You could create a loop that pings the server to determine if it is up. After a failed ping you could wait for a few seconds and try again. If after a pre-determined number of attempts all result in failure then exit the application with an error.

Hello Im integrating the start of the network server in a program (vb code) and I dunno when the server is up. So for the moment I let the application wait for 1-5 seconds to be sure that derby is up. But is there a way to know if the server is up ? Thank you Nicolas Dufour
