Embedded Derby Server won't Start Outside Netbeans

[likesjava]

Javier was kind enough to look at the files I sent him (thank you Javier).

The essence of what he pointed out to me was:

1. Right click on your javafx application and select Create Entities From database.
2. Use the defaults.
3. Add this to you method as test code:
You will also need to update your META-INF/persistence.xml file -

The xml file should be generated when you run the Entities from Database wizard.

Apparently I was missing a major step, shown above, to get the Derby DB to run without first starting the server.

In my case I want to eventually work on cell phone apps, so file size and complexity needs to be small.

What I found was that by adding the steps above, my files size went from about 3 MG to almost 9 MB, and added scores of new classes in the jar files. Unfortunately for my purposes this is just way too much so I will pursue other ways of getting my data.

Thank you again Javier.
