Thanks, Rick. I'll test with this new patch. Andrew, FYI, I'm working
on running all the compatibility tests. If these pass, I'm planning on
committing Rick's patch. Let me know if you have any further issues
with his changes.

Key: DERBY-516

Project: Derby
Type: Test
Components: Test
Versions: 10.1.1.0
Reporter: Kathey Marsden
Assignee: Rick Hillegas
Need to incorporate client backward/forward compatibility testing into testing
procedures.
New versions of the Derby network server should work with old versions of the
network client. New versions of the Derby network client should work with old
versions of the server. Currently that means that the 10.1 client should be
tested on the trunk. The 10.2 client definitely needs to be tested with the
10.1 server before release, but it would be good to start testing snapshots of
10.2 client on the 10.1 branch earlier.
Note:
Bug fixes may mean that the canons differ for different versions.
The test harness I think is set up to allow different masters for different
versions. It at least has that functionality for the DerbyNet framework
and it could be expanded to cover DerbyNetClient. The way it works is that
the harness checks for a masters in the following order:
functionTests/master/<framework>/ver<version>
functionTests/master/<framework>/
functionTests/master/
