Cannot reconnect to an encrypted database [message #1234852]

I have two web projects. Both use Derby and Tomcat. The one project has an unencrypted DB and works fine. I can connect/disconnect/connect all I want using the Eclipse DB Perspective. The other project has an encrypted DB. I can connect only once from within Eclipse using the DB Development perspective. If I ever have to disconnect for any reason, I keep getting the error: An encrypted database cannot be accessed without the correct boot password.

I look at the JDBC Connection Properties for the DB connection and the correct boot password is still there. I have tried deleting and recreating the DB Connection but still get the error.

The only thing I can do is delete the Derby DB on disk and recreate it with Derby ij, I can connect again. But only once.

Thanks

I figured it out. Found some post talking about what type of encryption to use and it mentioned the service.properties file in the Derby DB directory. In that file is a parameter called: encryptedBootPassword=. This string is different from the original boot password. If I edit my JDBC connection in Eclipse and use the encryptedBootPassword, I can connect to the DB.
