to be in english), so with IE it's not a problem
although nothing generated will be cached in the browser (didn't
actually check )
A temporary fix (before the google developers fix this - hint hint), is
to force the JVM to run with en_US locale:
add the following system properties to the java command that launches
the GWTShell
-Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US
i.e. in Mail-shell.cmd
@java -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US -cp "%~dp0\src ......

P.s. java.util.Date.parse(String s) has been deprecated since JDK 1.1
(so that's 9 or so years ago) how embarasing ;-)

The solution for me is only to modify the default language in Firefox.
Thanks to fix this bug in next release.
[Pour les lecteurs français]
J'ai un problème similaire mais juste avec Firefox et pas tout le
temps (ça a eu marché sans rien faire et là, ça ne marche plus).
Grace au message de Johal, la solution que j'ai trouvé à consister à
modifier la langue par défaut de firefox (J'ai choisi en-us).
Merci de corriger ce problème dans la prochaine version.

This framework is not stable.
I have write a test :
public void onModuleLoad()
{
HorizontalPanel header = new HorizontalPanel();
header.add(new Label("Date"));
header.add(new Label("Logo"));
header.add(new Label("Languages"));
HorizontalPanel body = new HorizontalPanel();
body.add(new Label("Body"));
DockPanel window = new DockPanel();
window.add(header, DockPanel.NORTH);
window.add(body, DockPanel.CENTER);
window.setWidth("100%");
RootPanel.get().add(window);
}
In Hosted Mode, OK.
In Firefox 1.5.0.3 :
1/ Fist time ==> Error 500 :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.util.Date.parse(Date.java:582)
com.google.gwt.dev.shell.GWTShellServlet.isNotModified(GWTShellServlet.java:456)

com.google.gwt.dev.shell.GWTShellServlet.service(GWTShellServlet.java:67)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
(Language in firefox : en-us)
2/ After refresh (F5) ==> White page !
3/ After refresh (F5) ==> Error 500 (same error)
4/ After refresh (F5) ==> Error 500 (same error)
5/ After refresh (F5) ==> Page is display ! (OK)
6/ After refresh (F5) ==> Error 500 (same error)
7/ After refresh (F5) ==> White page !
...
I do not like the random behavior !!!
How explain this?
Johal
problems will go away...;-)
