------------------------------------------
Hi Dag,
sorry for not being clear enough, (obviously, the pun on "implies" did not
work).
I am looking at the official javadoc you cited, but as i said: "it implies,
that...", not "it states that, .."
the apidoc for
boolean CodeSource.implies(CodeSource)
says: "Note that if this CodeSource has a null location..."
Furthermore, looking into the source of java.security.CodeSource or
java.lang.ClassLoader
reveals a couple of locations where location is checked if it is null.

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 10.6.2.1

> Reporter: Michael Dobrovnik
> Assignee: Dag H. Wanvik

> Hi,
> For our workflow-system, we can use a variety of DBMS as the store engine.
> Derby is one of them especially popular
> for test and development purposes. During setup of our system, we allow to
> upload a jar file with the JDBC-Driver for the DBMS.
> In case of derby, we use the embedded mode and upload derby.jar. After that
> we add the jar to the repositories of our class loader
> and call
> Class drc = Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver", true,
> ourclassloader);
> Driver drv = (Driver)drc.newInstance();
> this worked perfectly for many years up to version 10.6.1.0, but ceased to
> work in 10.6.2.1;
> i assume the unreleased future versions are affected, too
> when derby.jar is placed in the classpath manually before starting our setup,
> everything works fine regardless of the derby version.
> investigations lead to the following conclusion:
> - since rev. 982370 this is broken, in the immediate predecessor rev. 980035
> it worked.
> - rev. 982370 in the
> org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.data.BaseDataFileFactory class introduced a
> new method
> private static String jarClassPath(final Class cls) which tries to find
> the jarfile from which derby was loaded.
> it contains the following lines:
> if ( cs == null )
> return null;
> URL result = cs.getLocation();
> return result.toString();
> but in the case, when we dynamically load derby,
> cs is not null but cs.getLocation() is null. so i propose to change the
> line with the if to:
> ...
> if ( cs == null || cs.getLocation()==null)
> return null;
> ...
> or maybe it would be better to surround the whole body of the method with a
> try catch, since it is not essential, and a null
> return value is also ok?
> thank you for your efforts concerning derby at large,
> Michael
