Thanks for the information! I'm as keen as mustand to patch my Derby build
and begin testing sessions. Just can't wait...

Btw, I realized that you're about to convert old frameword for JDBC 1.2
to support JSR-169 (http://incubator.apache.org/derby/DerbyToDo.html).
I think that JDBC for CDC / FP is a strict subset of the JDBC 3.0 
specification (
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/optional/). 
That makes me wonder why you're converting old framework. However,
I'm sure you know what's the best way to go.
