Hello Brian,
I once had an older version of XWiki running with embedded Derby under Tomcat 5 on Windows XP. I blew that away to start fresh with XWiki 1.0 beta 4 (still with embedded Derby under Tomcat 5 on Windows XP); however, I've run into a variety of difficulties.
[...]
Now the schema exists, so I start Tomcat with XWiki and try to access it. Now it doesn't complain about the schema not existing. Instead it says it can't find the tables it wants:
ERROR 42X05: Table 'XWIKI.XWIKIDOC' does not exist.
I cannot understand what it takes to have the schema created. Any ideas?
Recently I've stumbled on the same problem. After much searching, this thread gave me the answer: http://www.archivesat.com/contact_derby-user-help/thread656404.htm I was creating an embedded derby db with a different user than the one hibernate used... The solution for me was very simple: use the same user and password in both places. Maybe this will also work for you, Best regards, Pablo
