---------------------------------
Summary: JDK7 u51 and later causes tests to fail
Key: RIVER-438
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-438
Project: River
Issue Type: Bug
Components: qa
Affects Versions: River_2.2.2
Environment: JDK7 u51 and/or OpenJDK 7
Reporter: Greg Trasuk
In JDK7u51, the default permissions changed. Prior to this update, a Java
program was allowed to set up a listener on any port >1024. After the update,
the security policy file needs to include a specific permission
(SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen") in order to set up a listener
outside the ephemeral port range (which varies by OS, but is usually much
higher). This affects the codebase server in a River scenario. In particular,
the qa package fails most tests (actually fails to start most tests). To fix,
the required SocketPermission must be added to the test-specific policy files
used by the qa harness.
