Suresh Thalamati commented on DERBY-1373:
-----------------------------------------

I reviewed the patch , it looks good.  Thanks for adding  the test to test  the 
encryption with jar and classpath protocols.   While reviewing the test I  
noticed  it  is not running under  security manager. 

+# Test fails with security manager because it uses some functions in 
+# org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/lang/dbjarUtil.java for
+# creating archive and these methods do not use a privileged block
+# to read the properties etc.  
+noSecurityManager=true

It would be good if  this test can run under the security manager.   I also 
thing some methods in the dbjarUtil.java would require privilegded blocks 
because the methods in them are called indirectly through the java procedures 
using the derby  engine.    I think recently  some one  addded  framework  that 
allows to specify test specific permissions., incase if this test  needs any 
special permissions.  if  you don't have time to address  this issue now, could 
you please file a JIRA entry.

I am running  derbyall ,  so far i have not seen any failures .  I  will commit 
the patch,  if  all the tests pass. 
  
Thanks

> An encrypted database cannot be booted when using the jar subprotocol.
> The problem lies in the method run from JCECipherFactory. The call to 
> getRandomAccessFile returns null when the verifyKeyFile is an instance of 
> InputStreamFile and the key verification therefore fails.
> The implementation of getRandomAccessFile for InputStreamFile states that its 
> code cannot be reached which is untrue.
> The provided patch does two things, it provides a new class 
> InputStreamRandomAccessFile in package org.apache.derby.impl.io. This class 
> provides simple implementations of readInt and readFully so the key 
> verification process succeeds. A quick scan of the derby source tree showed 
> no problem or possible impact of this simple implementation.
> The second thing the patch does is to modify 
> org/apache/derby/impl/io/InputStreamFile.java so the getRandomAccessFile 
> creates an instance of InputStreamRandomAccessFile instead of returning null.
> This patch has been tested against trunk 410361. It solves the problem at 
> least under the jar subprotocol.
> The patch has not been tested against http/https/classpath.
