Using the BPEL Designer and Service Engine

Derby (JavaDB)

The BPEL Service Engine uses the JDBC resource created in the Application Server to make the necessary database connection for persistence. NetBeans is bundled with the JavaDB database, which is the Sun's supported distribution of the open source Apache Derby database. The BPEL Service Engine is configured to connect to the JavaDB database by default.

It is not necessary to create a user and database for Derby. Just create the connection pools and include the "create" flag in the database name, and set the value to "true". For example: DatabaseName -> bpelseDB;create=true.
