This test case helps to reveal the problems when Derby does not assign proper security domain to generated classes.

This folder contains a Eclipse project so you can open it and run the test case in the current folder.

Then you should see the following exception stack trace (using JDK 1.5.0_11):

What happended was:

1/ I tried to backup the database into folder 'C:/the_project_location/db/backup'.

2/ In derby's method (RawStore.backup()), the code does the following:

       String backupDirURL = null;
       try {
           URL url = new URL(backupDir);
           backupDirURL = url.getFile();
       } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {}

       if (backupDirURL != null)
           backupDir = backupDirURL;

Basically it treats the given file path as URL. So the java.net.URL class was called.

3/ The URL class checked the input, and assume "C" is a protocol name, so it tried to look for protocol handler for it and it tried to load the handler as "sun.net.www.protocol.c.Handler" from system class loader (sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader)

4/ The system class loader checked if the caller has permission to access package "sun.net.www.protocol.c" and found that the Derby-generated class (org.apache.derby.exe.ac3a7f0048x0117xc98bxe062x0000001202800) did not have any security domain, so it threw AccessControlException.

5/ The ElxSecurityManager class noticed the exception and logged it. (That's what we saw on console.)

6/ The java.net.URL.getURLStreamHandler method captures the exception and *ignored* it. Then it tired some other ways to determine the protocol handler. At last, the method could not find any handler for "C", so it threw MalformedURLException.

7/ The RawStore.backup method captured this MalformedURLException, knowing it's not a URL, and treated the input as a file path.

8/ At last, the database was backuped successfully.

==

So in conclusion:

1/ The exception we saw on the console was a warning, but there was no real problem.

2/ This test shows you some potential problem if Derby does not assign proper security domain to the generated classes.

Personally, I think the generated classes should have the same security domain as classes loaded from Derby.jar. Then you (as Derby developer) can avoid calling doPrivileged and save a lot of time for debuging issues like this.

> I did some quick debug. I guess the problem happens because Derby generates some classes on the fly but forgets to assign proper security domains when loading the generated classes (such as 'org.apache.derby.exe.ac3a7f0048x0117xc98bxe062x0000001202800'). When the generated code tried to access some sun.* packages, the security check failed.
> Ideally, Derby code should call 
> ClassLoader.defineClass(String name, byte[] b, int off, int len, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain) 
> instead of 
> ClassLoader.defineClass(String name, byte[] b, int off, int len)
