Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-1275: ---------------------------------------------- Patch looks cleaner - thanks. Some minor issue, could be addressed after commit: - traceDirectory = "." + File.separator + "TraceDir" + File.separator; I don't think use of '.' for the current directory is portable, I think you can simply use "TraceDir" here. - ClientSideSystemPropertiesTest private static String traceDirectory; Use of static fields in a JUnit test is not a good practice. Since the decorator will set the system property, you could just fetch the value of the system property when you need it. BaseTestCase has a utility method to do that. - In the client code the two identical anonymous inner classes could be combined into one to reduce footprint by having a private method in ClientBaseDataSource that gets the system property passed into it. - You added a method to TestConfiguration - systemPropertiesSetupDecorator. I guess I didn't understand what value this adds. The decorators that are returned from static methods in TestConfiguration are ones that modify the configuration, but where a decorator can be used directly it is left as, which I think maps to the typical use of decorators in Junit. I think maybe the TestConfiguration class has already come too intertwined with decorators and it might be better to have a Decorator class that just had static methods. This would at least gather them in a single class so that they could be easily discovered. I think a Decorator class would be a good place for the method you added. > Provide a way to enable client tracing without changing the application > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1275 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1275 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Network Client > Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1, 10.2.1.6 > Reporter: Kathey Marsden > Assigned To: Mamta A.
