Answer 2

Please add your jdbc driver to the classpath of your project. It should work. Currently, the class loader is unable to load your driver class as it does it does not find it in the classpath

Answer 3

Download the version of Apache Derby you need from here. Extract the zip and you should get derbyclient.jar which has the class org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver.

FYI : If your application runs on JDK 1.6 or higher, then you do not need to explicitly load the EmbeddedDriver. In that environment, the driver loads automatically.
