Dennis,

For whatever reason, it looks like IBM didn't include 'java.sql.Savepoint' in their classes for their JVM, even though it is _required_ for JDBC-3.0 which shipped with JDK-1.4.0. The reason you have to switch the verifier off is that without a _lot_ of very ugly code, it is nearly impossible to avoid referencing the interface java.sql.Savepoint if you're implementing JDBC-3.0, and the class verifier will refuse to load a class that implements/uses interfaces it can't load itself.
