It works with EMBEDDED now, but I have the following comments:

1. "PURE_JAVA" constructor created FBBackupManager throws the
following exception if I backupDatabase():
"java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
at
org.firebirdsql.gds.impl.wire.AbstractJavaGDSImpl.iscServiceAttach(AbstractJavaGDSImpl.java:2569)

org.firebirdsql.management.FBBackupManager.backupDatabase(FBBackupManager.java:210)
...
"

2. I created an FBBackupManager with an "EMBEDDED" constructor
parameter. By default I set the host to setHost("localhost"). Because
of this, the backupDatabase always threw a
"org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: GDS Exception. 335544344. I/O
error for file CreateFile (open) ..."

3. It finds and uses jaybird2.dll and fbembed.dll if I place them in
the program's (working) dir, but it doesn't find firebird.msg, which I
eventually placed in windows/system32.

(4. If I don't set user or pass with setUser/setPassword it throws a
NullPointerException which is perfectly correct, just not very
informative)


Great job!

John

ps:
event handling from java and built in java language support are the
other two features I'm interested in (my interest in the second is
partly because of the lack of the first). I haven't found anything
about them on the Wiki, is there any info about anyone implementing
event handling or how java procedural language is progressing?
