Hi!
I wrote a mail to Thought Inc. asking whether the CocoBase Free works
with InstantDB 3.20 or not.
They told me, that they don't support any InstantDB version newer than
the one released with CocoBaseFreeJDBC (v 2.20!). Problems using
CocoBase with InstantDB newer than v2.20 occurs because the name of the
InstantDB JDBC driver has changed from "jdbc.idbDriver" to
"org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver".
Regards
Juergen
