Kelvin Goodson commented on TUSCANY-829:
----------------------------------------

It would appear that the apache infrastructure issues that are happening at the 
moment means that the subversion commits I have been making in for this Jira 
are not being recorded against the JIRA.  The key commit is recorded here ... 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=469239  and I posted to the 
tuscany-dev mailing list describing my findings,  but again the mailing list 
archive has not picked up that posting.  I copy it here for reference,  but the 
discussion should continue on the mailing list.

I added the tests that were attached to TUSCANY-829 to my sandbox and made some 
changes,  see
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=469239

The exercise has turned up issues in a number of areas; Tuscany specific,  
interoperability,  ...

Looking at DataObjectListTest, one specific thing I'd like to understand is 
what was intended in the method createTestObjectTypes().  What it seemed to be 
doing is creating a very open model by setting the type of the product2 
property to commonj.sdo.DataObject,  i.e. a mixed, sequenced, open type that 
can hold pretty much anything,  whereas what I think was intended was that this 
property should be of type newType2 (i.e. the type with name "product2").  
Frank began looking at this with the view that what was intended was the former 
arrangement,  and the failures we were getting has highlit an issue with 
Tuscany that we don't create global properties to accompany type definitions 
created with TypeHelper.define(),  and we think we probably should,  so I have 
opened TUSCANY-887 to cover this.  This was a useful catch, but then I have 
taken the view that what was intended was that the type of the product2 
property should have been product2, and so I have changed the type creation 
method,  and I have altered the test to fit this,  can you please take a look 
to see if I am right.  You can see the diff at ....
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/tuscany/sandbox/kgoodson/roguewave-tests/src/test/java/com/roguewave/rwsf/sdo/DataObjectListTest.java?r1=469239&r2=469238&pathrev=469239

We have one remaining test failure in this test case which is the testSubList() 
test,  which I think may have revealed another Tuscany issue,  but I haven't 
dug into that yet.

I have altered the TestHelper to give implementations that I think will work 
when used by the XMLDataObjectTest but I haven't got close to running that one 
yet.   All the XMLDocumentTestCase tests currently fail because of the setUp 
method,  which requires access to the test data,  so if you could attach that 
data to TUSCANY-829 that would be great, thanks.

I've commented out some test cases that I didn't immediately know what to do 
with,  and added TODO flags to remind me to deal with those. 
In some places the assertions are for RogueWave specific implementation details 
such as

    // ensure we default to caching on
     assertEquals(((XMLDocumentImpl)doc).getOption("xpath-caching"), "true");
     assertEquals(3, docImpl.getXPathCacheSize());


As to the more general points that can be gleaned from this exercise, this is 
what I have so far ....

My guess is that with the improvements in the 2.1 spec we can begin to move 
much of the function that is found in TestHelper back out to the tests 
themselves,  or at least code them as support methods in terms of the SDO 2.1 
API.  I have some half baked ideas about how in general to abstract away any 
required implementation specific behaviour,  but not sufficiently well formed 
to be aired just yet.

We have recently tried to remove as many references to the INSTANCE fields in 
our Tuscany tests as possible,  because they can cause cross test interference. 
 Maven builds an uber-test from all the * TestCase.java files,  and runs that 
test as a single process,  so alterations to the state of say 
TypeHelper.INSTANCE in one test class can influence the execution of tests in 
another.  So now we tend to create local instances of the Helpers.  The SDO 
spec group has a proposal for deprecating the INSTANCE fields,  which was 
intended to be aimed at SDO 3,  but there's a chance that it  might come into 
SDO 2.1,  so we may be helped here with a new way of accessing helpers.

An easy rule to create is that no test case in the shared set of tests can 
directly import a class from an org.apache.tuscany.* package, nor from a 
com.roguewave.*  package.  If the test requires some implementation specific 
behaviour then that code must be housed in something like a TestHelperImpl 
class.

I've been making notes on the wiki at 
http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Tuscany/TuscanyJava/Tests/RogueWave/Samples,  but 
these are the main points distilled from that raw dump.  I'll keep looking at 
the remaining issues and post more here soon.

Regards, Kelvin.
