who said anything about derby?

[grafpoo]

the app context below, when run in my unit test (belower), generates the message:
"Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [placesDaoTest.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.derby.jdbc.InternalDriver.embeddedDrive rAcceptsURL(Ljava/lang/StringZ"

(full stack trace at bottom).
i am at a loss why derby is getting involved (does it's driver accept anything no one else will take?), much less why something is calling a non-existent method within derby...

the problem was nothing to do spring of course. i had an old derby.jar in my classpath. i guess since derby (jdb?) is part of java6, it registers itself with the driver manager -- first. then when the URL came in, my old derby.jar classes got loaded in and didn't have the method the driver manager wanted.

sheesh.

I am still learning xml schema and using xmlns etc and
i am curious about that phrase you used in your solved reply
and to what exactly you refer.

Is that phrase a reference to the "[url]" syntax in the xsi: ... part of the
xmlns ? i have not seen the [url] syntax used before?
I suppose i need a book on the latest definition of xml namespaces.
