I hope I'm not stepping on a landmine here, but does anyone else who thinks it would be a good thing to remove the need for the DB2 JDBC driver for our builds and tests? It's fine if it's an optional part, like support for JDK 1.6, but it doesn't seem right that it's required now that we have our own JDBC driver...

I think your problem is indeed with db2jcc. Your sysinfo reports it's version 1.0: "[/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc.jar] 1.0 - (581)" I think we only support 2.4 and up with derby 10 and up. Try to download a later version if you need jcc.


Ah, good.

I was rather confused by this download step in my setup. The link
in java/testing/README.htm points to:

  http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/downloads/jcc/

The link on this page asked me to register myself with IBM, which
I did, and then took me to

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?go=y&rs=cloudscape

There are 9 downloads listed on that page, so I went down the list and
found the thing that looked most likely to me:

  8.  Released product:   IBM Cloudscape (IBM DB2 JDBC
      Universal Driver, for Cloudscape/Derby)
      IBM Cloudscape V10.1 is a pure, open source-based Java relational
      database management system that can be embedded in Java programs and
      used for online transaction processing (OLTP)
Operating system: Java, Java2 | Version: 2.4.17 | Size: 1.03MB |
       Release date:  04 Oct 2004

This certainly looks like it should be version 2.4.17.

When I clicked on that item, I get a file called db2jcc_for_derby.zip,
with a readme dated Sep 29, 2004, and jar files dated Aug 24, 2004:

-bash-2.05b$ ls -l /home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib
total 1064
-r--r--r--    1 bpendleton users     1077696 Aug 24  2004 db2jcc.jar
-r--r--r-- 1 bpendleton users 673 Aug 24 2004 db2jcc_license_c.jar
-bash-2.05b$

But, as you point out, the Derby Information section in supersimple.diff
clearly states that I'm running version 1.0 of the driver:

--------- Derby Information --------
JRE - JDBC: J2SE 1.4.2 - JDBC 3.0
[/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derby.jar] 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbytools.jar] 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbynet.jar] 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M) [/home/bpendleton/src/derby-subversion/trunk/jars/insane/derbyclient.jar] 10.2.0.0 alpha - (315052M)
[/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc.jar] 1.0 - (581)
[/home/bpendleton/downloads/derby/db2jcc/lib/db2jcc_license_c.jar] 1.0 - (581)


So, I guess I'm confused: where did I go wrong, and what do I need
to do differently?

thanks,

bryan
