Description

The Derby Network Server Database could be started/stopped as a service in Windows OS.
This may involve updating the win registry. Further work needs to be done to understand what all will it require to do such a thing.

I am putting below Andrew McIntyre's comments if they can help in getting a solution to this problem.

If you would like to see this functionality added, please add a JIRA entry for it. The easiest way to do this would be to provide a registry key file for Derby Network Server and provide instructions on how to install it as a Windows service using instsrv and srvany. However, we obviously can't redistribute those two utilities, but it would be nice to provide all the parts to the solution. So, a little searching turned up this public domain srvany replacement:

I haven't tried it, but I suggest trying it out to see how well it works.
