I thought I'd change the subject because of something I brought up at the end of this message. Take a look, I think it's something worth discovering, and potentially bringing up for a vote.

Thanks for catching this, Kristian. As I go through messages on the client, I try to find a matching message that already exists for the embedded code. I have not tried to actually look at the "same" code on the embedded side, as it's really hard to tell what the "same" code is, and where it is.

I think the message "Invalid transaction state" is very vague, and in this way is very general and reusable. I have heard Dan state that general and reusable is better than specific and not reusable. I am personally having trouble knowing how to best balance a comprehensible message with one that is too specific.

In this case, however, I think "Invalid transaction state" is so vague as to be pretty much unhelpful. I would vote that we migrate CANNOT_CLOSE_ACTIVE_XA_CONNECTION from a client-specific message in client/.../loc/clientmessages_en.properties to a reusable message in engine/.../loc/messages_en.properties.

I also think that the standard SQL State of 25000 is incorrectly used, here. This isn't an invalid transaction state. It's an attempt to close a connection with an open transaction. If anything it *might* be a connection exception (08000), but I actually think it doesn't apply to either of these, and probably the SQL State, once you migrate it, should start with "XJ" - JDBC exceptions.

I am also realizing that we as a community need to decide if we want to ensure that the network client and the engine should always have the same SQL States for the same exceptions. It's laudable, and if we catch differences I think we should fix them, but I am not sure if it should be *required*, especially for existing code. It is *very* hard to reliably backport this consistency into existing code, as the code paths on the two drivers are quite different. If anyone has any ideas about this, it would be much appreciated.

P.S. I'll start running the jdbc40 test suite as well as derbyall prior to checkin of i18n changes.

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

I need a little help on my issue. The following diff is from r388309:

--- /db/derby/code/trunk/java/client/org/apache/derby/client/am/Connection.java 2006/03/24 00:54:27 388308 +++ db/derby/code/trunk/java/client/org/apache/derby/client/am/Connection.java 2006/03/24 00:55:44 388309
[snip]
// The following precondition matches CLI semantics, see SQLDisconnect()
         if (!autoCommit_ && inUnitOfWork_ && !allowCloseInUOW_()) {
             throw new SqlException(agent_.logWriter_,
- "java.sql.Connection.close() requested while a transaction is in progress on the connection." + - "The transaction remains active, and the connection cannot be closed."); + new MessageId (SQLState.CANNOT_CLOSE_ACTIVE_XA_CONNECTION)); }
[snip]

Is this change correct?
In my test, the SQLState used on the embedded side is
LANG_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE (25000):
# Transaction states, matches DB2
25000=Invalid transaction state.

The way I see it, without much knowledge about this, there are multiple
possible outcomes:
1) The change is invalid, and we start using
SQLSTATE.LANG_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE on the client as well.
2) The change is correct, and I change the test to reflect this.
3) The change is invalid, and we make SQLSTATE.LANG_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE more verbose (aka the old message on the client) and start using it on the
client and update the message text for embedded.

What do you say?



'jdbc40/StatementTest.junit' fails under DerbyNetClient
-------------------------------------------------------

        Key: DERBY-1149
        URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1149
    Project: Derby
       Type: Test
 Components: Regression Test Failure, Test
   Versions: 10.2.0.0
Environment: JDK 1.6 (b76 used, believed to apply to all)
   Reporter: Kristian Waagan

One of the tests in jdbc40/StatementTest.junit fails with the following message:

There was 1 failure:

Test Failed.
*** End: StatementTest jdk1.6.0-beta2 DerbyNetClient 2006-03-24 12:53:22 ***" The reason is that the exception message text has been changed. This comparison is only done when running DerbyNetClient, because SQLState was not implemented there.
The checkin that caused the error:

Log:
DERBY-839 (Partial).  Internationalize Connection.java.  Also upgraded
the "i18n lint" test to be a little more intelligent, and to not exit
on the first failure.
Passes derbynetclientmats.  All changes are client-specific so derbyall
was not run."
