I just found what my problem was: the first two lines at the beginning of the file 'hsql-create-table.sql' that contains the script to populate the db begin with a comment like this: -- create tables for online banking app -- -- also seeds next_id tables w. initial values -- Try to change the '--' to '//comment' or to '<-- comment -->' It worked for me. Now I can see the link service=Hypersonic Hope you have the same problem!! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4032649#...
