Introduction</h3> <p>Many web applications need to access a database via a JDBC driver, to support the functionality required by that application. The Java EE Platform Specification requires Java EE Application Servers to make available a <em>DataSource</em> implementation (that is, a connection pool for JDBC connections) for this purpose. Tomcat offers exactly the same support, so that database-based applications you develop on Tomcat using this service will run unchanged on any Java EE server.</p> <p>For information about JDBC, you should consult the following:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/">http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/</a> - Home page for information about Java Database Connectivity.</li> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/spec2/jdbc2.1.frame.html">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/spec2/jdbc2.1.frame.html</a> - The JDBC 2.1 API Specification.</li> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/jdbc20.stdext.pdf">http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/jdbc20.stdext.pdf</a> - The JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API (including the <code>javax.sql.DataSource</code> API).

However, it is possible to use any other connection pool that implements <code>javax.sql.DataSource</code>, by writing your own custom resource factory, as described <a href="#Adding Custom Resource Factories">below</a>.</p> <h3>1. Install Your JDBC Driver</h3> <p>Use of the <em>JDBC Data Sources</em> JNDI Resource Factory requires that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code> directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource factory and to your application.</p> <h3>2.

(For backwards compatibility, the property <code>driverName</code> is also recognized.)</li> <li><strong>initialSize</strong> - The initial number of connections that will be created in the pool during pool initialization. Default: 0</li> <li><strong>maxActive</strong> - The maximum number of connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. Default: 8</li> <li><strong>minIdle</strong> - The minimum number of connections that will sit idle in this pool at the same time. Default: 0</li> <li><strong>maxIdle</strong> - The maximum number of connections that can sit idle in this pool at the same time. Default: 8</li> <li><strong>maxWait</strong> - The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception. Default: -1 (infinite)</li> </ul> <p>Some additional properties handle connection validation:</p> <ul> <li><strong>validationQuery</strong> - SQL query that can be used by the pool to validate connections before they are returned to the application. If specified, this query MUST be an SQL SELECT statement that returns at least one row.</li> <li><strong>validationQueryTimeout</strong> - Timeout in seconds for the validation query to return. Default: -1 (infinite)</li> <li><strong>testOnBorrow</strong> - true or false: whether a connection should be validated using the validation query each time it is borrowed from the pool. Default: true</li> <li><strong>testOnReturn</strong> - true or false: whether a connection should be validated using the validation query each time it is returned to the pool. Default: false</li> </ul> <p>The optional evictor thread is responsible for shrinking the pool by removing any conections which are idle for a long time. The evictor does not respect <code>minIdle</code>. Note that you do not need to activate the evictor thread if you only want the pool to shrink according to the configured <code>maxIdle</code> property.</p> <p>The evictor is disabled by default and can be configured using the following properties:</p> <ul> <li><strong>timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis</strong> - The number of milliseconds between consecutive runs of the evictor. Default: -1 (disabled)</li> <li><strong>numTestsPerEvictionRun</strong> - The number of connections that will be checked for idleness by the evitor during each run of the evictor. Default: 3</li> <li><strong>minEvictableIdleTimeMillis</strong> - The idle time in milliseconds after which a connection can be removed from the pool by the evictor. Default: 30*60*1000 (30 minutes)</li> <li><strong>testWhileIdle</strong> - true or false: whether a connection should be validated by the evictor thread using the validation query while sitting idle in the pool. Default: false</li> </ul> <p>Another optional feature is the removal of abandoned connections. A connection is called abandoned if the application does not return it to the pool for a long time. The pool can close such connections automatically and remove them from the pool. This is a workaround for applications leaking connections.</p> <p>The abandoning feature is disabled by default and can be configured using the following properties:</p> <ul> <li><strong>removeAbandoned</strong> - true or false: whether to remove abandoned connections from the pool. Default: false</li> <li><strong>removeAbandonedTimeout</strong> - The number of seconds after which a borrowed connection is assumed to be abandoned. Default: 300</li> <li><strong>logAbandoned</strong> - true or false: whether to log stack traces for application code which abandoned a statement or connection. This adds serious overhead. Default: false</li> </ul> <p>Finally there are various properties that allow further fine tuning of the pool behaviour:</p> <ul> <li><strong>defaultAutoCommit</strong> - true or false: default auto-commit state of the connections created by this pool. Default: true</li> <li><strong>defaultReadOnly</strong> - true or false: default read-only state of the connections created by this pool. Default: false</li> <li><strong>defaultTransactionIsolation</strong> - This sets the default transaction isolation level. Can be one of <code>NONE</code>, <code>READ_COMMITTED</code>, <code>READ_UNCOMMITTED</code>, <code>REPEATABLE_READ</code>, <code>SERIALIZABLE</code>. Default: no default set</li> <li><strong>poolPreparedStatements</strong> - true or false: whether to pool PreparedStatements and CallableStatements. Default: false</li> <li><strong>maxOpenPreparedStatements</strong> - The maximum number of open statements that can be allocated from the statement pool at the same time. Default: -1 (unlimited)</li> <li><strong>defaultCatalog</strong> - The name of the default catalog. Default: not set</li> <li><strong>connectionInitSqls</strong> - A list of SQL statements run once after a Connection is created. Separate multiple statements by semicolons (<code>;</code>). Default: no statement</li> <li><strong>connectionProperties</strong> - A list of driver specific properties passed to the driver for creating connections.

