Summary:  This tutorial shows you how to build a dynamic Java™ analysis application that connects to Apache Derby. Explore the dynamic way the database stores new application logic, changing the logic of the database without touching the core client program. And learn about Java archive (JAR) signing and how to provide security for the application that uses hot-swappable .jar files.

Summary

In this tutorial, you successfully created a dynamic Derby application that allows you to change the data file, modifying the application logic without having to recompile or touch the core application code. You can now create functions in Derby that are accessible by your Java application. And you can create multiple .jar files with different configurations of the same database. You also learned about an important security element added to the auto insurance application by signing the hot-swappable .jar files.
