If it's the former, the way you handle this is by getting a certificate and signing the derby jar file with this certificate. The user then gets a popup asking if they trust you and will accept the certificate. Depending on your set of customers, they may want a highly verified certificate from a Certificate Authority like Verisign, or they'll be happy with one you created yourself.

But, again, I don't even know if that's your problem :)

Greetings,

I've built a product based on Derby, and I've run into a problem. The product creates and modifies r/w databases, and in distributing the product to people working in very secure network situations I find that even people who are empowered to install software are frequently blocked from running the program, which creates a db on the fly on its first run.

Are there any interesting documents or ideas on minimal network permissions needed to create/access/modify Derby databases in a relatively paranoid network context?

Thanks,
