jdbc connection realted node js is deployed in apigee edge as apiproxy, i get exception

[#1]

var jdbc = require('trireme-jdbc');

var db = new jdbc.Database({
    url: 'jdbc:datadirect:openedge://hostname:portno;DatabaseName=dbname',
    properties: {
        user: 'username',
        password: 'password',
    },
    minConnections: 1,
    maxConnections: 20,
    idleTimeout: 100
});

db.execute('SELECT item, description FROM item where item = ?', ['01-10-239'], function(err, result, rows) {
    rows.forEach(function(row) {
        console.log('Row: %j', row);
    });
});

The exception i see in apigee-edge logs are: "Script node executed prematurely: syntax error at module.js:439 at module.js:474 at module.js:356 at module.js:312 at module.js:497 at startup (trireme.js:142) at trireme.js:923" exception

But this code runs fine locally using command "trireme app.js".

Would appreciate if any one can provide pointers for the root cause of the error.

People, any suggestion you have for me? My guess is it might because the trireme-jdbc version on APIGEE EDGE private cloud may be old. Other than getting APIGEE patch for fixing this is there anything else i can try at my end?

Also i see this error is during compilation itself. I am trying to connect to a db by loading db specfic jdbc driver jar file. I looked at most options i could think off, is there a way to connect to db, without loading jar file? (Its is broad question :))
