      Modifier and Type Method Description
      void freeUnused()
      Start downsizeing the pool, this usally happens right after the pool has been marked as Inactive and we are removing connections that are not currently inuse.
      java.sql.Connection getConnection()
      Retrive a database connection from the pool
      boolean hasActiveConnections()
      Provide an indicator to the PoolManager when the Pool can be removed from the Pool Table.
      boolean isEnabled()
      Determine if a Connection Pool has been disabled.
      void releaseConnection​(java.sql.Connection con)
      Return a connection to the pool, the connection may be closed if the pool is inactive or has exceeded the max number of free connections
      void releaseConnectionOnError​(java.sql.Connection con)
      Provide a mechinism to return a connection to the pool on Error.
      void setDriver​(java.lang.String d)
      The Driver and URL are the only required parmeters.
      void setMinConnections​(int n)
      Set tne minimum number of connections that are to be maintained in the pool.
      void setPassword​(java.lang.String p)
      The rest of the protocol parameters can eiter be passed in as just Username and Password or as a property collection.
      void setPoolEnabled​(boolean flag)
      The Pool can be Enabled and Disabled.
      void setProtocol​(java.util.Properties p)
      Used to pass in extra configuration options during the database connect phase.
      void setURL​(java.lang.String url)  
      void setUser​(java.lang.String u)  
      boolean testConnection()
      Test to see if the connection info is valid to make a real connection to the database.
    • Method Detail

      • isEnabled

        boolean isEnabled()
        Determine if a Connection Pool has been disabled. If a Connection pool is disabled, then it will only manage connections that are in use.
      • setDriver

        void setDriver​(java.lang.String d)
        The Driver and URL are the only required parmeters.
        Parameters:
        d -
      • setURL

        void setURL​(java.lang.String url)
        Parameters:
        url -
      • freeUnused

        void freeUnused()
        Start downsizeing the pool, this usally happens right after the pool has been marked as Inactive and we are removing connections that are not currently inuse.
      • hasActiveConnections

        boolean hasActiveConnections()
        Provide an indicator to the PoolManager when the Pool can be removed from the Pool Table.
      • setPassword

        void setPassword​(java.lang.String p)
        The rest of the protocol parameters can eiter be passed in as just Username and Password or as a property collection. If the property collection is used, then the sperate username and password may be ignored, it is up to the wrapper implementation to handle the situation. If the connection information changes while after the pool has been established, the wrapper implementation should ignore the change and throw an error.
        Parameters:
        p -
      • setUser

        void setUser​(java.lang.String u)
        Parameters:
        u -
      • setMinConnections

        void setMinConnections​(int n)
        Set tne minimum number of connections that are to be maintained in the pool.
        Parameters:
        n -
      • testConnection

        boolean testConnection()
        Test to see if the connection info is valid to make a real connection to the database. This method may cause the pool to be crated and filled with min connections.
      • getConnection

        java.sql.Connection getConnection()
                                   throws java.sql.SQLException
        Retrive a database connection from the pool
        Throws:
        java.sql.SQLException
      • releaseConnection

        void releaseConnection​(java.sql.Connection con)
                        throws java.sql.SQLException
        Return a connection to the pool, the connection may be closed if the pool is inactive or has exceeded the max number of free connections
        Parameters:
        con -
        Throws:
        java.sql.SQLException
      • releaseConnectionOnError

        void releaseConnectionOnError​(java.sql.Connection con)
                               throws java.sql.SQLException
        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.
        Parameters:
        con -
        Throws:
        java.sql.SQLException
      • setPoolEnabled

        void setPoolEnabled​(boolean flag)
        The Pool can be Enabled and Disabled. Disabling the pool closes all the outstanding Unused connections and any new connections will be closed upon release.
        Parameters:
        flag - Control the Connection Pool. If it is enabled then Connections will actuall be held around. If disabled then all unused connections will be instantly closed and as connections are released they are closed and removed from the pool.
      • setProtocol

        void setProtocol​(java.util.Properties p)
        Used to pass in extra configuration options during the database connect phase.
