Sorry if this seems trivial, but I'm stuck at the connection.
If I try "jdbc:firebirdsql:native://localhost/e:/path/to/mydb.fdb" I get

"Cannot connect to this database:
jdbc:firebirdsql:native://localhost/e:/databases/firebird/immopac_20030616.fdb
org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: Resource Exception. unavailable
database
Reason: unavailable database"

If I try "jdbc:firebirdsql:native//localhost/e:/path/to/mydb.fdb"
(without ":" after "native") I get
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "/e"

Note that I can substitute "localhost" with anything ("loopback"
included), and still it doesn't work.
The dlls are in /bin directory of the jdk, and using the prevoius
"firebird_embeded.jar" file everything goes well.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA
