Hi all. A while ago I opened this ticket to allow opening a database from an NIO2 Path.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6912 I want to be able to open from a Path because everything other file we modify is done via a Path, allowing more universal abstraction of where the data actually goes. Does anyone else on the mailing list have any creative workarounds which might work well enough until the improvement itself is implemented? To re-summarise the problems: * Path cannot be reversibly converted to String. * BasicEmbeddedDataSource40 forces me to provide the databaseName as a String. * Even if I somehow found a way to pack the Path into the additional options for the connection, StorageFactory#init(String, String, String, String) only passes through basic information, not giving me access to the additional options.
