Interface KeyedPooledObjectFactory<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - The type of keys managed by this factory.

V - Type of element managed by this factory.

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseKeyedPooledObjectFactory, PoolingConnection

public interface KeyedPooledObjectFactory<K,V>

An interface defining life-cycle methods for instances to be served by a KeyedObjectPool.

By contract, when an KeyedObjectPool delegates to a KeyedPooledObjectFactory,

1. makeObject(K) is called whenever a new instance is needed.
2. activateObject(K, org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.PooledObject<V>) is invoked on every instance that has been passivated before it is borrowed from the pool.
3. validateObject(K, org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.PooledObject<V>) may be invoked on activated instances to make sure they can be borrowed from the pool. validateObject may also be used to test an instance being returned to the pool before it is passivated. It will only be invoked on an activated instance.
4. passivateObject is invoked on every instance when it is returned to the pool.
5. destroyObject is invoked on every instance when it is being "dropped" from the pool (whether due to the response from validateObject, or for reasons specific to the pool implementation.) There is no guarantee that the instance being destroyed will be considered active, passive or in a generally consistent state.

KeyedPooledObjectFactory must be thread-safe. The only promise an KeyedObjectPool makes is that the same instance of an object will not be passed to more than one method of a KeyedPoolableObjectFactory at a time.

While clients of a KeyedObjectPool borrow and return instances of the underlying value type V, the factory methods act on instances of PooledObject<V>. These are the object wrappers that pools use to track and maintain state informations about the objects that they manage.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	activateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> p) Reinitialize an instance to be returned by the pool.
void	destroyObject(K key, PooledObject<V> p) Destroy an instance no longer needed by the pool.
PooledObject<V>	makeObject(K key) Create an instance that can be served by the pool and wrap it in a PooledObject to be managed by the pool.
void	passivateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> p) Uninitialize an instance to be returned to the idle object pool.
boolean	validateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> p) Ensures that the instance is safe to be returned by the pool.

Method Detail

makeObject

PooledObject<V> makeObject(K key)
                    throws Exception

Create an instance that can be served by the pool and wrap it in a PooledObject to be managed by the pool.

Parameters:

key - the key used when constructing the object

Returns:

a PooledObject wrapping an instance that can be served by the pool.

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem creating a new instance, this will be propagated to the code requesting an object.

destroyObject

void destroyObject(K key,
                   PooledObject<V> p)
            throws Exception

Destroy an instance no longer needed by the pool.

It is important for implementations of this method to be aware that there is no guarantee about what state obj will be in and the implementation should be prepared to handle unexpected errors.

Also, an implementation must take in to consideration that instances lost to the garbage collector may never be destroyed.

Parameters:

key - the key used when selecting the instance

p - a PooledObject wrapping the instance to be destroyed

Throws:

Exception - should be avoided as it may be swallowed by the pool implementation.

validateObject

boolean validateObject(K key,
                       PooledObject<V> p)

Ensures that the instance is safe to be returned by the pool.

Parameters:

key - the key used when selecting the object

p - a PooledObject wrapping the instance to be validated

Returns:

false if obj is not valid and should be dropped from the pool, true otherwise.

activateObject

void activateObject(K key,
                    PooledObject<V> p)
             throws Exception

Reinitialize an instance to be returned by the pool.

Parameters:

key - the key used when selecting the object

p - a PooledObject wrapping the instance to be activated

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem activating obj, this exception may be swallowed by the pool.

destroyObject(K, org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.PooledObject<V>)

passivateObject

void passivateObject(K key,
                     PooledObject<V> p)
              throws Exception

Uninitialize an instance to be returned to the idle object pool.

Parameters:

key - the key used when selecting the object

p - a PooledObject wrapping the instance to be passivated

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem passivating obj, this exception may be swallowed by the pool.
