upgrade problems

[David Matthews]

I use jericho in the jwma project

this worked fine with version 3.3:-

                st = p.getContent().toString();
                //st is a String, now containing a text/html email Part
                Source source = new Source(st);
                //the extracted plain text is rendered onto a web page
                body.append(source.getRenderer().toString().replaceAll("\n", "<br>"));

but breaks by upgrading to 3.4; difficult to understand what's wrong as the web framework (stripes) swallows the servlet exception.

Any suggestion?

further investigation, basically the same code isolated in a simple test:-

import net.htmlparser.jericho.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String st = "<h1>title</h1><p>blah blah blah"</p>;
        Source source = new Source(st); 
        System.out.println(source.getRenderer().toString());
    }
 }

This works as expected with both version 3.3 and 3.4!

so it seems there is some weird problem between jericho-html and the stripes framework, which throws a servlet exception with version 3.4, on code that works fine with 3.3.

It would be nice to explain (and fix) this, but I'm guessing I should just stick with 3.3

Ah! - I move my custom exception handler out of the way and see:-

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/htmlparser/jericho/Source : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 (unable to load class net.htmlparser.jericho.Source)

problem being I'm still on java 1.6

You can create a java 1.6 compatible jar easily by changing the target argument in the build.bat file.
