Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I was told this recently. I am also trying to Jaybird to work,
but unsuccessfully. I have posted to the firebird-Java site about
the problems with Jaybird but have received no reply yet
(thread 'Firebird, JDBC and Tomcat'). The apparent advantage of
InterClient is that I can test it with its utilities before I try my
webapp.

Perhaps this is the root of my problems with Jaybird and
Interclient. Should I try JDK 1.3.x with both?

Would you put the database name in the "Interserver Host"
and "Database file" fields?

I seem to be going round in circles with this problem. It seems that
JSP apps can be very difficult to install from scratch.

Thanks
