I have no idea, on GlassFish v2ur2 (Sun Java System Application Server
9.1_02) it works with the following settings:

Class: org.firebirdsql.pool.FBSimpleDataSource

Properties:
database : //localhost:3050/D:\Development\AdresBoek\ADDRESSBOOK.FDB
userName : sysdba
password : masterkey

All other settings are default. I would however advise you to use the
property database (not databaseName (deprecated) or url; the property
url does nothing for a datasource).

Also a timeout could indicate that a server is listening on the port
specified, but not responding. Also try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost,
maybe there is an IPv4 <-> IPv6 problem going on here.

It might be wise to check the appserver logs for the stacktrace of the
exception, because that usually provides more information than the
errormessage.
