Hi all,
Can anyone offer me some help?
Whilst trying to port the tests into the main source directory I find
that the whatever-it-is is not loading the necessary policy and
permissions that the tests need. This means that in order to progress
I've had to introduce a very nasty hack whereby all policy checking is
short circuited and everything is allowed. I'm at the stage now where I
want to go back and remove that hack and replace it with the appropriate
mechanism, but I just don't seem to be able to find it.
In short my question is; does anyone know what the "whatever-it-is" is
that loads the policy and permissions when running the tests? I've been
stepping and sys-outing through the code and the some of the things I've
managed to find are;
- dynamic-policy.properties
- net.jini.security.policy.DynamicPolicyProvider
- com.sun.jini.qa.harness.MergedPolicyProvider
The above properties file seems to get read but the two classes don't
seem to be executed at all. I've been looking in the unmodified code
also and haven't been able to work out how it works there either.
I've also found AbstractServiceAdmin.getServicePolicyFile() which does
get called and does managed to find the right policy file, but I can't
find out where the policy file it finds gets used. However, I'm
thinking that there must be some additional permissions set in other
places, for example, the following needs to be set;
PropertyPermission "user.dir" "read,write"
As well as a huge number of others, which are presumably default ones
which I only know about because of my proliferation of sysouts. And I
can't find out where these are getting set.
Can anyone offer me some pointers or reference to a document that I've
missed somewhere please?
Thanks.
Tom
NB: This is the hack in TestBase.setup(QAConfig config);
System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager() {
public void checkPropertyAccess(String prop) {}
public void checkPermission(Permission p) {}
});
Now you can see why I'm so eager to remove it.
