John H. Embretsen commented on DERBY-1086: ------------------------------------------ Please read the following thread from the derby-user mailing list and see if that solves your problem: http://www.nabble.com/Specifying-the-Derby-Database-Location-t1038003.html In short, databases do not currently have to be stored in the same directory as the derby.properties file, since you can specify database URLs relative to derby.system.home. > Location of derby.properties file > --------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1086 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1086 > Project: Derby > Type: Improvement > Components: Unknown > Environment: all > Reporter: Thorsten Möller > Priority: Minor > > As with (at least) version 10.1.2.1 the configuration file "derby.properties" > must be located in the directory where all databases will be stored. It > should be possible to have this file anywhere in the filesystem for > flexibility. Most projects which use Derby as one component use a central > directory where all configuration files reside. > Then, for startup of Derby there has to be a property which tells Derby where > to find the properties file, for example "derby.properties.file.path". If > that property is not set on startup the system might fall back to the current > behaviour, i.e. try to find the properties file in its database directory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
