I have run the JDBC test suite[1] against the jdbc driver that comes
with the postgresql 7.1.2 release and the driver that is in CVS. About
17% of the tests fail in both cases. From a glance, it looks like most
of those failures are from unimplemented methods, either because support
hasn't been added to the driver or there isn't any backend support.
There are some weird failures as well (i.e.: a test fails once, but
succeeds on later runs). Once I have combed through the results (and
there are a lot of results!), I will post a report here.

The instructions are fairly straightforward, but application server
stuff is a bit vague. Using j2ee as the application server is what they
expect even though it doesn't say so in the docs. I can provide
instructions.
