Answer 1

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:db directory

So your error can be caused by:

Driver is not loaded correctly or your URL is malformed. So at first you need to ensure that your *.jar is in classpath. Check it out.

Also try to change your URL to:

jdbc:derby://<path>/<databasename>;create=true

create=true will ensure that db will be created if does not exist.

Update:

Look at this thead also: SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527
