RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rhino-1.7R4-1.el6, java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.91-2.6.2.4.el6
Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
_rhino_ rebased to version 1.7R4 *Rhino*, an open-source implementation of JavaScript written in Java, has been rebased to version 1.7R4. This update fixes a JSON-related bug in the _java-1.7.0-openjdk_ package, which uses _rhino_ as a build dependency. Additionally, the previously missing manual page, README and LICENSE files have been added.

js.jar

The expected output is:

$ java -jar js.jar
"a":"b"
b

what works on rhel7 and fedora 18, but on
rhel6 it outputs:

Exception in thread "main" javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "JSON" is not defined. (<Unknown source>#1) in <Unknown source> at line number 1
	at com.sun.script.javascript.RhinoScriptEngine.eval(RhinoScriptEngine.java:224)
	at com.sun.script.javascript.RhinoScriptEngine.eval(RhinoScriptEngine.java:240)

	at js.JSMain2.main(JSMain2.java:11)
Caused by: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "JSON" is not defined. (<Unknown source>#1)
...

From my understanding, it would be fixed with these steps:
1. rhel6 updates to rhino-1.7R4 so that it would have a
   real /usr/share/java/js.jar, that is, js.jar would not
   be a symlink to rhino.jar
2. After the above, java-1.7.0-openjdk would need to be
   rebuilt with the newer rhino, so that on rhel6
   $ jar tvf /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/jre/lib/rhino.jar | grep -i json
   would show something.

As an example, on rhel7 I see:
$ jar tvf /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar |grep -i json

JSMain2.java

Source for the js.jar. It may be useful for extra
testing, as with java-1.8.0-openjdk, the sample
test fail as:

$ java -jar js.jar

Comment 2 Deepak Bhole 2015-07-17 21:49:22 UTC 
Hi Paulo, as you noted, fixing this will require an update to rhino itself, which may have consequences for other packages.

Since this is a rebase request then, I am updating the summary a bit and changing the component.
Comment 3 Deepak Bhole 2015-07-17 21:50:35 UTC 
Re-assigning to Severin for update (after acks are granted) and to investigate the OpenJDK8 error in comment #1.
Comment 5 Andrew John Hughes 2015-07-19 22:07:09 UTC 
The OpenJDK 8 issue should probably be a separate bug; 8 doesn't use Rhino, but its own Javascript implementation called Nashorn.

Just to clarify: The fix requires rebasing rhino *and* a rebuild of java-1.7.0-openjdk (with the rebased rhino).

That's right. On my local RHEL-6 system:

$ rpm -q rhino
rhino-1.7R4-5.el6.noarch
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/java/js.jar
rhino-1.7R4-5.el6.noarch
$ jar tvf /usr/share/java/js.jar | grep -i json
  1551 Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1980 org/mozilla/javascript/NativeJSON$StringifyState.class
 14004 Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1980 org/mozilla/javascript/NativeJSON.class
     0 Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1980 org/mozilla/javascript/json/

  7209 Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1980 org/mozilla/javascript/json/JsonParser.class

Then after a java-1.7.0-openjdk rebuild with this:

$ jar tvf /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/jre/lib/rhino.jar | grep -i json

*** Bug 911278 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 26 Andrew John Hughes 2016-03-29 02:08:49 UTC 
I'd make one tiny adjustment to the docs:

"previously missing manual page and README and LICENSE files have been added"

to
