Should be the same. I cannot give you an example of JSP, but
connection string in case of InterClient would be:

jdbc:interbase://server/path/to/my.gdb

Also note, that InterClient is free only up to version 2.01. Higher
versions are bundled with InterBase and you must pay for them.
Firebird project develops its own JCA-JDBC driver called JayBird, and
this yahoo group is support group for this driver. InterClient is not
supported by Firebird project.

If you decide to switch to JayBird, here are some hints:

a) latest release candidate you can download it from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=9028&release_id=138230

b) code in CVS contains some bug fixes, so if know how to use CVS and
Ant, you can build it easily yourself (and even you do not know how
to use CVS and Ant, it is very easy to learn this)

c) for standalone usage you need in classpath firebirdsql.jar, mini-
j2ee.jar, mini-concurrent.jar or firebirdsql-full.jar (available only
in CVS version)

d) connection URL is jdbc:firebirdsql://server/path/to/my.gdb

e) driver has release notes document and FAQ that are worth reading

f) if you have any questions, just post them here
