Kevin,
Before starting the database, set the value for "derby.system.home". For
example:
System.setProperty("derby.system.home", "/home/derby/"); // Use absolute
path here.
When you run tomcat, the value for "user.dir" is set to Tomcat home.
This why if you do not specify absolute path the relative path will
always start with tomcat home.

Imran.

I have a java web application on a virtual host with Tomcat.
I do not want to set my embedded derby database?s home by absolutely
path. I hope it can location in the web application?s root directory.
But when I set the URL like this jdbc:derby:DBTest;create=true. The
DBTest database always been created in tomcat?s bin directory.
Because I?m not sure the relationship with the host?s tomcat directory
and my application location,
I don?t know what could I do, it can easily locate in my own web
application.
