Description

I would love to have Derby write/read to the storage area provided by the JNLP PersistenceService API.

Since Derby is now bundled with the Java6 JDK as JavaDB, I think this integration would go a long way towards making derby more developer- friendly in Java Web Start environments, where using the sandbox tools Sun provides us it the right way to go, instead of working around it and force the user to give the app the authorization to write on the hard drive IMHO.

I'm investigating the effort needed to provide an implementation of the WritableStorageFactory interface around the PersistenceService API, and if that's doable in a few days work, I will start working on it and submit a patch for testing/approval ASAP.

Feel free to volounteer and provide pointers/hints/whatever, it's really appreciate, especially since I currently know nothing of derby internals.
