Installing Derby on ColdFusion

I was prepared to try to get it working in ColdFusion this evening and write-up a post about it. Before I started, I thought I should probably Google it to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time, and I found there was already a CFDJ article about it by Phil Cruz and Dick Applebaum.

I guess I can spend my evening doing something else. :)

    which includes some discussions that point to resources for learning more.
