[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-668?page=comments#action_12371270 ]
Andrew McIntyre commented on DERBY-668: --------------------------------------- I believe the goal is to run the tests with as few permissions as possible. Granting additional permissions for these tests might mask security bugs elsewhere in the code. So, I agree, I think the thing to do is add master files that include the output of the caught SecurityExceptions. Myrna had mentioned enhancing the test harness to be able to provide specific permissions to individual tests. Once that work had been completed, we could add the necessary permissions to these tests only. I thought a JIRA had been field for that, but I wasn't able to find it at the moment. > SysInfo does not print the right information when Derby is not loaded through > the classpath. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-668 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-668 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: Build tools > Versions: 10.1.1.0 > Reporter: Bryan Pendleton > Assignee: Bryan Pendleton > Priority: Critical > Attachments: Derby-668.diff, derby-668-2.diff, derby-668-3.diff, > derby-668-4.diff, sysinfo_Feb27_2006.diff, sysinfo_Feb28_2006.diff, > with_andrews_feedback.diff > > There is a section in the SysInfo tool's output titled "Derby Information", > which prints location and version information for the major Derby jars. Here > is an example of that output: > --------- Derby Information -------- > JRE - JDBC: J2SE 1.4.2 - JDBC 3.0 > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derby.jar] 10.2.0.0 > alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbytools.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbynet.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbyclient.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc.jar] 2.4 - (17) > [/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc_license_c.jar] 2.4 - (17) > Unfortunately, this tool can be fooled if you arrange for one of these jar > files to be loaded from a magic location like $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext. > For example, I had (accidentally) placed an old version of db2jcc.jar into > $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext. When I ran SysInfo, it printed out: > --------- Derby Information -------- > JRE - JDBC: J2SE 1.4.2 - JDBC 3.0 > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derby.jar] 10.2.0.0 > alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbytools.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbynet.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbyclient.jar] > 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) > [/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc.jar] 1.0 - (581) > [/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc_license_c.jar] 1.0 - (581) > However, the "1.0 (581)" information actually came from > $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/db2jcc.jar, NOT from > /home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc.jar. > It would be nice if SysInfo could detect the difference between a jar file > being loaded via the application class loader using $CLASSPATH, and a jar > file being loaded via the system class loader using JDK library extensions. > To reproduce the problem, simply: > 1) Place an older version of db2jcc.jar into $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext > 2) Place a newer version of db2jcc.jar into your $CLASSPATH > 3) Run SysInfo. You will see that it prints the name of the jarfile from > $CLASSPATH, but the version info from the JDK copy. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
