[jira] [Created] (DERBY-5910) Document use of Connection.close() with try-with-resources

[Kim Haase (JIRA)]

Kim Haase created DERBY-5910 Document use of Connection.close() with try-with-resources Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 10.9.1.0 Assignee: Kim Haase Components: Documentation Created: 24/Aug/12 16:09 Description: The Java SE 7 try-with-resources feature can cause problems with AutoCloseable objects like java.sql.Connection. You must be careful when writing portable code which declares Connections in the initializers of try-with-resources blocks, because Derby raises an exception if you try to close a Connection with uncommitted work in-flight. Changing Derby's Connection.close() to always commit in-flight work (and not raise an exception) would create backward compatibility issues, but we do not know yet how serious these issues would be, owing to a lack of data. Rather than change Derby's behavior now, we should document how Derby's Connection.close() behaves and describe the portability issues involved in declaring Derby Connections in try-with-resources initializers.
