Sorry for not providing more details about our deployment environment.

We are trying to use JayBird 2.1.6 to connect to Firebird 2.1.2 in embedded
mode on Windows XP SP2.

* Firebird embedded version was extracted to a folder.
* The folder containing fbembed.dll was put on the java.library.path
* jaybird21.dll was copied to the same folder as fbembed.dll
* RootDirectory was set to point to the same folder in firebird.conf
* firebird.conf and jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar are on the Java classpath of the
application

It looks like we have followed all the instructions from the JayBird
documentation link you sent. However, we are still getting an exception
shown at the bottom.

What are we missing?

Thanks.
