Dear All,

This is my first post to this list so my apologies for any conventions/rules I've inadvertently broken :-) My situation is as follows: there is a commercial application called BlackBoard which is used by universities to provide learning resources to students, it's built upon Apache Tomcat and allows 3rd parties to develop "Building Blocks" (separate tomcat webapps) which can be integrated into the main BlackBoard application. As part of my Building Block I have a servlet which creates a database (using the Cloudscape 10.0 library), and despite a few hic-ups on the learning curve it uses Java commands to create the database and it seemed to work fine.

However I've started throwing some bizarre LinkageError's (see subject) when querying the database, and so I thought I'd try the latest (10.1.1.0) Derby library except this time I get "SQL Exception: Java exception: 'loader constraints violated when linkingorg/apache/derby/iapi/sql/execute/NoPutResultSet class: java.lang.LinkageError'" when I'm actually creating the tables and inserting a value for the first time (this didn't cause any problems with the Cloudscape library). If anybody has encountered anything like this before then I'd appreciate any assistance - is it a bug or something I'm doing wrong on my part? Is there a workaround? I searched http://issues.apache.org/jira for LinkageError but nothing seemed to be directly related.

Thanks in anticipation.

Simon Whittle
