Deploying Derby in an embedded environment

You can embed Derby in any Java application (single- or multi-user) by deploying the following packages.

  • The Derby library (derby.jar).
  • The libraries for the application. You have the option of storing these libraries in the database.
  • The database or databases used by the application, in the context of their system directory.

In the following figure, the top graphic shows the deployment of an application, where the application, the Derby software for embedded use, the derby.properties file and the database are four objects. The bottom graphic shows a simplified deployment by reducing the number of objects to two by storing the application and the properties file in the database.

Figure 1. Two approaches to deploying a Derby application in an embedded environment.
This figure shows two
graphics. The top graphic displays a slightly more complicated deployment
of a Derby system involving four objects: the derby.jar file, your application
jar file, the derby.properties file and the database. The bottom graphic displays
a simplified deployment of a Derby system involving two objects. The application
jar file and the derby properties are stored in the database. Only the derby.jar
file is outside the database.
