Re: Bug report: NullPointerException from Driver.connect when passed a Properties with non-string values

Java 1.6 added a new method to Properties, stringPropertyNames:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#stringPropertyNames%28%29

it does what propertyNames probably ought to: only gives you back keys for which getProperty will return a non-null value. But you'd have to drop Java 1.5 compatibility to use it.
