Hi,
I've reviewed the first half of the files, thru
test/java/rmi/registry/reexport/Reexport.java. Basically things look good and
make sense, but there are some details to be ironed out and some cleanups to be
done. Nothing major, I think, with the exception of SetChildEnv. See discussion
below.
Second half to follow later.

*** ProblemList.txt
The comment for UnbindIdempotent says "Need to be marked othervm, or changed to
be samevm safe" but the test isn't marked /othervm. Does the test need to be
updated, or is this comment misleading, and the problem really is the port
conflict?
*** ContextWithNullProperties.java
(Nitpick: import lines are out of order)
The comment says, "Create registry if one is not already running." This is
mostly left over from the earlier version which also mentioned port 1099. But,
aren't we changing things so that this tests always creates its own registry on
a unique port? If so, I'd just remove the comment and remove the catch/ignore
of RemoteException (which was suspect in the first place). If for some reason
we can't create our own registry, we should just throw the exception out to the
caller and let the test error out. If we ignored RemoteException we'd leave
registryPort as -1 which would presumably cause some obscure failure later on.
We probably also don't need to declare/initialize registryPort separately
anymore, so we can just replace the first 8 lines or so of main() with the
following:
Registry registry = TestLibrary.createRegistryOnUnusedPort();
int registryPort = TestLibrary.getRegistryPort(registry);
This same pattern occurs in these other tests and so a similar fix should be
applied to them as well:
- UnbindIdempotent
- LookupNameWithColon.java
*** LookupNameWithColon.java
This test is missing an @run tag, thus it won't actually get run! Since you've
specified an @build tag, you have to specify a separate @run tag to run the
test. It's possible to deduce this with a careful reading of the jtreg tag spec:
http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/tag-spec.txt
(IMHO this is a terrible usability problem.) I've looked at the other tests in
this webrev for similar issues, and I didn't see any, but I might have missed them.
Regarding the registry, this test is somewhat different from the others in that
it was originally coded to use an existing registry if it couldn't create its
own. If it were to find a registry running on 1099, it was probably created by
some other test, and no assumptions can reliably be made about it. So, I'd just
take out this logic and have the test unconditionally create its own registry.
*** StubClassesPermitted.java
(Nitpick.) It looks like REGISTRY_PORT is a constant, but it's a static field.
It should be renamed to have a conventional field name (i.e., mixed case).
*** UnregisterGroup.java
Similar to above, rename PORT.
*** SetChildEnv.java
The testing of the message string from the IOException causes me great concern.
This message is defined all the way over in java.io.PipedInputStream, and while
it's not localized, it does seem like a pretty fragile dependency. I mean,
changing some exception message in java.io might cause an RMI Activation test
to fail??!? (Sorry.)
Certainly we want to ignore spurious errors, and it sounds from the comment
like normal termination of rmid causes these exceptions to be thrown. But I'm
wondering if rmid crashes, won't we get the same exception and ignore it,
improperly?
I don't know what the right thing to do is here. It seems like there ought to
be a more definitive way to distinguish between normal termination and pipe
closure from an error.
*** AltSecurityManager.java
The registry and rmid fields probably should be final. Maybe all caps too,
except that RMID is the name of a class....
In run() it should probably bomb if utilityToStart equals neither registry nor
rmid.
The ensureExit() method has a local variable port, which hides the field named
port (well, not really, since ensureExit is static and port is an instance
field) but still, this is kind of confusing.
If the port field is required to be initialized properly, make it a blank final
(i.e., declare it final but without an initializer) and error-check it at the
point where it's assigned in the constructor.
*** MultipleRegistries.java
Not really a big deal, but the way the second registry is created seems
somewhat roundabout. It's not clear to me why the code can't just do this:
Registry registryImpl1 = TestLibrary.createRegistryOnUnusedPort();
Registry registryImpl2 = TestLibrary.createRegistryOnUnusedPort();
int port1 = TestLibrary.getRegistryPort(registryImpl1);
int port2 = TestLibrary.getRegistryPort(registryImpl2);
