Hi Dirk,
Derby's Java ME support consists of an implementation of JSR 169, the
small-device subset of JDBC 3. That implementation is part of the core
Derby engine and can only be used in embedded mode. Derby does not
supply an implementation of JSR 169 which could communicate with Derby
servers via Derby's network protocol (DRDA).
However, your small device could communicate, instead, with a thin
adapter (for instance a servlet) which lives on the server-side.
Hope this helps,
-Rick

Hi,
I want to find out if it is possible to access a derby server running in
a regular Java environment (on a different machine) from a Java ME JVM
via JDBC client calls. The Wiki states that Derby does not include
client/server support for Java ME environments (yet). Does that only
mean that we currently can't run derby in server mode on ME, or is even
just client access to another server impossible ?
Btw, I haven't done any derby development yet, I am just trying to
figure out if I would be able to use derby in such an environment.
Thanks !
Dirk
