Developing Sun Master Indexes

ProcedureTo Create the JDBC Connection Pools

Before You Begin

If you are using an Oracle or MySQL database, add the database driver to the application server environment, as described in Step 1: Add the MySQL or Oracle Driver to the Application Server.

  1. Log in to the Sun Java System Application Server Admin Console.

    You can access the console from the Services window in NetBeans.

  2. In the left portion of the Admin Console, expand Resources, expand JDBC, and then select Connection Pools.

  3. On the Create Connection Pool page, click New.

  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the connection pool.

  5. In the Resource Type field, select the Java class for the type of transactions the master index application processes.

    • javax.sql.DataSource – Use this class if the master index application is using local transactions only.

    • javax.sql.XADataSource – Use this class if the master index application transactions are distributed, either within the application or across applications.

    • javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource – Use this class if the master index application is using local transactions only. This class provides possible performance improvements.

  6. In the Database Vendor field, select the database platform used by the master index database.

  7. Click Next.

  8. In the DataSource Classname field, accept the default class or enter a new one to use.

  9. Modify the Pool Settings properties according to your business practices.

  10. Modify the Connection Validation properties according to your business practices.

  11. Modify the Transaction properties according to whether the application supports transactional processing.

    Note –

    Make sure you configure Transaction properties to match the transaction mode you specified for the master index application and the connection pool Resource Type you selected.

  12. In the additional properties section, enter the values for the master index database. Be sure to enter the following information at a minimum (you might need to create some of these properties).

    • For Oracle:

      • URL – The URL that points to the database. The syntax of the URL is jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:database_name.

        Note –

        If you are using a third-party JDBC driver, refer to the documentation for that driver for information about the URL.

      • user – The login ID for the user you created in Step 2: Create a Master Index Database and User.

      • password – The password for the above user.

      • ImplicitCachingEnabled – An indicator of whether implicit statement caching is enabled. Set this property to true.

      • MaxStatements – The maximum number of statements in the cache. Set this property to 1000.

    • For MySQL:

      • URL – The URL that points to the database. The syntax of the URL is jdbc:mysql://server:port/database_name.

        Note –

        If you are using a third-party JDBC driver, refer to the documentation for that driver for information about the URL.

      • user – The login ID for the user you created in Step 2: Create a Master Index Database and User.

      • password – The password for the above user.

      • DatabaseName – The name of the database.

    • For Microsoft SQL Server:

      • URL – The URL that points to the database. The syntax of the URL is jdbc:mysql://server:port:database_name.

        Note –

        If you are using a third-party JDBC driver, refer to the documentation for that driver for information about the URL.

      • user – The login ID for the user you created in Step 2: Create a Master Index Database and User.

      • password – The password for the above user.

      • SendStringParametersAsUnicdoe – An indicator of whether string parameters are sent to the database in Unicode or in the default character encoding of the database. Set this property to false.

      • MaxPooledStatements – The maximum number of prepared statements in the cache. Set this property to 1000.

  13. Follow the previous steps again to create another connection pool for the sequence manager.

  14. Continue to Step 3: Create the JDBC Resources.
