Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3983:
-------------------------------------------

> 1) Lack of XML datatype (can be remedied if the small device platform can be 
> supplemented with some extra, freely available jar files) 

I think we already document that a newer version of Xalan is needed for the XML 
support to work (regardless of small platforms). We should check that Xalan 
actually works on the small platforms before we claim that it's possible to 
make it work with the extra jars.

> 2) Non-blocking io

This is not visible to the users (same functionality on the small platforms, 
but possibly performance differences), so I don't think we need to document it.

> 6) SSL/TLS encryption

Only used by the client and the server, I think. It's probably sufficient to 
document that the client and the server don't run on the small platforms.

> User Guide documentation on the limitations of small-device support is stale

> The limitations of Derby's feature set on small devices is sketched in the 
> Reference Guide in a section titled "JDBC Package for Connected Device 
> Configuration/Foundation Profile (JSR169)". This section should be expanded 
> to include other unsupported features identified in DERBY-3966:
> 1) Lack of XML datatype (can be remedied if the small device platform can be 
> supplemented with some extra, freely available jar files)
> 2) Non-blocking io
> 3) Java EE resource manager support, including distributed transactions
> 4) Principal-based security
> 5) LDAP-based authentication
> 6) SSL/TLS encryption
