For a certain reason, I need the ability for two applications to access the same physical database. I have been lead to believe that this is possible if the database is opened in read-only mode.

I'm wondering if there is a way to do this without having to package things up in a JAR file, but rather through some kind of connection attribute? I don't think we can use the classpath either, as our application is already running at this point in time.

Our databases are fairly large, and I don't want to add extra processing time by having to compress several GB of data into a JAR file. I've tried setting the directory to read only, but Derby seems to be able to put the lock file in it anyway. :-)
