Method Detail

setDefaultKey

void setDefaultKey(PBKey key)

Set the PBKey used for convinience PersistenceBroker lookup method defaultPersistenceBroker().
Note: It's only allowed to set the default PBKey once. All further calls will cause an exception. If a default JdbcConnectionDescriptor was declared in configuration file, OJB will set the declared PBKey as default.
This method is convenience for MetadataManager.setDefaultPBKey(org.apache.ojb.broker.PBKey).

getDefaultKey

PBKey getDefaultKey()

Get the default PBKey. This method is convenience for MetadataManager.getDefaultPBKey().

createPersistenceBroker

PersistenceBrokerInternal createPersistenceBroker(PBKey key)
                                                  throws PBFactoryException

Return PersistenceBroker instance for the given PBKey.

Parameters:

key -

Throws:

PBFactoryException

createPersistenceBroker

PersistenceBrokerInternal createPersistenceBroker(java.lang.String jcdAlias,
                                                  java.lang.String user,
                                                  java.lang.String password)
                                                  throws PBFactoryException

Return a ready for action PersistenceBroker instance.

Parameters:

jcdAlias - An jcdAlias name specified in a jdbc-connection-descriptor

user - user name specified in a jdbc-connection-descriptor

password - valid password specified in a jdbc-connection-descriptor

Throws:

PBFactoryException

defaultPersistenceBroker

PersistenceBrokerInternal defaultPersistenceBroker()
                                                   throws PBFactoryException

Return a default broker instance, specified in configuration or set using setDefaultKey(org.apache.ojb.broker.PBKey).

Throws:

PBFactoryException

releaseAllInstances

void releaseAllInstances()

release all broker instances pooled by the factory. each broker instance is closed before release.

activePersistenceBroker

int activePersistenceBroker()

Returns the total number of active PersistenceBroker instances.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shutdown method for OJB, kills all running processes within OJB - after shutdown OJB can no longer be used.
This method is introduced to solve hot/redeployment problems (memory leaks) caused by the usage of ThreadLocal instances in OJB source and the reuse of threads by the container (e.g. servlet- or ejb-container).
