AccessControlException when running functional tests

I get this exception when I try to run a functional
test. 

$ cat views.out
RunIJ --> java.security.AccessControlException: access
denied (java.io.FilePermission
C:\eclipse_workspace\derby\trunk\java\testing\views\views_app.properties
read)
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.io.FilePermission
C:\eclipse_workspace\derby\trunk\java\testing\views\views_app.properties
read)

Any pointers as to what might be wrong. I reread the
instructions for running functional tests and I seem
to have setup things appropriately.

Here is the command line that I use to run a single
test.

java -classpath '...' -Duseprocess=false
-Dverbose=true
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest
lang/views.sql

The environment is cygwin/windows. Needless to say
when I tried to debug the test harness in the IDE it
seems to run fine. Sigh.

Thanks,
Manish

Thanks Andrew and Myrna. I'm guessing, since nobody has seen this problem
before that there is something wrong in my dev environment. Here's what I've
found:

If I run with derbytools.jar in the classpath I get this exception. Without
derbytools.jar it works. Here is the classpath that works for me:

ds=c:/eclipse_workspace/derby/trunk
jardir=$ds/jars/sane
cp="$ds/tools/java/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar
;$ds/classes;$jardir/derbyTesting.jar"

SImply adding derbytools.jar to cp causes this exception.

The command line is:
java -classpath $cp -Duseprocess=false -Dverbose=true
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest $*

The complete stack trace (in the .tmp file) is

RunIJ --> java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (
java.io.FilePermissionC:\eclipse_workspace\derby\trunk\java\testing\views\views_app.properties

Saw my name...Yes, I did some work on useprocess=false, actually back in
december and january, but that is more centered around getting networkserver
and .java tests going and speeding up test suites. I ran into a snafu
regarding classes (apparently for functions/ java stored procedures) not
found and then I had to go work on something else, it's not ready to be
checked in just yet.

All that being said, I couldn't reproduce what you see using my classes dir
in a simple shell...(i.e. outside the IDE). Did you try that?
I must be missing a crucial detail. In your IDE - eclipse, apparently - did
you use .jars for the classpath?

I'm assuming '...' here means you've removed the actual contents of
classpath for brevity. Recently, there have been some issues with
running tests with useprocess=false. I'm guessing in this case that
the security manager is installed but the test harness could not find
the security policy (due to a security exception?) when running with
useprocess=false. What happens when you run with useprocess=true (or
just not setting useprocess)?

I realize that if what you're trying to do is use a debugger during
the execution of the test that it doesn't help much if the test runs
properly with useprocess=true, but fails with useprocess=false. Any
information about how the tests fail when running with
useprocess=false will help to fix the issues that exist with testing
running in that mode, though.

I think Myrna has been working with useprocess=false recently. She may
have more information about running tests in that mode.
