NativeXAFileInputStream.read method returns prematurely

[Miloslav Fritz]

Hello,

we have a problem with reading a binary files using XADisk's NativeXAFileInputStream.

Problem is that anytime in the binary file appears a FF character (represented as -1 as byte), the stream is just closed, because it is considered as EOF.

Looking at the sources it seems that in NativeXAFileInputStream.java in some places, there is wrong up-casting from byte to int.

It should be:

byte b = -1;
int a = b & 0xFF;

I think this is a bug, I wonder that nobody came into this yet ?

Thanks,

Milo

Hi Milo,

Yes, I confirmed that it is a bug. Here is the tracking bug, I am checking in the fix too: https://java.net/jira/browse/XADISK-171.
