SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY not working?

[David Van Couvering]

Hi, guys.  I know that NetBeans sets derby.system.home to
~/.netbeans-derby, but when I do

VALUES SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY('derby.system.home');

I get 'NULL'.

So, I tried this on both Derby 10.3 and Derby 10.2:

$ java -Dderby.system.home=/tmp -jar derbyrun.jar server start &

VALUES SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY('derby.system.home');

and I still get 'NULL'.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

What is the best way to query a network server to find out where it is
putting database directories?

Thanks,

David
