[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1785?page=comments#action_12440184 ] Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-1785: -------------------------------------------
I'm assigning this to me because I keep forgetting the number. If someone else feels interest, be welcome to take it away. In the mean time, I have tried to find out what is wrong with this and I've been unsuccessful so far. In DERBY-855 Dan stated that he had found a problem with the security manager and had reported this to IBM. I checked on the status of that problem; it is fixed in the follow-up release of wctme5.7_foundation (called weme6.1, which is based on jdkj2ME specification 1.1). I tested with that product and indeed the problem Dan saw has been fixed... However, I still see the access permission problems with junit with that version. I will continue to investigate. I think this is an important detail - we have said we're supporting JSR169, yet it appears the only check we have are our test runs with "j9" foundation. If someone else is running JSR169 tests, I hope they'll announce it. The problem needs to be better identified, and possibly a fix needs to be arranged. As a workaround there are 2 approaches: - ignore the failing tests. This basically means skipping every junit test. We can do this for each test as it gets morphed into a junit test, which means a ridiculous maintenance task, or in the test harness. But this would hollow out the testing for JSR169 support. - make the junit tests not run with security manager if the jvm is j9. This seems fairly ugly (third option I thought maybe a separate policy file could be made, but judging from the error, it isn't having the permissions to read the policy file, so I'm not sure that will work.) > junit tests fail with permission access problems when run with j9 jvms > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1785 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1785 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Test > Components: Test, Regression Test Failure > Affects Versions: 10.2.1.6, 10.3.0.0 > Environment: using ibm's j9 jvm as available with wssd5.6 or wctme5.7 > (jcl:Max or jcl:foundation configuration) > Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren > Assigned To: Myrna van Lunteren > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 10.2.2.0, 10.3.0.0 > > > The junit tests have been made to run with security manager. > Until now, using the org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness classes, > there was exception logic that stopped the j9 jvms from running with security > manager, but that's now changed for the junit tests. > For instance, the test store/bootAllTest.junit fails with the following error: > There was 1 error: > 1) > testSettingBootAllPropertyWithHomePropertySet(org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.store.BootAllTest)java.security.AccessControlException: > Access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission framework read) > at > java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:74) > at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:612) > at > java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(SecurityManager.java:366) > at java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:319) > at java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:301) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestUtil$1.run(TestUtil.java:177) > at > java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:147) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestUtil.getFramework(TestUtil.java:174) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestUtil.getDataSourcePrefix(TestUtil.java:391) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestUtil.getSimpleDataSource(TestUtil.java:330) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestUtil.getDataSource(TestUtil.java:324) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.util.TestDataSourceFactory.getDataSource(TestDataSourceFactory.java:47) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.TestConfiguration.openConnection(TestConfiguration.java:296) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.BaseJDBCTestCase.openConnection(BaseJDBCTestCase.java:197) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.store.BootAllTest.setUp(BootAllTest.java:58) > at > org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.BaseTestCase.runBare(BaseTestCase.java:76) -- 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
