I would expect that the result of that call is consistent with the
return values of:

supportsSchemasInDataManipulation()
supportsSchemasInIndexDefinitions()
supportsSchemasInPrivilegeDefinitions()
supportsSchemasInProcedureCalls()
supportsSchemasInTableDefinitions()

If any of those methods return true, I would expect that getSchemas()
returns at least one entry. If none of them return true, I would think
returning nothing in getSchemas() is perfectly OK (although I do not
have a real JDBC spec available only, the Javadocs).
The same goes for catalogs.
