Starting JavaDB (Derby) in glassfish.

I was following sahoo's Blog for creating an enterprise application with ejb3.0.
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ss141213/archive/2005/12/using_java_pers.html

Ran into problem since JavaDB isn't started automatically when glassfish starts.

Error was "Error connecting to server localhost on port 1527 with message Connection refused: connect."

Solution:

You will have to issue below command to start derby database:

GlassFishHome/bin/> asadmin start-database

Hope this helps someone having similar issues.
