>          Key: DERBY-892
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-892
>      Project: Derby
>         Type: Bug

>   Components: Test
>     Versions: 10.2.0.0
>     Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
>     Priority: Minor

> It would be nice to be able to specify a test-specific policy file.
> This should get handled similar to existing properties, i.e. get specified in a test_app.properties file (or, for a suite, in the suite.properties file).  The file should then be copied into the correct place.
> Note, that the 'old' functionTests harness (as opposed to junit tests) includes a check for a property called 'serverPolicyFile' (in harness/jvm.java). The name is a left over from when the policy file was only used for/by network server, and should be renamed - derbyTestPolicyFile, for instance. It is not used anywhere at present, and not specific to network server. It would be nice if this could be expanded, or, if not used, removed.
> The default policy file used is the derby_tests.policy file under functionTests/util.
> Also, currently, the property can only be used with RunTest - for further traction, it should probably get passed on through RunSuite/RunList.
> Once confirmed to be working, the property should get documented in <trunk>/java/testing/README.htm.
