Is it ok to use BigDecimalHandler in JUnit tests

[Kathey Marsden <km...@sbcglobal.net>]

I am  converting parameterMapping to JUnit.  I am wondering if it is ok 
to use BigDecimalHandler in JUnit tests?  If not is there a replacement 
of some sort for BigDecimalHandler?

 
Here is a snippet of the old test where it is used:

System.out.print("getBigDecimal="
                    + BigDecimalHandler.getBigDecimalString(rs, 1)
                    + " was null " + rs.wasNull());

Thanks

because it's been done as people come across the need. Thus it would be 
good if you could move the code to junit package in the JDBC class.

Another issue is that at some point the base for trunk will change to 
J2ME/CDC/Foundation 1.1 (see DERBY-2210) which does have BigDecimal but 
does not have set/getBigDecimal.

This will change so that
   set/getObject() will return a BigDecimal for a DECIMAL column
   DECIMAL values can be passed into routines

So it might be worth converting the test assuming the above and just 
don't run it on J2ME for now. Add a comment to DERBY-2210 that such a 
test should be enabled once it is addressed.

Actually, I looked through comments of DERBY-2304 and I think Jean was
trying to implement assertDecimalEquals to compare 2 decimals. So, probably
not what you needed. I should have checked DERBY-2304 first before
responding.

Kathey, I don't know the answer to your question but Jean was working with
Decimals in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2304 Don't know if
she needed to add anything for decimal handling.

My understanding was that at least some classes in 
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/util
were being deprecated and replaced by something under 
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/junit for use with junit tests.

but I don't see anything under junit  that would replace BigDecimalHandler.

Completely naive question: why wouldn't it be? Does this touch on
JDK portability somehow?
