title: connect embedded derby database with struts application
body: <p>i have an embedded derby database "end_user" and i want to pre-populate the table "user" with a few records before accessing it via a struts2 application. For this, i need to set the url of the database, but i don't know what url to set. the struts application is deployed as a war in apache-tomcat/webapps.</p>
  
  <p>I have currently tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jdbc:derby:1527/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this does not seem to help in any way. I even tried hardcoding the path of the db i created (ie. C:\apache-tomcat\end_user) and even that did not help</p>
  
  <p>what to do?</p>
