The test clases of this chapter, by default, use the Embedded mode of Derby (JavaDB). That means that the persistence.xml file defines a persistent unit with the folowing JDBC Driver

<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:chapter05DB;create=true"/>

Embedded mode is good for testing, but it means that no database is really created, so you can't browse its structure with a tool. If you can to be able to browse the database structure, you need to change the embedded mode to a client/server implementation that uses the Derby Network Server. For that, you'll have to do the following steps :

1. Install Derby. You must download the distribution and extract the package (http://db.apache.org) into DERBY_HOME directory. Add %DERBY_HOME%\bin to your PATH and run the sysinfo command line to display information about your Java environment and your version of Derby.

2. Start Derby server with the following command : java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar server start (or startNetworkServer.bat)

3. Change the JDBC driver and url in your persistence.xml file :

4. Run the test with Maven : mvn clean test

5. Once finished, shutdown the database with : java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar server shutdown (or stopNetworkServer.bat)
