Accessing InterClient Extensions to JDBC

To access InterClient method extensions, cast a generically declared java.sql object instance to its corresponding interbase.interclient instance before applying the method.

For example, the following code fragment shows how to cast an InterClient driver instance in order to access a hypothetical InterClient Driver extension method isBuzzwordCompliant().

// Create an InterClient driver as a generic JDBC driver
java.sql.Driver driver = new interbase.interclient.Driver ();

// Since isBuzzwordCompliant() is NOT a JDBC method,
// cast the generic driver instance to its actual interclient instance.
if (((interbase.interclient.Driver) driver).isBuzzwordCompliant ())
  System.out.println("It's Buzzword compliant too!");
