No, the server-style URL always has the double slash after the derby:, as in:

     jdbc:derby://my.host:NNNN/dbname

The URL

     jdbc:derby:EMDatabase;create=true

is a valid call to the embedded driver to reference a database named EMDatabase
which is located *relative* to derby.system.home.

If the <path to database> portion starts with a leading (single) slash, it is an
absolute path name in the filesystem; if it does NOT start with a leading slash,
it is a relative path name, interpreted relative to derby.system.home.
