Can't connect application to database

I have a problem connecting my Web app to the database using Eclipses datasource explorer.

This is what I did:

enter image description here

Maybe i did configure wrong the driver. This is how i configurated the driver definition from eclipse Helios. Window->Preferences->DataManagement->Conectivity->Driver Definitions:

1

2

enter image description here

3

4

I am able to start the application server and even access the application throgh the browser. But i cannot interact with the db. This is how the config files of the webapp look like:

persistence.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="jdbc/GroupBuySystem">
<class>entities.Administ</class>
<class>entities.Buyer</class>
<class>entities.Comment</class>
<class>entities.Log</class>
<class>entities.Offer</class>
<class>entities.Seller</class>
</persistence-unit>
    </persistence>

sun-resources.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <property name="Password" value="pwd"/>
    <property name="URL" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/groupbuydb;create=true"/>
<property name="driverClass" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
</resources>

Also i want to mention that i start the database from the console with this command:

C:\glassfishv3\bin>asadmin start-database

enter image description here

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I connect to the DB?

You have the wrong jar file. Use derbyclient.jar and not derby.jar for your driver.

derby.jar is for derby in embedded mode. derbyclient.jar is for network/server mode and that's what you have defined in your connection string:

<property name="URL" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/groupbuydb;create=true"/>
