test lang/floattypes fails with jdk 1.3 based jvms
---------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-804
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-804
Project: Derby
Type: Bug
Versions: 10.1.2.0
Environment: failure occurs in 10.1 branch, and on main branch.
Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
Priority: Minor
For at least half a year (oldest record I could find is 6/18/05), the test
lang/floattypes has been failing with jdk131, ibm131 and j9 2.0 (wsdd5.6).
The failure seems related to a different handling of Decimal values. There are
differences between the exact behavior between these 3 jvms also.
The behavior for jdk131 is like so:
*** Start: floattypes jdk1.3.1_15 derbyall:derbylang 2005-06-19 06:07:57 ***
2492a2493,2497

Test Failed.
*** End: floattypes jdk1.3.1_15 derbyall:derbylang 2005-06-19 06:08:56 ***
Here's a more detailed overview:
(in all cases ERROR 22018 is: : Invalid character string format
for type DECIMAL
ERROR 38000 is: The exception
'java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of
range: 0' was thrown while evaluating an expression.
ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'String index out of range: 0:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException'.

------------------------------------------
All in all, I suggest we stop running this test under these jvms, until someone
is interested in resolving this some other way.
