Developing with Apache Derby -- Hitting the Trifecta: Java database development with Apache Derby, Part 6
Learn how to build a self-contained, deployable embedded Apache Derby database application.
In this article, the last one in this series, you map database tables into Java classes, write Data Access
Objects (DAOs), and combine them with your business logic classes into a complete database
application. You also learn how to package your application with the necessary
Derby database files to create a single compressed file that contains everything necessary
for your database application.

Developing with Apache Derby — Hitting the Trifecta: Java database development with Derby, Part 5
Learn about the advanced features available when using prepared statements
with your Apache Derby database application. First, use the ij tool to dynamically
execute a PreparedStatement to enable rapid prototyping. Next, stream data into a
PreparedStatement to efficiently insert large quantities of data into a particular
column. Then use the ParameterMetaData object to obtain information, including
vendor-specific implementation details, about the individual parameters in your
PreparedStatement.

Build an Ajax application using Google Web Toolkit, Apache Derby, and Eclipse, Part 4: Deployment
In the past three articles in this series, you've built a simple but functional Web application using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Until now, you've been editing and debugging the application using GWT's hosted mode, which allows you to simulate a Web server environment within your Java development tool. Sadly, it's impractical to have all your users download Eclipse just to run your Web application. So, in this article, the fourth in this series, you'll learn how to deploy your GWT application within a Java Web application server and get tips on using the Apache Derby database to drive the GWT.

Real-world Apache Derby, Part 4: Wrapping up: Tracking SOX compliance
So far, this series has covered the basics of storing and retrieving data in Apache Derby using SQL. This tutorial shows you how to use this knowledge in a straightforward way. In the previous tutorial, you developed a framework that allows you to store and manage Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) compliance documents. Now you'll learn how to enter and report the information.

Build an Ajax application using Google Web Toolkit, Apache Derby, and Eclipse, Part 3: Communication
In the last two articles in this series, you've discovered how to create a simple Web application using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and the Apache Derby relational database. Part 1 focused on using GWT to build the front end for a pizza delivery system called Slicr. In Part 2, you got a demonstration of the creation of a relational database using Derby, and a bare-bones demonstration of a mechanism for converting the database rows to Java objects. Now it gets interesting! In this third article, find out how to get the client and server talking to each other. You'll use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework within GWT to make getting data off the server almost as simple as making a Java method call.

Real-world Apache Derby, Part 3: Portable document storage
Document storage is hot, hot, hot! There has been an explosion of
methodologies and tool sets -- both open source and proprietary -- to fulfill the
demand for quickly locating and searching documents. Enabling technologies like
Alfresco, Sharepoint, or my favorite, TWiki, are powerful, but they have a fairly
high learning curve -- or worse, store the documents in a proprietary format. There
must be an easier way. Let's take Derby and mash it with a new feature in OpenOffice
2.0, the Open Document Format (ODF). Using these tools, you can create a repository
that lets you store, search, and extract ODF documents in a standards-based manner.
Also learn to use the power of the improved XML features of IBM DB2, Version 9 to
make this solution easier to implement.

Cloudscape Version 10: A technical overview
The core of IBM Cloudscape is the Apache Derby open source database.
Derby's lightweight, embeddable architecture makes it the ideal database
engine for deploying database-driven Java applications. With Derby, the
database engine becomes part of the application, so the user never has to
install or manage it. This article provides an overview of Derby technical
features.

Use Derby in a J2EE Server environment
IBM Cloudscape is a freely available repackaging of the Apache Derby
relational database manager. J2EE Servers are middle-ware software based on
Sun's Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specification that bundle a number
of Java Service technologies into an integrated system. Most J2EE
applications require that a JDBC-compliant database be integrated with the
Server to store information. This article shows how to best fit Cloudscape or Derby into a J2EE environment and has been updated to feature WebSphere Application Server Community Edition as an example.

Derby database development with Apache Ant
The open source Derby database engine provides developers with a powerful new tool for lightweight database development. Derby databases are file system based and portable across different types of systems. Because of this, a common strategy is to create databases at development time and ship them with the binary distribution as opposed to having it created on the fly. In this article, author James Snell introduces a handful of Apache Ant tasks that make it easier to incorporate the building and distribution of Derby databases into an application’s build process.

Meet the Experts: Why IBM is open sourcing Cloudscape as Derby
At LinuxWorld in San Francisco, IBM announced that it was releasing Cloudscape, a fully relational Java database as open source to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), which has established it as an incubator project under the name "Derby." This is the latest in a long series of commitments that IBM has made to the open source community. To find out more about the database, and how it fits into both IBM's strategy and the Java application stack, we talked to Jon Prial, IBM Vice President, Marketing, Information Management Software. Here's what he had to say.
