I'm coding a server-client application in Java and I need to implement a local database on the server side and I decided to go for H2 database engine.
One more thing to add is that I usa TCP connection to start and run the database. This is what I put together so far:
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
Server server = Server.createTcpServer(DB_PATH).start();
Connection currentConn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_PATH, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
Where the connection string is jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test.
That piece of code returns with an exception:
Feature not supported: "jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test" [50100-176]
I followed this article.

Something like this should work
Server server = null;
try {
server = Server.createTcpServer("-tcpAllowOthers").start();
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.
getConnection("jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/stackoverflow", "sa", "");
System.out.println("Connection Established: "
+ conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductName() + "/" + conn.getCatalog());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
and the output is Connection Established: H2/STACKOVERFLOW
This has been tested with h2-1.4.184
This is my simple H2-DBManager - just name its filename DBManager.java and feel free to reuse it:
import java.sql.SQLException;
import org.h2.tools.Server;
public class DBManager {
private static void startDB() throws SQLException {
Server.createTcpServer("-tcpPort", "9092", "-tcpAllowOthers").start();
}
private static void stopDB() throws SQLException {
Server.shutdownTcpServer("tcp://localhost:9092", "", true, true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
if (args.length > 0) {
if (args[0].trim().equalsIgnoreCase("start")) {
startDB();
}
if (args[0].trim().equalsIgnoreCase("stop")) {
stopDB();
}
} else {
System.err
.println("Please provide one of following arguments: \n\t\tstart\n\t\tstop");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I was able to do it a little more easily accepting the defaults:
Server server = Server.createTcpServer().start();
