> I launch derby by issuing the command (from $DERBY_HOME)
It's always been a bit of a trick to figure out which directory the Network Server is trying to read your properties from. Does it work if you do: java -jar $DERBY_HOME/lib/derbyrun.jar -Dderby.language.logStatementText=true server start If it's looking in the wrong directory, one thing to do is to run 'sysinfo' against the Network Server. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/adminguide/tadminconfigsysteminformation.html thanks, bryan
