Hello developers;
Iam building a test engine with Java. As a desktop application i want a user to print out the examination result. therefore i want to use ireport to compile the test scores and the candidate details.
Am able to get the result when i use Msql database. But i want the application to be portable,therefore i created my database using embedded derby.
My problem now is that how can i connect ireport with my embedded database? of course the org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver is not listed in the JDBC connection wizard. I have tried to input it manualy
but i found an error message Invalid Driver. Now i went to the tool menu>>options >>classpath and added the derby.jar file to the classpath. yet i am unable to connect to my embedded derby.
These are the information in the Connetion Wizard:
Name: JConnection
JDBC Driver:
org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:derby://Users/DELL/Documents/NetBeansProjects/E_JAMB_SIMULATION/E_JambUsedb
database: E_JambUsedb
uername: dbuser
password: dbuserpwd
But i got this Error mesaage: Please Insert a valid JDBC Driver!
am very much confused here and i need HELP!
My application can lost its portability if i can not figure this out. of course i dont want to use Mysql database.
Thanks in addvance!!

Let us know.
Sir dJohnson ; iam so happy that i can not express it.
It is like have just offered me some dollar bills.
My mistake is that i was pointing to the derby.jar in the JDK library. So i have to change the classpath to my project classpath.
and also as an embedded derby, i have to adda : create= true after calling my database.
You are a gem.
