Apache Derby database not working

I am running a Windows 2003 server with Coldfusion 8. I was attempting to update the Apache Derby database to the latest version. I copied the following files to the "\Coldfusion8\lib\" directory and replaced the existing files:

derby.jar

derbyclient.jar

derbynet.jar

derbyTesting.jar

derbytools.jar

After replacing these files, I haven't been able to get my Apache Derby embedded databases working. I've downloaded all of the versions of Derby from the Apache website and individually replaced the files in the "\Coldfusion8\lib\" folder. I shut down CF, replaced the 5 files, and restarted the server; all without any luck.

Any ideas on how to restore Apache Derby functionality to my server would be greatly appreciated.

how to restore Apache Derby functionality

Restore the original files you replaced!

If you want to use version of Derby other than the one CF ships with, install it separately.

I suspect that the embedded Derby is limited to using the version that CF ships with. (Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.)  If you want to use a newer version you might try installing Derby as a stand alone service separate from CF.
