Method Detail

getConnection

public static Connection getConnection(String jndiName)
                                throws FactoryException

Return a Connection instance for a JNDI managed JDBC connection.

Parameters:

jndiName - The JNDI connection name

Returns:

a JDBC connection

Throws:

FactoryException - When the connection cannot be retrieved from JNDI

getConnection

public static Connection getConnection(ConnectionProperties poolSpec)
                                throws FactoryException

Return a Connection instance from a pool that manages JDBC driver based connections.

The driver-based connection are managed in a connection pool. The pool is created using the provided properties for both the connection and the pool spec. Once the pool has been created, it is cached (based on URL and username), and can no longer be changed. Subsequent calls to this method will return a connection from the cached pool, and changes in the pool spec (e.g. changes to the size of the pool) will be ignored.

Parameters:

poolSpec - A connection pool spec that has the driver and url configured as non-empty strings

Returns:

a JDBC connection

Throws:

FactoryException - When the connection cannot be retrieved from the pool, or the pool cannot be created

reset

public static void reset()

Resets the internal state of the factory.

This method does not release any resources that have been borrowed from the connection pools managed by this factory. To avoid resource leaks, you must close / return all connections to their pools before calling this method.
