With deployment, I’ll need to be able to start the code from within my
java code.
There are several ways to start the network server from Java code. The
Derby Server and Administration guide [1] describes at least two ways in
the topic called "Starting the Network Server from a Java application":
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.3/adminguide/tadminconfig814963.html
(for Derby 10.3)
Using the org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl API [2] probably
gives you the most flexibility.
If you want to start the server as a separate process instead of
embedded in the same JVM as your application, you can use Runtime.exec()
calls from your Java code.
