Creating a database with Sun Java Application Server 9

Question

I am using a slightly outdated reference book on J2EE programming. It gives 2 methods of creating a database used in its casestudies. The first is an ANT script that gives the following output:
D:\original\CaseStudy-2-5\CaseStudy\Day02\exercise>asant database
Buildfile: build.xml
env-user:
prop-user:
set-user:
env-password:
prop-password:
read-password:
set-password:

set-j2ee:
asadmin:

. Please use --passwordfile option or asadmin login command.
set-j2ee:

. Please use --passwordfile option or asadmin login command.
set-dbpath:

I've checked and there is no Sun\SDK\pointbase folder. The book was written for SDK 1.4 and I believe another application server. There is also a Java program that attempts to create it with jdbc. Its output looks like this :
D:\original\CaseStudy-2-5\CaseStudy\Day02\exercise\classes>java CreateAgency
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver

D:\original\CaseStudy-2-5\CaseStudy\Day02\exercise\classes>
I am not conversant enough to discuss the corrections for the ANT script but I'm reasonably certain the Java program could work if I had the right strings in these lines.
// PointBase
private static final String driver = "com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver";
private static final String protocol = "jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/sun-appserv-samples,new";
private static final String user = "pbPublic";
private static final String password = "pbPublic";
Can anyone help me with the correct driver and protocol?
I am using the latest download version SDK JavaEE5
the entire java program looks like this:
import java.sql.*;
public class CreateAgency {
// Cloudscape
//private static final String driver = "COM.cloudscape.core.RmiJdbcDriver";
//private static final String protocol = "jdbc:cloudscape:rmi:Agency;create=true";
//private static final String user = "";
//private static final String password = "";
// PointBase
private static final String driver = "com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver";
private static final String protocol = "jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/sun-appserv-samples,new";
private static final String user = "pbPublic";
private static final String password = "pbPublic";
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn=null;
Statement s=null;
try {
Class.forName(driver);
System.out.println("Loaded driver: "+driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(protocol,user,password);
System.out.println("Connected to: "+protocol);
conn.setAutoCommit(false);

JavaEE Tutorial has a chapter on security:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/
Usually a no-arg InitialContext() is used, rather than InitialContext(props). For more info, see
