Today, issue 15706 was filed because of an English error message being
generated when multibyte character is used in an instance name.
http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-15706
While looking into this, I was wondering why such an instance name was
even allowed since instance names are only supposed to contain letters,
numbers and some special characters. As it turns out, the regular
expression that is used for validating the name uses "\p{L}" for
letters, which means any Unicode character that is a letter, not just
ASCII letters. In my test, I was able to create an instance with a
multibyte character, but then I couldn't start it or delete it from the
console because I get an IllegalArgumentException from the REST
interface (see the bug report for details).
So my question is this - do we really support creation of instances with
multibyte characters in their names?
If no, then we need to change the regex that is used to validate the name.
If yes, then we might have lots of bug fixing to do to get this to work
end-to-end.
Does anybody know what 2.1 supports here?
