FULL PRODUCT VERSION : Version = Forte(tm) for Java(tm), release 4.0, ee EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION : 1.4.0 JDK Sybase JConnect 5.5 connecting to Sybase 12.0 Database. A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : When adding a JDBC driver to the Explorer [Runtime]/Databases/Drivers, there is no provision to specify the entire Properties list belonging to the driver. Specifically, our Sybase driver requires us to set its CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS property to something other than its default value before we can even login to the database. You should allow the user to specify these "extended" properties like JBuilder does. Without this capability, we can't use Forte EE in our environment. STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : 1. Add a databse driver using Explorer [Runtime]/Databases/Drivers/Add Driver... 2. You'll see that there is no provision to define extended properties. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : The driver's Properties dialog should inspect the driver and provide a list of the driver's properties and allow the user to edit them. Currently, these "extended" properties are not available. Look at the way JBuilder provides this functionality. REPRODUCIBILITY : This bug can be reproduced always. ================================================================= Enhancement transferred from Bugtraq (#4724096)
