public interface EConnection

An EConnection represents an application-level handle that is used by a client to access the underlying physical connection. The actual physical connection associated with an EConnection instance is represented by a EManagedConnection instance. A client gets an EConnection instance by using the getConnection method on an EConnectionFactory instance.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	post(java.lang.Object txns) This method posts a transaction to an Enterprise Information System.

Method Detail

close

public void close()

post

public java.lang.Object post(java.lang.Object txns)
                      throws ProcessingErrorException

This method posts a transaction to an Enterprise Information System. The object passed in must adhere to the format required by the implementation of the Connector (ie. an MQSeries Connector requires a byte array to be passed in as a transaction). All objects passed to the post method are required to be serializable so that the Connector can be run in OffLine mode.

Parameters:

txns - An object representing a transaction that will be forwarded on to the host system by the Connector imnplementation.

Returns:

The result object of a successful transaction execution. Null otherwise.

Throws:

ProcessingErrorException - if an error occurs
