--------------------------------------
Summary: Network Server COMMAND_TESTCONNECTION need not try to
open a database
Key: DERBY-6986
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6986
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Network Server
Affects Versions: 10.14.1.0
Reporter: Bryan Pendleton
Assignee: Bryan Pendleton
The Network Server has a special protocol which can be used to send it commands
(e.g., "stop", "ping", "sysinfo", etc.). The "ping" command, which internally
is known in the code as COMMAND_TESTCONNECTION, allows a custom client program
to request that the Network Server attempt to open a Derby database specified
as an argument in the COMMAND_TESTCONNECTION packet.
This is very old code, probably included during the initial development of the
Network Server as a development-time diagnostic tool, and is not required for
any current Network Server functionality, so it should be removed.
