Is it possible to use Firebird as an embedded database with Java?
Using the Jaybird JDBC drivers? I've successfully used Firebird
embedded with Delphi and would like to do something similar with a
Java app, but am having no luck.

I'm trying:

FBManager fbManager;

try {
Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
}
catch (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("Firebird JCA-JDBC driver not found
in class path");
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
return;
}

try {
fbManager = new FBManager();
fbManager.start();
fbManager.createDatabase("c:\test.gdb", DB_USER,
DB_PASSWORD);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

This loads the driver, but fails on the create database with
a "Unable to complete network request to host "localhost"." error.

Can anyone guide me a little?

Thanks...
