Class ERXJDBCConnectionBroker

java.lang.Object

er.extensions.jdbc.ERXJDBCConnectionBroker

All Implemented Interfaces:

ERXJDBCAdaptor.ConnectionBroker

public class ERXJDBCConnectionBroker
extends Object
implements ERXJDBCAdaptor.ConnectionBroker

Creates and manages a pool of JDBC connections. Useful for SQL statements without using / blocking EOF. Maintains one broker per each distinct connection dictionary. Connections are created on demand but not freed. You can change the behaviour of the broker by setting some parameters either via the system properties as dbSomePropertyGLOBAL, ModelName.DBSomeProperty or as someProperty in the connection dictionary.

minConnections

Minimum number of connections, default 1

maxConnections

Maximum number of connections, default 1

maxCheckout

Maximum number of seconds a connection should stay checked out, default 600

connectionRecycle

Number of days a connection should stay active, default 1.0

The ERXConfigurationManager adds these entries to each EOModels connectionDictionary.

Usage: check out a connection:

 java.sql.Connection con = ERXJDBCConnectionBroker.connectionBrokerForModel(myModel).getConnection();
 try {
     java.sql.Statement s = con.createStatement();
     //now do something with the Statement
 } finally {
     ERXJDBCConnectionBroker.connectionBrokerForModel(myModel).freeConnection(con);
 }

getConnection

public Connection getConnection()

This method hands out the connections in round-robin order. This prevents a faulty connection from locking up an application entirely. A browser 'refresh' will get the next connection while the faulty connection is cleaned up by the housekeeping thread. If the min number of threads are ever exhausted, new threads are added up the the max thread count. Finally, if all threads are in use, this method waits 2 seconds and tries again, up to ten times. After that, it returns a null.

freeConnection

public void freeConnection(Connection conn)

Frees a connection. Replaces connection back into the main pool for reuse.
