Storing Sessions in the Session Manager Instance

Although Oracle recommends that you export all session instances from TopLink Workbench to one or more sessions.xml files, alternatively, you can manually create a session in your application and, as Example 78-13 illustrates, manually store it in the session manager using SessionManager method addSession. Then, you can acquire a session by name using the SessionManager method getSession.

Note: The addSession method is not necessary if you are loading sessions from a session configuration file.

Example 78-13 Storing Sessions Manually in the Session Manager

// create and log in to the session programmatically
Session theSession = project.createDatabaseSession();
theSession.login();
// store the session in the SessionManager instance
SessionManager manager = SessionManager.getManager();
manager.addSession("mysession", theSession);
// retrieve the session
Session session = SessionManager.getManager().getSession("mysession");
