Additional vulnerability to non-deterministic startup behavior when 
applications generate derby properties on the fly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-1429
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1429
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug

  Components: Store  
    Versions: 10.2.0.0    
    Reporter: Rick Hillegas


JDBC4 driver-autoloading, introduced by DERBY-930, increases the exposure to 
non-deterministic startup behavior described in DERBY-1428. With the 
introduction of driver-autloading, DERBY-1428 can be triggered if OtherApp is 
any application which uses a JDBC driver. That is, OtherApp could use a Derby 
client driver, the DB2JCC driver, the Oracle client driver, etc.. The extra 
exposure arises because, with driver auto-loading, all JDBC drivers are 
registered and the Derby engine boots the first time some application asks for 
a Connection.

The issues are summarized in an email thread 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200606.mbox/browser and 
bug report DERBY-1399.

Workarounds are similar to those for DERBY-1428:

1) Determine the derby properties BEFORE the VM starts.

2) If that is not possible, then force the self-configuring embedded 
application to run first.
