unit/T_RawStoreFactory.unit fails with an assert failure in J2ME/CDC/FP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-654
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-654
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug
  Components: Store  
    Versions: 10.2.0.0    
 Environment: IBM WCTME5.7 j9 foundation VM 
    Reporter: Deepa Remesh
    Priority: Minor


I am thinking this is a bug and opening a JIRA issue since I did not get any 
response to my question in derby-dev. One more thing I noticed is this test 
passes in 10.1 branch.  It is failing only in trunk.

The test unit/T_RawStoreFactory.unit fails with an assert failure in CDC/FP. 
This failure looks like an intermittent one though it is failing all the time 
now. I have run this test successfully some time back. I would like to find out 
if this is a bug (Derby or jvm) or just an intermittent failure. I am using j9 
foundation  from IBM WCTME5.7.

diff for the test:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 < -- Unit Test T_RawStoreFactory finished
 2 add
 > There should be 0 observers, but we still have 1 observers.
> Shutting down due to unit test failure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

On looking at the code, I did not understand how this assert failure can 
happen. The assert is thrown in following code in TruncateOnCommit: 
public void update(Observable obj, Object arg) {
       if (SanityManager.DEBUG) {
               if (arg == null)
               SanityManager.THROWASSERT("still on observer list " + this);
       }

I am puzzled by how 'arg' can become null in this case. As I understand, 
'update' method of each Observer gets called by the notifyObserver method in 
java.util.Observable class. notifyObserver passes 'arg', which describes the 
type of change, as the second argument to update. In this code path, 'arg' 
passed to notifyObserver is RawTransaction.COMMIT (which is not null).  However 
the code has an assert to check for null value which means there is some 
situation where the 'arg' can become null.  I have not understood what causes 
this situation but it is always being hit when running in this environment.
