STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
public static void main (String[] args)
{
	try
	{
		Locale.setDefault(Locale.CANADA);
		new CachedRowSetImpl();
	}

	{
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}
if you set the Locale to Locale.US, it works. just fine.

N/A

The fix is available to be integrated, have asked Alexey to verify the rowset.jar with the JCK test codebase.
Accordingly this binary will be promoted and fix available to integrate in JDK5.0uX release

There is a beter workaround then set the locale explicitely to US.
Add in the rowset.jar a RowSetResourceBundle_XX.properties with XX being your locale (copy the file from the available RowSetResourceBundle.properties)
