   The only file you'll need from this download is derby.jar
3. Stop Tomcat
4. Copy derby.jar (from the derby distribution) to Tomcat_Home/common/lib
5. Add the sample war file to Tomcat_Home/webapps
   a.sample-companyweb-xxx.war (e.g. "sample-companyweb-1.0-incubator-M2.war")
6. Install the canned Derby database to Tomcat:
   a.First, create a new directory named "Databases" to hold the sample database.Create
   Tomcat_Home / Databases
   b.Copy the dastest folder (and all its contents) from (build directory root OR where samples were unzipped/java/das/samples/companyweb) to Tomcat_Home/Databases.

*NOTE:
If you are running this from a sample distribution, the canned database is available in the
distribution, inside the databases directory.

1. Define a DataSource by adding a datasource definition to Tomcat_Home/conf/server.xml.
   a.Find the end-of-section marker </GlobalNamingResources> and add the following lines just above it:

        <!-- Global Datasource for Derby dastest database -->
         <Resource name="jdbc/dastest"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"  auth="Container"
              description="Derby database for DAS Company sample"
              maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
              username="" password="" 
              driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
              url="jdbc:derby:{absolute path}Databases/dastest"/>

*Requirement: You must include the absolute path to the "Databases" directory in the above url
attribute. Fore example:

url="jdbc:derby:c:\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\Databases/dastest"/>
