[Pljava-dev] Strange error on linux but not on windows

Hi

Do you define the function as LANGUAGE JAVAU? If that doesn't get

Yes I did. And in fact I think I found a bug. Check out this small java
code:

package net.sourceforge.pgbsh;

import java.io.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;

public class Test {
public static boolean testSSL() throws IOException {
int port = 443;
String hostName = "www.sun.com" ;

SSLSocketFactory sslFact = (SSLSocketFactory)
SSLSocketFactory.getDefault ();
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) sslFact.createSocket(hostName, port);
InputStream in = socket . getInputStream ();
OutputStream out = socket . getOutputStream ();

// la la la ...

in.close ();
out.close ();

return true;
}
}

And create the SQL function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_ssl()
RETURNS boolean
AS 'net.sourceforge.pgbsh.Test.testSSL'
LANGUAGE javau;

Now, when you do this on windows, there is no problem:
postgres=# select test_ssl();
test_ssl
----------
t
(1 Zeile)

postgres=#

But when you do exactly the same on linux, you can not:
postgres=# select test_ssl();
ERROR: java.io.IOException

... I think it depends on the "only root can listen on ports < 1000" thing
...

Cheers
Chris
