Probably would be beneficial. I can file an issue for it in the Java bug
tracker. But there may be compatibility issues with making a change like that,
too.
I wasn't complaining about JDBC breaking backwards compatibility - I
understand it has to be done from time to time.
Well, they could have simply introduced Driver2 extends Driver for the new methods, and checked instanceof Driver2 before calling them. Fully compatible, simple, no need
for reflection (well technically instanceof + cast are reflective, but no java.lang.reflect.*). Too late.
your best bet is to use java.lang.reflect.Proxy.
Never thought about that. Wouldn't that cause problems for performance
critical implementations
Proxy shouldn't be too bad; a proxy class is generated when you create the proxy, so each method call just gets one indirection AFAIK. Method.invoke is a bit trickier -
it runs "interpreted" a few times, and then if you keep on calling it, does some bytecode generation to make an fast "inlined" method handle.
