Notes on running the tests with Derby's Network Server. 1) Obviously, you have to have the Derby Network Server installed and running...d'oh. Make sure the ports match in your JDBC URL and the derby server. (Some Derby documentation uses different ports). The derby.properties file in this directory has the basic setup info for users and rights needed to run this test. This should be located in your derby.system.home directory. 2) The Bookstore database directory should be manually deleted between test runs because some tables can not be dropped.
