Answer 1

You are attempting to connect to a HSQLDB server but you are not using the HSQLDB version 2.3.2 jar on the client side. Check the jar is the same. Your connection url should also start with jdbc:hsqldb:hsql:.

The error also happens when you connect to HSQLDB server from software programs that are not related to HSQLDB, for example a web browser.
