Description

We have a customer in the South American Spanish locale, which in effect are using these settings: -Duser.language=es -Duser.country=419. I have seen DERBY-4854 and this comment:

The problem seems to be that Locale.getDefault().getCountry() returns "8859_1" in this locale, and that value confuses Derby. The javadoc for Locale.getCountry() says that it should return an empty string or a two-letter uppercase country code, so I think it's a bug that getCountry() returns "8859_1".

However the Javadoc in fact states that 3 digit codes are permitted:

Returns the country/region code for this locale, which should either be the empty string, an uppercase ISO 3166 2-letter code, or a UN M.49 3-digit code.

So it seems Derby requires adding support for the three digit country codes.

As a workaround, I can apply territory=en_US to the connection parameters, but this is not ideal.

For the record, here is the stacktrace seen:
