I agree, this testcase demonstrates bugs in RI and J9 (btw, why did
you call an uncaugth exception the "crash" ?).
And I see nothing really strange in the behavoir of DRLVM, checking of
SecurityPermission getProperty.package.access is not mandated by the
API specification thus its result can (and should) be discarded.

2007/1/10, Mikhail Markov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi!

While investigating https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2955 JIRA
i've found an interesting thing:
The testcase below produces different result for 3 VMs (below as well) and
all 3 are rather weird:
RI:
 - need access to some security properties when calling
System.setSecurityManager for the first time - seems violation of the spec
to me.
 - but if uncomment the line #5 (and thus some static initializers will be
done) then the output is just "Security manager was successfully set."

DRLVM:
 - checking java.security.SecurityPermission getProperty.package.access and
althought it's not granted - successfully sets security manager (probably by
catching exception inside VM kernel classes)

IBM VME:
 - checking the same java.security.SecurityPermission
getProperty.package.access and crashes as it's not granted

From these 3 results DRLVM seems to me the closest to what is expected.

I'm not sure what kinds of JIRAs should be open in this case:
I could suggest opening at least 2 JIRAs:
1) "non-bug diff" as this code should silently work
2) against IBM VME - as it crashes while checking additional properties
Not sure what to do with DRLVM as it's behaviour generally correct.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Mikhail
