Java DB/Derby Type 4 Driver

The JAR file for the Java DB/Derby driver is derbyclient.jar. (Java DB is based upon Apache Derby.) Configure the connection pool using the following settings:

• Name: Use this name when you configure the JDBC resource later.

• Resource Type: Specify the appropriate value.

• Database Vendor: Java DB/Derby

• DataSource Classname: Specify one of the following:

  org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource
  org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientXADataSource

• Properties:

  • serverName – Specify the host name or IP address of the database server.

  • portNumber – Specify the port number of the database server if it is different from the default.

  • databaseName – Specify the name of the database.

  • user - Specify the database user.

    This is only necessary if Derby is configured to use authentication. Derby does not use authentication by default. When the user is provided, it is the name of the schema where the tables reside.

  • password – Specify the database password.

    This is only necessary if Java DB/Derby is configured to use authentication.

• URL: jdbc:derby://serverName:portNumber/databaseName;create=true

  Include the ;create=true part only if you want the database to be created if it does not exist.
