Interface EManagedConnectionFactory

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CobolTestManagedConnectionFactory, JDBCManagedConnectionFactory, OffLineManagedConnectionFactory, TestCustomerManagedConnectionFactory

public interface EManagedConnectionFactory
extends Serializable

EManagedConnectionFactory instance is a factory of both EManagedConnection and connector-specific connection factory instances. This interface supports connection pooling by providing methods for matching and creation of EManagedConnection instance.

Method Summary

Object	createConnectionFactory() This method creates a Connection Factory instance
Object	createConnectionFactory(EConnectionManager cm) This method creates a Connection Factory instance.
EManagedConnection	createManagedConnection(String properties) This method creates a new physical connection to the underlying Connector resource manager
boolean	equals(Object other) This method checks if this EManagedConnectionFactory is equal to another EManagedConnectionFactory
EManagedConnection	matchManagedConnections(Set connectionSet, String properties) This method returns a matched connection from the candidate set of connections

Method Detail

createConnectionFactory

Object createConnectionFactory()

This method creates a Connection Factory instance

Returns:

Connection Factory instance.

createConnectionFactory

Object createConnectionFactory(EConnectionManager cm)

This method creates a Connection Factory instance. The Connection Factory instance gets initialized with the passed EConnectionManager. In the managed scenario, a Connection Manager is provided by the application server. In a non-managed scenario, it is provided by the connector provider, or the application developers.

Parameters:

cm - The connection manager to be associated with this connection factory instance.

Returns:

Connection Factory instance

createManagedConnection

EManagedConnection createManagedConnection(String properties)

This method creates a new physical connection to the underlying Connector resource manager

Parameters:

properties - additional connector specific connection request information (as a semi-colon delimited String)

Returns:

EManagedConnection instance

equals

boolean equals(Object other)

This method checks if this EManagedConnectionFactory is equal to another EManagedConnectionFactory

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

other - Another instance of an EManagedConnectionFactory

Returns:

true if two instances are equal

matchManagedConnections

EManagedConnection matchManagedConnections(Set connectionSet,
                                           String properties)

This method returns a matched connection from the candidate set of connections

Parameters:

connectionSet - The candidate Set of connections

properties - Any connection specific information required by the connector.

Returns:

A matching EManagedConnection instance
