Gail Badner commented on HIBERNATE-83:
--------------------------------------

I've documented expected test failures and the flag to ignore expected failues in : https://svn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/branches/Branch_3_2_4_SP1_CP/readme.txt

In addition, there should be something in the release notes like:

"It is recommended that the Hibernate unit tests be executed using the same dialect and version of JDBC that will be used in production, to ensure that the configuration setting, hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data, is set properly. The value for  hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data determines if Hibernate will use batches for updating versioned data (an optimization). 

Optimistic locking relies on the ability to obtain the number of rows updated. If the JDBC driver does not return update counts for each command in a batch, then hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data should be set to "false". 

The unit tests use the settings in etc/hibernate.properties. The value for hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data is set to "true" in that file. If the unit tests involving optimistic locking fail, then the appropriate value for this flag is  "false".

Some versions of Oracle JDBC do not support returning update counts for each command in a batch, so it is particularly important to test using the same version of JDBC as will be used in production."

Also, for the migration section:

"OracleDialect and Oracle9Dialect have been deprecated. Oracle8iDialect, Oracle9iDialect, or Oracle10gDialect should be used instead."

> Create release notes for the standalone application that includes:
> 1) expected unit test failures
> 2) if "non-supported" dependencies are not included in the distribution, then unit tests using those dependencies will fail out of the box; this should be documented
> 3) JDK 1.4 is not supported; no testing done using JDK 1.4;  only JDK 1.5 is supported
> Does anything else need to be put in the release notes for the standalone product?
> Should there be release notes for Hibernate embedded in EAP?
