Myrna van Lunteren updated DERBY-892:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: DERBY-892_3_20060523.stat
                DERBY-892_3_20060523.diff

Attaching a follow-up patch - DERBY-892_3_20060523.* - does the following: 
- changes the location of the composePolicyFile() calls so that there is ever only one call (the method was being called twice, before)
- adds the property replacePolicyFile (true/false, default false, i.e. append)
- adds documentation in testing/README.htm for replacePolicyFile
- removes reference to serverPolicyFile property from jvm.java (because that property was never used and the copying is now done in RunTest anyway)
- adds code to ensure a suite-specific policy file can also be used 
- adds a policy file for the nist suite and removes the entries from derby_tests.policy.

> 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.
