That's an implementation detail, wouldn't it be better to have a separate class 
for replication commands, even if they use the same implementation code?
Does that mean that this replication does not supported embedded only use, a 
network server must be booted? Good to state that in the spec, if so.

The functional spec says "The slave tries to reestablish the connection with 
the master. " - I guess this really means the slave waits for a master to 
re-connect to it.

> It would be nice to have replication functionality to Derby; many potential 
> Derby users seem to want this. The attached functional specification lists 
> some initial thoughts for how this feature may work.
> Dag Wanvik had a look at this functionality some months ago. He wrote a proof 
> of concept patch that enables replication by copying (using file system copy) 
> and redoing the existing Derby transaction log to the slave (unfortunately, I 
> can not find the mail thread now).
> DERBY-2852 contains a patch that enables replication by sending dedicated 
> logical log records to the slave through a network connection and redoing 
> these.
> Replication has been requested and discussed previously in multiple threads, 
> including these:
