      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      In JDBC 4.0 Specification JSR 221
      10.1 Types of Drivers
      Type 4 drivers that are pure Java and implement the network protocol for a specific data source. The client connects directly to the data source.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Now there're some pure Java type 4 JDBC drivers needn't network protocol to access database. These driver are using file/io to access database directly. For instance. All type 4 drivers at http://www.hxtt.com/products.html support not only network protocol access, but also support file io access.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      It should be:
      Type 4 drivers are pure Java. The client implements the DBMS defined protocol (usually socket based) to connect directly to a specific data source, or use file IO to access database directly.
