I. Purpose of Documentation Notes
II. Behavior with JDK 1.4
The purpose of these documentation notes is to document new errors that were found or features that were added to the IBM Informix JDBC product after the IBM Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide was published.
Due to a Sun Microsystem Java (TM) Bug 4361575 fix in JDK 1.4, UDT/UDR
manager helper classes included in the ifxtools.jar in the JDBC driver are
not accessible from a packaged class. In previous releases, JDBC driver UDT/UDR
manager helper classes from ifxtools.jar were not part of any package/named
namespace, thus users with JDK 1.4 will not be able to use these classes from
any packaged class or named namespace.
As a part of a fix, the following change was done in the 2.21.JC3
release of JDBC driver:
All the helper classes for UDT/UDR in ifxtools.jar are now part of the namespace / package called udtudrmgr. The unpackaged version of these classes is also included for backward compatibility with JDK 1.3 and JDK1.2. Users trying to use UDT/UDR
manager classes in JDK 1.4 from the packaged class will need to use following kind
of import statements in their programs:
