Will it be possible to connect from another process? If yes, if yes that introduces security issues that one today does need to address for an embedded configuration.I suggest that the distributed services level should be optional. Only the agent level and the instrumentation level should be there by default. This will also comply with the current Derby architecture with embedded vs. the network server.
Let me restate to make sure I understand what you're proposing (with a bit of embellishment of my own).
The jmx services are not started automatically, and if the user only uses jdbc to access Derby, jmx will not be used. If the user invokes a method on a Derby-provided jmx "bootstrap" class (don't know the jmx terminology here -- please help) then the jmx infrastructure would be initialized and the jmx services would be available to the program. The jmx services might be used to start and stop databases, get statistics about whether a database was running, how much disk space was being used, make a backup, restore from a backup, etc. To get to the data inside the database, you would still connect to a Derby database via jdbc.
Another level of service is to make the jmx services available outside the vm of the owning Derby database. This is similar to what we do now when we start the network server. There might be several ways to start the jmx services from the vm, including a - Dorg.apache.derby.StartJMX=true command line flag or via API. The API version would need permissions granted to the caller's jar file.
Did I get it? Craig
