URL should be:

jdbc:interbase://localhost/c:/jdb/TEST.GDB

If you use '\' do not forget to escape it, but InterClient is happy
with '/' even on Windows. Also do not forget to start InterServer on
the same host with database server. It listens on port 3060. This is
the standard port for InterClient. Port 3050 belongs to Firebird
server, not InterClient.
