Thanks for your reply Thomas. I really appreciate the opportunity to receive answers here on your forum from such knowledgeable java programmers and I'm trying not to abuse it. Most forums don't seem to have any patience with newbies. I'm convinced that the problem is not h2, but rather my lack of understanding about how my IDE and glassfish function, both separately and in tandem. I'm using netbeans and trying to access a very simple test database within the directory structure of my web app using an older embedded version of h2, version 1.1.118 I think. It's one that I had downloaded a while back. I've downloaded the new one now though and I'm going to start messing with it. [Beware] It's really probably more of a netbeans problem. I am having trouble getting my application to use the version of the h2 library that I have placed in my WEB_INF/lib folder and it insists on using the one residing in my local file system, hence the little test databases all over my computer. For the purposes of my web app I have not yet figured out the secret handshake to get my code to run in the context of my web app's directory structure, nor have I been able to get netbeans to successfully deploy the app directly to glassfish from the IDE as per the directions in netbeans help files. I can only assume that I'm missing something somewhere and in time I will find it. Though I haven't done it yet [too busy reading pdf's] I am going to begin by manually deploying my app to glassfish to see if it works there...which is the reason I'm reading up on datasources, resources and connection pools. It appears that glassfish wants these things in order to properly run a database. I could always just use the the built in JavaDB [AKA Derby] because it's already preconfigured in glassfish. But then, how much fun would that be? ;-) Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "H2 Database" group.
