I am not able to reproduce this issue.
I did the following:
1. In netbeans, created a new connection (after starting Java DB server). The URL i specified was jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/foo;create=true with "someuser" and "somepassword".
2. In the admin console, when i create a new jdbc connection pool and mention "foo" as database name and the above user name and password and ping the connection pool, it succeeds.
Could you attach your pool configuration here?
Also, i tried this on linux, but not solaris or windows with b58g. Could that be a problem?
