Re: Question about using URLClassLoader and Derby

[Craig L Russell]

Hi David, Sorry, I don't know the details of stored procs in Java. I'd have to look at the stored proc code to see what assumptions it makes about where the Java class is. There are many possibilities that make sense: use Derby's class loader; use the context class loader of the caller; create a new class in Derby's class loader from the byte stream that represents the stored proc class. My comment below had to do with user-domain classes that are stored in Derby as objects... Craig On Nov 9, 2005, at 2:33 PM, David W. Van Couvering wrote: Thanks, Craig.  One comment below...

JDBC is a pretty good abstraction layer that uses pass-by-value semantics not pass-by-reference semantics, so as long as you're not using user classes inside your database you should be ok. Hm, user classes may be used in stored procedures, right? <david.vancouvering.vcf> Craig Russell Architect, Sun Java Enterprise System http://java.sun.com/products/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.
