Kristian Waagan updated DERBY-5631:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: derby-5631-1e-merge_policy_files-fix-url.diff
Attaching patch 1e, which committed already on Thursday.
It deals with more variations of denoting a policy resource, i.e. how to get
from String to URL.
Committed to trunk with revision 1295609.
Hopefully the last commit on this issue. The new functionality will be run as
part of suites.All when DERBY-2031 goes in.
> Extend SecurityManagerSetup to add extra privileges to the set of default
> privileges (merge two policy files)

> 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.
