You can apply the small patch that I posted for review a while
ago (see attachement). This simply adds the missing methods that
enable the driver to be compiled with JDK 1.4.

The problem with that is that the patched code will _not_
compile with JDK 1.3 and older. I'm working on a better solution
which allows us to maintain one tree with little or no code
duplication for all versions of JDK/JDBC, but this requires
reshuffling code into a new class structure and it will take
some time to complete.

Sorry, not from me :-)
