Hi all.
Is there some way for the Derby server to allow custom code to determine
whether a directory can be opened for a database? I read something about a
policy file but that doesn't really suit our use case as the list of
directories can be changed by the admin at runtime.

Hi Daniel,
In 10.4 we are adding two system privileges, tracked by DERBY-2109. One
of these privileges is related to your concern. It is a system privilege
which limits database creation to specific locations in the file system.
The functional spec attached to DERBY-2109 explains this in greater
detail. This feature is being built on top of Java's security mechanism
and will be managed by a policy file as you say.
If you are interested, you might want to read that functional spec:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12354506/systemPrivs.html
It may provide the foundation for the feature you need.
Hope this helps,
-Rick
