I ran into a bug (DERBY-62) when attempting to delete nonexistent table 
from a remote client derby would produce an exception that held on to a 
TableName object.  When I attempt to send the exception back to the 
remote client, I get an exception due to TableName not being 
serializable.  In this case, "a table name with schema is only 
represented by a String" would be nice :)
