> Puzzling documentation about the URL to a database on the classpath
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-5612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5612
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas

> The "Accessing databases from the classpath" section of the Derby Developer's
> Guide says that you can access a database on the classpath by putting a
> forward slash in front of the database name (and then adding other path legs
> as needed). I don't find that it works this way. I ran the following
> experiment:
> 1) I put a database called nast in the testRun/extin subdirectory of the
> current directory.
> 2) Then I put testRun/extin on the classpath.
> 3) Then I tried connecting to the database with various URLs.
> The following URLs could not find the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> But the following URL found the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> This is not what I expected from the documentation in the Developer's Guide.
