Database-wide properties are stored in the database and are simpler for
deployment, while system-wide parameters might be easier for development.
- If you are setting any system-wide properties, see if they can be set
as database-wide properties instead.
- Are any properties being set in the derby.properties file? Some
properties can only be set on a system-wide basis. If so, deploy the entire
system directory along with the properties file. Deploy only those databases
that you wish to include. Setting properties programmatically can simplify
this step- you will not have to worry about deploying the system directory/properties
file.
Before deploying your application, read Recommended practices.
Extra steps are required for deploying an application and an embedded database
on read-only media. See Creating Derby databases for read-only use.
