On mine I'm using Toplink and I set the connection string with absolute
path.

How does one get Derby embedded in a servlet under Tomcat. In my

directories. I can connect to a path with Netbeans's database tool,
but when I launch the app on Tomcat I get errors that it can't create
files like createDD.jdbc and derby.log. I'm guessing this is because
Derby is showing it's home as the root of the Tomcat server. The
question is why and how can I fix this? I have an absolute path set,
but it still does it. Shouldn't it write everything to that path and
not just start writing to where ever it decides home is?
I have encountered similar issues. I also develop with Tomcat and
Netbeans. I do not have issues with absolute paths however. I let the
servlet get me the path however, on the servlet init I get the
ServletContext and call getRealPath("WEB-INF") to get my base
directory for my database. I have init-params setup as well so I can
reset this to a directory outside of the servlet context altogether.
Hope this gets you set in the right direction.
