[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-538?page=comments#action_12456267 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-538: ---------------------------------------------
Java bug 4950148 means that the closing of the jar file opened by URClassLoader is delayed until that object's GC, which can cause issues for tests which try to cleanup after a database shutdown. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4950148 Seem to hit this bug if I use this class loader, also seen in DatabaseClassLoadingTest for the testDatabaseInClasspath() which uses URLClassLoader. Once the test is complete and the database shutdown, the jar file cannot be removed from the file system on windows. Need to inviestigate more as to what is going on. > Investigate using the standard java.net.URLClassLoader for database class > loading. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-538 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-538 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Services > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Assigned To: Daniel John Debrunner > > Would change the fix for DERBY-537) so that's why it is a sub-task. > Use of the standard class loader would reduce security concerns and allow > jars stored in the database to take advantage of standard features such as > package sealing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
