Not sure exactly what you mean by this, but you CAN buy a sup****t
contract from Sun for Java DB (which is identical to Apache Derby, and
is what you find in the JDK). See

I did not get all of that, but in general, starting the Derby
NetworkServer is as easy as 

java -jar /path/to/derbyrun.jar server start [options]

See http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/
