That seems like a rather grand assumption for a newly integrated and
untested database. I am not away of _anyone_ using Derby besides
yourself. I think that Apple's sole intention was to make the
examples _run_ as easily as possible without requiring more software
to be downloaded and installed.

That sounds like an Apple issue, not a WOLips issue. The previous
versions delivered OpenBase examples. Talk to webobject..pple.com.

So far, only you. :-)

Which, compared to your messing about with Derby is looking pretty
damn simple right now...

Well, that leaves you out, ahead, and alone. I don't see this as a
WOLips issue. If Derby is too hard to use, tell Apple that they made
a bad choice. Otherwise, don't expect it to be easy, figure it out,
and document it so that others can make use of what you learned.
