keep getting an Exception when I'm trying to shut down an embedded server using the following call:
Yes, it's expected that you will get an exception when shutting down the server; see http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.3/devguide/tdevdvlp20349.html
You should print out the exception that you are receiving to confirm that it's the expected shutdown exception. Here's some info on printing out the exception information to view it: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/UnwindExceptionChain thanks, bryan
