Create an XML test suite in the Derby harness to allow testing of the basic XML
datatype and related operators.

Key: DERBY-563
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-563
Project: Derby
Type: Improvement
Components: Test
Versions: 10.2.0.0
Reporter: A B
Assigned to: A B
Fix For: 10.2.0.0
Back with DERBY-334 some experimental XML support was added to Derby, including
an XML datatype and three corresponding operators (see that issue for more
details). Two tests (lang/xml_general.sql and lang/xmlBinding.java) were
included in that patch but were "disabled" because current XML support requires
Apache Xerces to be in classpath and I didn't want to force people to download
Xerces in order to get a clean run of "derbyall".
That said, I think an XML suite should be created to include the two tests
mentioned above for now, and as Derby's support for XML grows in the future,
that suite can hold additional tests.
Also, I tried running the tests with Xerces in my classpath and they both
failed--it turns out that entries for the tests are missing from the
.../functionTests/tests/lang/copyfiles.ant file. So that problem should be
fixed as part of this issue, as well.
NOTE: This issue involves creating a suite to run the existing tests while
assuming that the person running the tests has Xerces in his/her classpath.
Another improvement, for which I will file a different Jira issue, would be to
change Derby so that it can somehow find the XML parser that comes with the
user's JVM (current XML support requires at least a 1.4 JVM), in which case no
additional XML parser would be required. More coming on that in a separate
Jira issue...
