Hi,
Understand, but that doesn't answer why properties such as logDevice etc...
are allowed to be passed in on every url connection.
That is because, as far as I know, the properties (attributes) you can
set in the connection URL affects that one database only, not the entire
Derby system. The derby.system.home property (and others) are
system-wide, hence affecting all databases in that system (same JVM).
It would be nice that
*if* set from the url it uses that in the static field, otherwise it
defaults to whatever
value is presently there. It would make development easier. No?
Yes, it would be easier in some use cases (especially single-user
systems), but it might complicate things in others. If I was setting the
system home via the URL, I think I would like to know if it actually
took effect or not...
Of course, you are welcome to create a Jira issue requesting such a
feature, perhaps work on implementing it yourself, and see if any other
Derby developers want to chime in on the subject :)
