Bryan Pendleton updated DERBY-4062:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: addToInterface.diff
Attached patch adds the indicated method to the DataValueFactory interface.
The regular regression tests ran clean, except that I can't run the upgrade
tests
right now due to svn.apache.org being down.
Can anyone think of a straightforward way to write a regression test for this?
Since the DataValueFactory API is an internal class, it's hard to expose
this problem from one of the typical JDBC JUnit tests. Can one of our
JUnit tests get an instance of the DataValueFactoryImpl in a simple manner?

> I believe the problem involves o.a.d.iapi.types.DataValueFactory.
> This interface defines dozens and dozens of overloads of the method
> getDataValue(), for lots of different combinations of datatypes.
> For most of the Java "boxed" types (Short, Long, Float, Double, etc.),
> DataValueFactory defines a pair of getDataValue() methods. For example,
> here are the method pair that the interface defines for Short:
> /**
> * Get a SQL smallint with the given value. A null argument means get
> * a SQL null value. The second form uses the previous value (if
> non-null)
> * to hold the return value.
> *
> */
> NumberDataValue getDataValue(Short value);
> NumberDataValue getDataValue(Short value, NumberDataValue
> previous)
> throws
> StandardException;
> HOWEVER, for the Integer type, DataValueFactory doesn't define both overloads,
> but only defines the 'previous'-style overload:
> /**
> * Get a SQL int with the given value. A null argument means get
> * a SQL null value. Uses the previous value (if non-null)
> * to hold the return value.
> *
> */
> NumberDataValue getDataValue(Integer value, NumberDataValue
> previous)
> throws
> StandardException;
> The actual implementation, in o.a.d.iapi.types.DataValueFactoryImpl, though,
> does implement both the Integer overloads. But this method is NOT present
> in the DataValueFactory interface:
> NumberDataValue getDataValue(Integer value);
> Because this method is not present in the interface, code such as
> row.setColumn(SYSXPLAIN_RESULTSET_NO_OPENS, dvf.getDataValue(no_opens));
> which the code anticipates will invoke the above method, instead calls the
> method
> public UserDataValue getDataValue(Object value);
> which has a very different behavior (instead of returning a SQLInteger, it
> returns a UserType).
> This accidental invocation of the wrong implementation method was causing
> data corruption
> errors in regression tests for the DERBY-2487 patch, which uses the above
> setColumn call.
> Instead of inserting SQLInteger values into the system table, the code was
> inserting
> java.lang.Integer UserType values; since those values don't match the defined
> type of
> the column(s) in the system catalog, the table appeared to be corrupt.
> I believe that this problem never affects external Derby applications, but
> only internal Derby code,
> as the DataValueFactory interface is an internal interface only. Still, since
> it appeared to
> cause data corruption and invalid query results, it is potentially a quite
> serious problem.
