            Bug ID: 56372
           Summary: Which API is referenced in comment above public
                    Iterator getFeatureDescriptors in
                    javax.el.ResourceBundleELResolver
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: christian.ska...@met.no

javax.el.ELResolver changed method signature for getFeatureDescriptors in svn
r426537, but javax.el.ResourceBundleELResolver was not updated accordingly.
ResourceBundleELResolver extends ELResolver and does not implement any other
interfaces as far as I can read from the source file.

$ svn log -c 426537

Change in javax.el.ELResolver svn r426537, see:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/javax/el/ELResolver.java?r1=423920&r2=426537&pathrev=884913&diff_format=h

See signature for getFeatureDescriptors in abstract class on line 65:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/javax/el/ELResolver.java?revision=426537&view=markup&pathrev=884913#l65

See signature for getFeatureDescriptors in subclass on line 97:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/javax/el/ResourceBundleELResolver.java?revision=426537&view=markup&pathrev=884913#l97





In svn r884913 a comment appeared above getFeatureDescriptors that says "Can't
use Iterator<FeatureDescriptor> because API needs to match specification":
$ svn log -r 884913

Change in javax.el.ResourceBundleELResolver in svn r884913, see:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/javax/el/ResourceBundleELResolver.java?r1=832955&r2=884913&pathrev=884913&diff_format=h



The latter comment is still present in trunk for tomcat7. I am curious which
API spesification that we try to satisfy in javax.el.ResourceBundleELResolver
as it is different from the implementation in the parent class
javax.el.ELResolver. Could we either update the comment with an url to the API
or some other hint about which API we would break if we return
Iterator<FeatureDescriptor> instead of Iterator, or simply remove the comment
and align the signature with that in the parent class?
