Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-3547:
--------------------------------------
Attaching derby-3547-04-aa-canonicalizeFileNamesOnWindows.diff. This patch adds
another permission to one of the policy files for
SystemPrivilegesPermissionTest so that the engine can canonicalize file names
on Windows.
Tests succeeded on my Mac with both the classpath and modulepath.
Touches the following file:
{noformat}
M
java/org.apache.derby.engine/org/apache/derby/security/securityPolicies.xml
Grant the engine jar another permission so that file names can be
canonicalized on Windows.
{noformat}

> With the number of current test policy files it is becoming a pain to
> remember to modify all of them when needed to add a new permission.
> In addition with JMX, SystemPermission (and DatabasePermission) support,
> testing of fine-grained permissions will become unmanagable if a new policy
> file is needed for every combination.
> I suggest a java utility that can be used in a test decorator to create a set
> of permissions that can then be modified before creating a real policy file
> and pointing the security manager to it. I imagine an api like:
> TestPolicy() - constructor creates a set of permissions that corresponds to
> the current derby_tests.policy (or similar)
> The object supports a number of code bases, corresponding to the current
> jars, e.g.
> derby, derbynet, derbytools,derbyclient,ant,emma, junit,
> removeCodebase(String code) - remove all the permissions for a given code
> base. Allows specific testing, e.g. with just client tests don't have
> permissions for any other jars.
> removePermission(String code, Permission permission) - remove a single
> permission from a code base - allows negative testing, what happens if this
> permission is not available.
> addPermission(String code, Permission permission) - add a permission into the
> code base
> writePolicyFile(PrintStream out) - write the policy file out
> This would also stop the need for derby_tests.policy to have a jar and
> classes section with duplicated information, TestPolicy would just create the
> grant code blocks with the correct code location.
> TestPolicy could obviously be expanded as new needs appear, eg. Principal
> testing.
