Implement JDBC 4 method Connection.isValid() on jt400, or jtOpen

We currently need to implement "dataSource.setConnectionTestQuery("values 1");" or something like this, to test whether the connection is valid in the connection pool, and in the JDBC 4.0 specification there is already a Connection.isValid() method to validate the connection with DB2, but it doesn't seem to have been implemented yet in jt400 or jtOpen.

    IBM believes that the solution for the Idea described is available when using the java8 or later version of jt400.jar.

    version20.0.7> javap -cp java8/jt400.jar com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCConnection | grep isValid
    public abstract boolean isValid(int) throws java.sql.SQLException;

    version20.0.7> javap -cp java8/jt400.jar com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCConnectionImpl | grep isValid
    public boolean isValid(int) throws java.sql.SQLException;
