add mechanism for specifying policy file for individual function tests
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-892
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-892
Project: Derby
Type: Bug
Versions: 10.2.0.0
Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to be able to specify a test-specific policy file.
This should get handled similar to existing properties, i.e. get specified in a
test_app.properties file (or, for a suite, in the suite.properties file). The
file should then be copied into the correct place.
Note, that the 'old' functionTests harness (as opposed to junit tests) includes
a check for a property called 'serverPolicyFile' (in harness/jvm.java). The
name is a left over from when the policy file was only used for/by network
server, and should be renamed - derbyTestPolicyFile, for instance. It is not
used anywhere at present, and not specific to network server. It would be nice
if this could be expanded, or, if not used, removed.
The default policy file used is the derby_tests.policy file under
functionTests/util.
Also, currently, the property can only be used with RunTest - for further
traction, it should probably get passed on through RunSuite/RunList.
Once confirmed to be working, the property should get documented in
<trunk>/java/testing/README.htm.
