Thanks for your reply. But again I get similier kind of error.
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.json.simple.JSONArray
Similar, but this is a different class than before. This class is in json_simple-1.1.jar in your tools/java directory in your Derby source tree. So now add /home/danny/Derby/trunk/tools/java/json_simple-1.1.jar to your CLASSPATH and try again. bryan
