Documentation should recommend using .newInstance() to instantiate JDBC driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-503
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-503
Project: Derby
Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Versions: 10.1.1.0
Reporter: Oyvind Bakksjo
Priority: Minor
Using Class.forName("<driver name>").newInstance() is the recommended way to
load and instantiate the JDBC driver, but the documentation does not contain
the .newInstance() part.
Pointers:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/devguide/cdevdvlp40653.html
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefjdbc32052.html
The EmbeddedDriver javadoc mentions it:
"The JDBC specification recommends the Class.ForName method without the
.newInstance() method call, but adding the newInstance() guarantees that Derby
will be booted on any Java Virtual Machine."
