[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-8540) Modify AS 6 and AS 6 testsuite to work with IPv6 addresses

[ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Richard Achmatowicz commented on JBAS-8540: ------------------------------------------- 12. Ran into the problem of tests which generate URLs outside of the class structure, as in: class X { String baseURL = "http://" + System.getProperty("jbosstest.server.host","localhost") + ":" + "8080" ; public X() {} public setUp() {} } The problem here is that we cannot make use of the JBossTestCase helper functions, in particular getServerHostForURL(), because JBossTestCase is only fully initialised when setUp() is called and later; trying to use thsese functions in the constructor or when initialising instance variables as above will not work. There are two solutions here: (i) move the call into setUp(), which many test cases do (ii) provide some static methods which test cases could call (e.g. JBossTestCase.getServerHostForURL()) In order to avoid hacking test cases, I have instead introduced a system property jboss.test.server.host.url which provides the hostname in the required format. The advantage here is that no test cases need to be changed. The disadvantage is that an extra system property needs to be passed to the junit ant task. If this is unsatisfactory, it can be changed later. This is what was done for EAP 4.3 CP. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
