Setting Derby system property in Sun Application Server batch file

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a home directory for my Derby databases other than the default C:\Sun\AppServer\lib that is used when asadmin.bat runs.
I have found in the derby documentation you can set the derby.system.home System Property using -Dderby.system.home="C:\databases" and I have tried to do this in the asadmin.bat file next to all the other system properties containing the -D option.
But still no luck, when I load the server using asadmin and check the server log file I can tell the property is not being set. I can also tell its not being set because I can't ping my database connection in the admin console. Any ideas anyone?
Much appreciated,
Alman

Here is what I tried.
No jndiname works but when I leave the value empy I get the result (see end)
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
props.put("java.naming.provider.url", "iiop://localhost:3700");
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext(props);
//queueConnectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) initialContext.lookup( "jms/qschdinfact");
//queue = (Queue)initialContext.lookup("jms/qschdin");
Enumeration en = initialContext.listBindings("");
while(en.hasMoreElements()) {
Binding b =(Binding)en.nextElement();
System.out.println(b);
