Kim Haase commented on DERBY-5612:
----------------------------------

Thanks for noticing this, Rick. Looks like the change fell through the documentation cracks back in 2005. Better late than never.

> The "Accessing databases from the classpath" section of the Derby Developer's Guide says that you can access a database on the classpath by putting a forward slash in front of the database name (and then adding other path legs as needed). I don't find that it works this way. I ran the following experiment:
> 1) I put a database called nast in the testRun/extin subdirectory of the current directory.
> 2) Then I put testRun/extin on the classpath.
> 3) Then I tried connecting to the database with various URLs.
> The following URLs could not find the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> But the following URL found the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> This is not what I expected from the documentation in the Developer's Guide.
