EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Derby

Running EclipseLink on the Derby Database

  • 20110127: update for new Pagination and Sequencing support for Derby 10.6 - 10.7 submitted in bug# 323897 and 335464
  • Running EclipseLink on derby has several advantages including ease of installation and small footprint for rapid development - and the fact that it is also open source like EclipseLink.
  • This tutorial is currently working with Derby 10.5.3.0.

Add derby jars

  • SE: Add derbyclient.jar to the application classpath
  • EE: Add derby jars to the application server classpath (Example: for WebLogic place in the modules directory)
