Class JNDIConnectionPool

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ConnectionPool

    public class JNDIConnectionPool
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements ConnectionPool
    A Connection Pool that wraps a JDBC datasource to provide connections. An instance of this class is created by XConnection when it attempts to resolves a ConnectionPool name as a JNDI data source. Most methods in this implementation do nothing since configuration is handled by the underlying JDBC datasource. Users should always call XConnection.close() from their stylsheet to explicitely close their connection. However, since there is no way to enforce this (Yikes!), it is recommended that a relatively short datasource timeout be used to prevent dangling connections.

        public boolean isEnabled()

        Returns:
      • setDriver

        public void setDriver​(java.lang.String d)

        Parameters:
        d -
      • setURL

        public void setURL​(java.lang.String url)
        Not implemented and will throw an Error if called. Connection configuration is handled by the underlying JNDI DataSource.

        p - the password

        Description copied from interface: ConnectionPool
        Provide a mechinism to return a connection to the pool on Error. A good default behaviour is to close this connection and build a new one to replace it. Some JDBC impl's won't allow you to reuse a connection after an error occurs.
        Specified by:
        releaseConnectionOnError in interface ConnectionPool
        Throws:
        java.sql.SQLException
      • setPoolEnabled

        public void setPoolEnabled​(boolean flag)
        Releases the reference to the jndi datasource. The original intention of this method was to actually turn the pool *off*. Since we are not managing the pool, we simply release our reference to the datasource. Future calls to the getConnection will simply recreate the datasource.
        Specified by:
        setPoolEnabled in interface ConnectionPool
        Parameters:
        flag - If false, the reference to the datasource is released.
      • setProtocol

        public void setProtocol​(java.util.Properties p)
        Ignored in this implementation b/c the pooling is determined by the jndi dataosource.
        Specified by:
        setProtocol in interface ConnectionPool
        Parameters:
        p -
      • setMinConnections

        public void setMinConnections​(int n)
        Ignored in this implementation b/c the pooling is determined by the jndi dataosource.
        Specified by:
        setMinConnections in interface ConnectionPool
        Parameters:
        n -
      • testConnection

        public boolean testConnection()
        A simple test to see if the jndi datasource exists. Note that this test does not ensure that the datasource will return valid connections.
        Specified by:
        testConnection in interface ConnectionPool
