Description

while doing support for a customer found that they had missed that Derby only supported the NoPadding option in encryption. The existing section
says so in the list of supported options, but there is a section on how to specify that points out allowed feedbackmodes but does not emphasize that
only NoPadding is allowed. I think the current documentation found at:
http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/develop/develop115.html

Could be improved by adding to the following existing section:
By Java convention, an encryption algorithm is specified like this:

algorithmName/feedbackMode/padding

The only feedback modes allowed are:

• CBC
• CFB
• ECB
• OCB

By adding:
The only padding modes allowed is:

• NoPadding
