Kristian Waagan updated DERBY-5631:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: derby-5631-1d-merge_policy_files-fix.diff
Auch, my last commit broke all tests using no security policy (<NONE>). Mental
note: run tests properly - run all tests and preferably with the correct patch
applied...
Committed patch 1d to trunk with revision 1295507.
Sorry for the noise.
> Extend SecurityManagerSetup to add extra privileges to the set of default

> When moving ProtocolTest into suites all (see DERBY-2031), I needed to allow
> the test code to create a socket. There was already a policy file for the old
> harness for doing this, but when using this with the JUnit framework I ended
> up adding privilege after privilege to get the framework itself running.
> Instead of creating a large policy file duplicating all the privileges that
> the framework requires to function properly, I think it would be better to
> make the SecurityManagerSetup capable of merging the test specific policy
> file with the default policy file.
> This mode of operation can be used when you need a few extra privileges to
> execute the test, but there are probably also tests where you want full
> control of the privileges - in which case you use the existing mode of
> operation.
> I'm not 100% sure this approach will always work, but basic testing has shown
> promising results.
