given the following command , which classes would have assertions enabled

java -ea -da:com... net.examle.LaunchTranslator

1. com.example.Translator
2. dot.com.Boom
3. net.example.LaunchTranslator

2 and 3 are correct


Problem : Why 2 is correct ? We gave disabled Assertions in com package and all its subpackages , and com is a subpackage of dot.

It doesn't work that way. When we said com... , it means any package starting with com, not packages that have com as a subpackage...

Ankit, could you please sure this, in that book, it has been said.....


The following command line will only enable assertions for all classes in the package wizard.pandorasBox and its subpackage wizard.pandorasBox.artifacts. The assertions in the class Trickster are not enabled.

But Ankit ultimately Boom class is under com package only.

What Ankit is saying is in line with what the book says. com... indeed means 'com and its sub packages'. Packages that have com as a sub package could be a.b.com or ankit.com

This is what the book tries to say as well, but it uses a slightly different perspective to relay the same message

Please do consider the following

(Defining Directory Structure )

com-->foo-->sahil-->A.class
kapoor --->com-->foo--->sahil--->B.class

super--->com ( the above com directory is in super directory)
super----> kapoor ( the above kapoor directory is in super directory)

Suppose my current directory is super

ClASSPATH is super:super/kapoor;

If i say java -ea:com... which com package we are talking about ???


Problem :- Actually i am concerned about relation between CLASSPATH and argument given to -ea , are they related?
Does java sees CLASSPATH for assertion parameters also ( like -ea:com) or just the current directory ???
Does com would be searched according to CLASSPATH or current directory. ( current directory is not given in CLASSPATH)

Think of com... as regular expression. If I say "com.*", it would match "com.example", "com.abc" but it would not match "abc.com" or "example.com"

Okay that i got it from your first post when you said, packages STARTING from com....

But i m concened about "where does java looks for com "

Does it relates to CLASSPATH or just current working directory from where java is invoked ???

It applies to every package that is available on the class path...

It applies to everything. There is no specific flag to tell the JVM assertion mechanism to work only for a particular folder in the file system.
