A B closed DERBY-563:
---------------------


Thanks for committing, Andrew.  I verified that the XML tests/suites work after 
the patch was committed, so I am closing this issue.  

NOTE: depending on the version of JVM that people are using, attempts to run 
these XML tests could potentially fail with a "java.lang.IllegalAccessError" or 
the message "Could not load the property file 'output_xml.properties".  This is 
_not_ a problem with Derby nor with the XML tests; rather, it is a known issue 
for some JDK releases.  For more, see:

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

> 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...
