You can also just set derby home to target/derby or targetvia:

I have came up with another solution. Try this out; it worked for me. What I am doing here is I have changed the System.stream.error.file path and set it to one of the properties present under my property file. Just adding the below given code to your applicationContext.xml file will work.

<bean id="setDerbyLog" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetClass"><value>java.lang.System</value></property>
  <property name="targetMethod"><value>setProperty</value></property>
  <property name="arguments">
    <list>
      <value>derby.stream.error.file</value>
      <value>${derby.stream.error.file}</value>
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>
