[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1731?page=all ]
Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-1731:
---------------------------------
Description:
While JDBC 4.0 does not require any warning statement (see DEBRY-1639) it would
be good for Derby to have such a statement.
I think we want to freedom to match JDBC 4.0 final spec in a future 10.2
release, a warning would help this, including stating that
applications written to JDBC 4.0 might need to be modified and re-compile to
work successfully.
------------------------------------------------
Sample release note added here. This can be wordsmithed on the website
depending on the actual discrepancies, if any, between the GA version of Java
SE 6 and the beta version with which Derby 10.2 is compatible.
PROBLEM:
Derby 10.2 exposes an early access implementation of JDBC4 interfaces.
SYMPTOM:
When an application runs on Java SE 6, you may see the following problems:
1) Abstract method errors when calling methods on Derby objects which implement
interfaces from the java.sql and javax.sql packages.
2) Unpredictable results when using constants declared in the java.sql and
javax.sql packages.
CAUSE:
Derby 10.2 was built and tested using an early access (late beta) version of
the JDBC4 interfaces. It is possible that the JDBC4 spec will change between
that beta version and the actual GA of Java SE 6. In that case, Derby 10.2 will
not completely satisfy the GA version of the JDBC4 spec.
SOLUTION:
The first maintenance release of Derby 10.2 will align Derby with the GA
version of Java SE 6.
WORKAROUND:
Do not run your application on Java SE 6 if your application needs to use JDBC
features whose specification changed between the time that Derby 10.2 was built
and the GA of Java SE 6. To use these features, you will have to wait until the
first maintenance release of Derby 10.2.
