Michael Bouschen updated JDO-771: --------------------------------- Affects Version/s: JDO 3.1 Fix Version/s: JDO 3.2 > Update requirement of ConnectionDriverName since JDBC 4 changed requirements > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-771 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-771 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: api, specification > Affects Versions: JDO 3.1 > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > Assignee: Craig L Russell > Priority: Minor > Fix For: JDO 3.2 > > > JDBC 4.0 changed the requirement for specifying a JDBC driver name. > Previously an application had to load the class to register the driver by use > of Class.forName. > All JDBC 4.0+ drivers should register themselves. See > https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-983612 > This likely means that a JDO provider will not require the > javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName to be supplied. > DataNucleus (v5.1.5+) certainly doesn't require it, and only previously used > it for loading the driver as per previous JDBC semantics. > This is only referred to in section 11.1 and Appendix G of the spec that I > can see. Perhaps we can omit it in JDO 3.2+, particularly as the JRE in use > will require JDBC v4+? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
