Setting up database connectivity

Any non-trivial Java EE application will connect to a Relational Database Management Server (RDBMS). Supported RDBMS systems include JavaDB, Oracle, Derby, Sybase, DB2, Pointbase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Cloudscape, and SQL Server. In this section, we will demonstrate how to set up GlassFish to communicate with a MySQL database, the procedure is similar for other RDBMS systems.

GlassFish comes bundled with an RDBMS called JavaDB. This RDBMS is based on Apache Derby.
