Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-1114: ---------------------------------------- I can still reproduce the problem even with your changes to remove the switchable streams. So that's one piece of evidence that appears to rule out the switchable streams as the cause. Also, I tried another experiment. I modified the definition of SwitchablePrintStream in dataSourcePermissions_net.java so that it overrode the close() method, and I gave the overridden method an empty body (that is, I didn't call super.close()) on the theory that this would show whether somebody was calling the close method on the streams unexpectedly. But I was still able to reproduce the problem even with SwitchablePrintStream.close() doing nothing. So, the good news is that I can still reproduce the failure, and I seem to be ruling things out. The bad news is that I'm a little short of theories as to what's going wrong. I like Sunitha's theory that we're somehow closing the standard output stream prematurely; I'm just not sure how to write code that tests that theory. > derbynet/testSecMec.java fails intermittently and test exits mysteriously > when server is shutdown as part of the testrun. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1114 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1114 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: Network Server, Test > Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Environment: Java Version: 1.4.2_06 > Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. > Java home: /usr/local/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre > OS name: Linux > OS architecture: i386 > OS version: 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp > Reporter: Sunitha Kambhampati > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Derby1114.diff.txt > > The test derbynet/testSecMec.java fails intermittently in a strange way that > the test actually exits before finishing the full test. > This issue was noticed by Bryan when he ran derbyall with the derby-1080 fix. > Some discussion and analysis that has been done is in Derby-1080.
