> As part of the fix for DERBY-3745, Derby silently swallows security
> exceptions and leaks class loaders. This can give rise to denial-of-service
> attacks. At a minimum, Derby should report the swallowed exceptions so that
> the security policy can be corrected and the application can be hardened
> against this attack. The swallowing occurs at these locations:
