No, except that I never know if I have to add two or three slashes to file:/// ;-) Ok, then lets try to use an URL. But we can't use the java.net.URL class because it isn't possible to create an URL object from "jdbc:...". So I suggest to use either java.net.URI (my preference) or a simple String. The partition implementation is then responsible for converting it into a File or JDBC DataSource or whatever. Kind Regards, Stefan
