------------------------------------
Summary: Developer's Guide recommends use of a deprecated method
Key: DERBY-7032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7032
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, JDBC
Affects Versions: 10.15.1.1, 10.16.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
The "Shutting down the system" topic in the Developer's Guide (and probably
other places in the user documentation) recommends the following pattern for
re-loading the engine driver after it was unloaded by a graceful system
shutdown:
{noformat}
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance();
{noformat}
However, if you use Java 9 or later to compile an application which follows
that pattern, then you will get a deprecation warning. That is because Java 9
deprecated Class.newInstance(). Some future rev of the JDK may remove the
method altogether.
This issue was discovered while investigating DERBY-7031.