In the example below, we will create a factory that only knows how to create <code>com.mycompany.MyBean</code> beans from the <a href="#Generic JavaBean Resources">Generic JavaBean Resources</a> example above.</p> <h3>1. Write A Resource Factory Class</h3> <p>You must write a class that implements the JNDI service provider <code>javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory</code> inteface. Every time your web application calls <code>lookup()</code> on a context entry that is bound to this factory, the <code>getObjectInstance()</code> method is called, with the following arguments:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Object obj</strong> - The (possibly null) object containing location or reference information that can be used in creating an object. For Tomcat, this will always be an object of type <code>javax.naming.Reference</code>, which contains the class name of this factory class, as well as the configuration properties (from the <a href="config/context.html"><code><Context></code></a> for the web application) to use in creating objects to be returned.</li> <li><strong>Name name</strong> - The name to which this factory is bound relative to <code>nameCtx</code>, or <code>null</code> if no name is specified.</li> <li><strong>Context nameCtx</strong> - The context relative to which the <code>name</code> parameter is specified, or <code>null</code> if <code>name</code> is relative to the default initial context.</li> <li><strong>Hashtable environment</strong> - The (possibly null) environment that is used in creating this object. This is generally ignored in Tomcat object factories.</li> </ul> <p>To create a resource factory that knows how to produce <code>MyBean</code> instances, you might create a class like this:</p> <div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre> package com.mycompany; import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.Hashtable; import javax.naming.Context; import javax.naming.Name; import javax.naming.NamingException; import javax.naming.RefAddr; import javax.naming.Reference; import javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory; public class MyBeanFactory implements ObjectFactory { public Object getObjectInstance(Object obj, Name name, Context nameCtx, Hashtable environment) throws NamingException { // Acquire an instance of our specified bean class MyBean bean = new MyBean(); // Customize the bean properties from our attributes Reference ref = (Reference) obj; Enumeration addrs = ref.getAll(); while (addrs.hasMoreElements()) { RefAddr addr = (RefAddr) addrs.nextElement(); String name = addr.getType(); String value = (String) addr.getContent(); if (name.equals("foo")) { bean.setFoo(value); } else if (name.equals("bar")) { try { bean.setBar(Integer.parseInt(value)); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { throw new NamingException("Invalid 'bar' value " + value); } } } // Return the customized instance return (bean); } } </pre></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr></table></div> <p>In this example, we are unconditionally creating a new instance of the <code>com.mycompany.MyBean</code> class, and populating its properties based on the parameters included in the <code><ResourceParams></code> element that configures this factory (see below). You should note that any parameter named <code>factory</code> should be skipped - that parameter is used to specify the name of the factory class itself (in this case, <code>com.mycompany.MyBeanFactory</code>) rather than a property of the bean being configured.</p> <p>For more information about <code>ObjectFactory</code>, see the <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/docs.html">JNDI 1.2 Service Provider Interface (SPI) Specification</a>.</p> <p>You will need to compile this class against a class path that includes all of the JAR files in the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code> directory. When you are through, place the factory class (and the corresponding bean class) unpacked under <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>, or in a JAR file inside <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>. In this way, the required class files are visible to both Catalina internal resources and your web application.</p> <h3>2. Declare Your Resource Requirements</h3> <p>Next, modify your web application deployment descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) to declare the JNDI name under which you will request new instances of this bean. The simplest approach is to use a <code><resource-env-ref></code> element, like this:</p> <div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre> <resource-env-ref> <description> Object factory for MyBean instances. </description> <resource-env-ref-name> bean/MyBeanFactory </resource-env-ref-name> <resource-env-ref-type> com.mycompany.MyBean </resource-env-ref-type> <resource-env-ref> </pre></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr></table></div> <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - Be sure you respect the element ordering that is required by the DTD for web application deployment descriptors!

Code Your Application's Use Of This Resource</h3> <p>A typical use of this resource environment reference might look like this:</p> <div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre> Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); MyBean bean = (MyBean) envCtx.lookup("bean/MyBeanFactory"); writer.println("foo = " + bean.getFoo() + ", bar = " + bean.getBar()); </pre></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr></table></div> <h3>4. Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory</h3> <p>To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an elements like this to the <a href="config/context.html"><code><Context></code></a> element for this web application.</p> <div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre> <Context ...> ... <Resource name="bean/MyBeanFactory" auth="Container" type="com.mycompany.MyBean" factory="com.mycompany.MyBeanFactory" bar="23"/> ... </Context> </pre></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr></table></div> <p>Note that the resource name (here, <code>bean/MyBeanFactory</code> must match the value specified in the web application deployment descriptor. We are also initializing the value of the <code>bar</code> property, which will cause <code>setBar(23)</code> to be called before the new bean is returned. Because we are not initializing the <code>foo</code> property (although we could have), the bean will contain whatever default value is set up by its constructor.</p> <p>You will also note that, from the application developer's perspective, the declaration of the resource environment reference, and the programming used to request new instances, is identical to the approach used for the <em>Generic JavaBean Resources</em> example. This illustrates one of the advantages of using JNDI resources to encapsulate functionality - you can change the underlying implementation without necessarily having to modify applications using the resources, as long as you maintain compatible APIs.</p> </blockquote></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr class="noPrint"><td width="20%" valign="top" nowrap class="noPrint"></td><td width="80%" valign="top" align="left"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td bgcolor="#525D76"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica.sanserif"><a name="comments_section" id="comments_section"><strong>Comments</strong></a></font></td></tr><tr><td><blockquote><p class="notice"><strong>Notice: </strong>This comments section collects your suggestions on improving documentation for Apache Tomcat.<br><br> If you have trouble and need help, read <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/findhelp.html">Find Help</a> page and ask your question on the tomcat-users <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html">mailing list</a>.
