Hi all, This is my first mail to the list, so, I want to say hello to all members. Greetings from Spain :-D.
Well, we are working in a Java Web Start application that use a database as source of information. Till now he have do our test&deploy in intranet enviroments, so we used a central postgres database. Now we have to write a internet version of our application using an embeded database for read only data. We are trying to use derby embeded with this database compressed in a jar file, but we are not very lucky till now, the console reports that the database can't be found :-(. Database's jar is referenced in the JNLP file, and it's in the same place as all other jars, so it shouldn't be a problem, still we receive a: SQL Exception: Failed to start database 'jar:(database.jar)/testDB', see the next exception for details. ... Java exception: 'No such file or directory: java.util.zip.ZipException'. java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory Our relevant connection information is: databaseDriverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"; connectionURL = "jdbc:derby:jar:(database.jar)/testDB"; This database works fine using it as a desktop application and referenced from it's folder in the URL, and the JWS application has all permissions. Any idea?. Are we missing something in the URL?. Can't a derby database be loaded from a jar in a Java web start application?. Thank you very much for you attention, al.
