Martin Zaun commented on DERBY-2109: ------------------------------------ Myrna, Rick, thank you very much for testing. On the NoSuchMethodError: (my) class DatabasePermission DOES call method String.split(String) at line 237. However, the javadoc says this method has been introduced with JDK 1.4. It's not in the patch but in the class that's already been in the trunk for some time (but not invoked yet). So, I'm confused: does it mean that for J2ME/CDC we can't fully rely upon the 1.4 java.lang API ?

See the > related email discussion at > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.db.derby.devel/33151. > The 10.2 GRANT/REVOKE work was a big step forward in making Derby more > secure in a client/server configuration. I'd like to plug more client/server > security holes in 10.3.
