Re: derby jdbc load driver

[Satheesh Bandaram]

I think Derby recommends using .newInstance() to load JDBC drivers... In fact, it is required if you plan to shutdown and reboot databases on the same thread/VM for Derby. Take a look at the javadoc for EmbeddedDriver. http://db.apache.org/derby/javadoc/engine/org/apache/derby/jdbc/EmbeddedDriver.html Satheesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bogdan Mihaila wrote: Hello!   I'm trying to load the embedded derby driver, like this:   Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance(); As Rajesh pointed out, the problem is most likely the CLASSPATH. If you still have problems, please send the complete exception, including stack trace, as this helps to figure out the problem. By the way, you don't need the '.newInstance()' part - simply loading the driver class will set up the Derby system.
