Hello,
I'm using Derby db in my program.
It seems that the derby driver is not getting registered with the driver manager.



And below is the property file:-


All it prints is

Please advise.

I read that for Derby, user name is app and password is not needed. Is it right?

I don't know. But that's irrelevant to this problem; the error message appears because this line of code throws an exception:

In other words, that class can't be loaded.

Now I know you're going to say it's in your classpath and all that, but let me just point out that class names can't include quote characters. In fact you seem to have written your whole properties file as if you thought that properties files were some kind of Java code. They aren't. In particular that line of Java code where you tried to declare the jdbc.url property isn't going to work the way you thought it would.

So check out the API docs for java.util.Properties and look at the examples there.

Hey Paul,

Yeah, the user and password question is irrelevant here, just wanted to know more.

I'm going through the api.

Thanks for the super fast advice

Hi Paul,

I changed the properties file as follows:


But I get the same messages again.

I had also removed the quotes from jdbc.drivers and tested but no use.

Please advise.

So then that class isn't in your classpath.

Hey Paul,

I just found out that the related jar derby.jar doesn't contain ClientDriver class !!!
It contains EmbeddedDriver among other classes.
I rechecked my classpath, it has %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derby.jar;%DERBY_HOME%\lib; entries among others.
So I replaced ClientDriver with EmbeddedDriver but got the same message.



Isn't it strange to see no ClientDriver class ?

I've run all the classes in that jar which end with Driver i.e. AutoLoadedDriver, InternalDriver etc.
the same error is coming.

I'm downloading the derby setup again

If you can't load a class which is in a jar you already have, then downloading another copy of the jar isn't going to fix anything. If you can't load a class which is in a jar you already have, that just means that jar isn't in your classpath. Fix that.

No Paul, I'm saying that the jar file derby.jar is not having the said class ClientDriver which looks strange to me.

I'd also suggest changing the code in your catch-blocks to

The code you have there now tells you nothing about the exception which was thrown.

"org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
Could not register.

Is that the exact error message? Haven't seen that in this form before.

Hi Paul & Jan,

Below is the stack trace :

for writing

I'm surprised how come the derby.jar file not having this ClientDriver class.

Please advise.

Sorry guys.

The class ClientDriver.class is in DerbyClient.jar and not Derby.jar

The program is working fine now. :p

Ah, there is a small issue though.

How to write this statement :

If I replace jdbc.Database with the actual database name such as :

then it works fine.
