Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-479: --------------------------------------- I spent some time on this bug and was able to reproduce it without casting and multiple functions. The following simpler test case will run into similar linkage error as the one reported in the bug CREATE FUNCTION RN_abs(A int) RETURNS int EXTERNAL NAME 'java.lang.Math.abs(int)' RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT LANGUAGE JAVA PARAMETER STYLE JAVA; VALUES ( RN_abS(RN_abs(90))); The function is defined such that if the argument to it is null, it should simply return null w/o invoking the function. But, in order to return null, the function's return type can't be primitive (it is int in this example). To get around this, the generator generates the output of the RN_abs function as java.lang.Integer. But since in the given example, (RN_abs(90)) is input to another function which is expecting to get a primitive data type of int, and not java.lang.Integer, Derby raises an error for type mismatch because (RN_abs(90)) is going to return java.lang.Integer and not int. I will continue to look into this, but does this explanation trigger a thought process in anyone's mind? > Passing the return of a RETURN NULL ON NULL INPUT function to another > function call throws linkage error. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-479 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-479 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > > Error in ij (RN_RADIANS is a function declared as returns null on null input) > ij> VALUES CAST( CALL_COS(RN_RADIANS(90.0)) AS DECIMAL(3,2)); > ERROR XBCM1: Java linkage error thrown during load of generated class > org.apache.derby.exe.ace5214067x0105x5e41x7a46xffff855452e375. > ERROR XJ001: Java exception: '(class: > org/apache/derby/exe/ace5214067x0105x5e41x > 7a46xffff855452e375, method: e0 signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object;) Expecting to > find double on stack: java.lang.VerifyError'. > extract from derby.log > 2005-07-28 16:23:43.836 GMT Thread[main,5,main] Wrote class > org.apache.derby.exe > .ace5214067x0105x5e41x7a46xffff855452e375 to file > C:\_work\svn_pb\trunk\systest\ > out\functions\ace5214067x0105x5e41x7a46xffff855452e375.class.
