Hi Mike,

No objection here, of course, but would you mind explaining why?  I
would have thought all-java would be preferred.

In case it helps, tsql, bsqldb, and bsqlodbc all work just fine with
Kerberos.  I used bsqldb routinely that way until recently.  

But I might be missing something.  AIUI transitive trust is a property
of the ticket, not the connection.  Do those utilities not work in your
environment and, if so, is it a matter of how they use the API, or of
how your environment is set up?
