There are two ways to start the Network Server from a Java application.

To specify a different port or a specific interface in the derby.properties file, include the following lines, respectively:

derby.drda.portNumber=1110 derby.drda.host=myhost You can also specify the startNetworkServer and portNumber properties by using a Java command: java -Dderby.drda.startNetworkServer=true \ -Dderby.drda.portNumber=1110 \ -Dderby.drda.host=myhost yourApp You can use the NetworkServerControl API to start the Network Server from a separate thread within a Java application: NetworkServerControl server = new NetworkServerControl(); server.start (null);
