Derby 4616

[Jayaram Subramanian <rs...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
I was going through the SysInfoTest.policy file trying to figure out
where to add the permission

java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";

to avoid the
Java user name: Security Exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.util.PropertyPermission user.name read)
Java user home: Security Exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.util.PropertyPermission user.home read)

we are getting in unfiltered output of SysInfoTest testSysInfoLocale method

To which code base in the policy file i need to add the property
permission settings

With Regards
Jayaram

Sysinfo classes are actually included in derby.jar, derbynet.jar, 
derbyclient.jar and derbytools.jar.  They also are of course in the 
classes directory, so the perssion actually needs to be there in the 
policy file for all four jars and classes to accommodate different 
classpaths and classpath orders.   For some  of these (like 
derbytools.jar I thinke) we already have permission for all properties, 
so it does not need to be added.

I will commit Lily's DERBY-4441 patch  Monday, so make sure you watch 
for that and make sure your client is synched up before you post a  patch.

Thanks

Hi Jayaram:
   This is Lily. I am working on Derby 4441 which is also relate to Sysinfo.
I will start from SysinfoTest.policy at java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/derbynet Since sysinfo touch many jar file, needed permission need to reflect to all the necessary area.


Best Regards,
Lily
