The "other cases" turned out to be a red herring - I was using the wrong driver, so it was equivalent to the first case. Derby JDBC behaves as per the API, i.e. returns null if it cannot handle the url. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
