Hi Leo,
Yes the patch may be out of date - I think it was about 6 months ago when I
was looking at Derby. I used the latest stable release at the time but I
imagine it will have moved on a lot since then. Which version are you using
now?
I'm afraid I haven't seen those problems with the security manager, but I
imagine if the tests haven't been designed to run with it on then there
could be problems on any VM. Do you think there's another workaround you
could do without switching the security manager on?
Just a minor side point - I'm not 100% sure about this but I don't think
these kinds of activities should be referred to as self-hosting. I think
self-hosting would be doing something like using Harmony to build
itself. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
Regards,
Sian

Hi, Sian:
Thank you for your patch. It really works. But seems a little
outdated.:)
I found another work around with useprocess=true , but ... after a lot
of trouble: If the useprocess is on, security manager is installed by
default, or else it is not. So, when to get command, it should be
"java"; when avoid to install security manager, it should be"j9" and the
complicated logic of the testcase as well.:(
Do you know why the suites will run without security manager installed
if the vm is spotted as j9 in the untact version from derby? Does the
derby_test.policy really mean something, from the goal of the derby
tests?Actually, I have manually forced the testcase not to set security
manager when useprocess = true, the tests fails even on RI.
I have tried to treat the current IBM VM as normal jdk and with -
Djava.security.manager, but it will report error in loading the class of
JarFile. Have you ever met this?:)
