Make it possible to directly set a UserAuthenticator instance on the
NetworkServerControl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-5397
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5397
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Network Server
Reporter: Trejkaz
We are using NetworkServerControl to embed the Derby server. We would like to
use our own user authenticator for this. Currently, this requires setting a
system property and Derby creates a brand new instance every time it needs to
call it.
This wreaks havoc with our development philosophy because we would like to unit
test our stuff, but Derby is constructing an instance directly instead of
letting us pass a mock authenticator.
The workaround we are using is:
* Set the real authenticator as a static field somewhere and provide
register()/deregister()/lookup() access methods
* Make a DelegatingUserAuthenticator which calls lookup() on the real thing and
then delegates the call to it
