@SASScope("ALL") @BinaryCompatibilityOnly public interface ConnectionFactoryInterface extends ConnectionFactoryShellInterface
User interface for connection factories. The factory controls the lifetime of a connection. When a request for a connection arrives, the factory will return an existing pooled connection if one is available, or it will create a new connection if necessary. Users must notify the factory when they are done with the connection so it can be returned to the pool or destroyed. The connection handle provides the necessary notification method.

A factory may have a limit on the number of connections it is allowed to create and manage at a time. If a factory allocates all the connections it is allowed to managed to users, and a new request for a connection arrives, the factory will not be able to serve the request immediately. The various getConnection() methods provide flags and defaults that allow the caller to specify how long he or she is willing to wait for another user to return a connection to the factory's pool.

  • Method Details

    • getConnection

      ConnectionInterface getConnection() throws ConnectionFactoryException
      Get a connection to a server that does not require a user name and password for connections. If the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to users when this call is made, then this call will block until another user returns a connection to the factory's pool. The server must belong to an authentication domain with name "" (empty string).
      Returns:
      a connection
      Throws:
      ConnectionFactoryException - if the factory cannot create a connection to satisfy this request or if the factory has been shutdown

    • getConnection

      ConnectionInterface getConnection(String domain) throws ConnectionFactoryException
      Get a connection to a server that does not require a user name and password for connections. If the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to users when this call is made, then this call will block until another user returns a connection to the factory's pool. The server must belong to an authentication domain with the given name.
      Parameters:
      domain - the authentication domain for the server
      Returns:
      a connection
      Throws:
      ConnectionFactoryException - if the factory cannot create a connection to satisfy this request or if the factory has been shutdown

    • getConnection

      ConnectionInterface getConnection(long waitMilliseconds) throws ConnectionFactoryException
      Get a connection to a server that does not require a user name and password for connections. If the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to users when this call is made, then this call will behave as instructed by the value of waitMilliseconds. The server must belong to an authentication domain with name "" (empty string).
      Parameters:
      waitMilliseconds - a flag indicating how the call should behave if the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to other users.

      <0
      throw an exception immediately
      0
      wait until another user returns a connection to the factory's pool
      >0
      wait up to waitMilliseconds milliseconds for another user to return a connection to the factory's pool and throw an exception if a connection is not returned in the alloted time.
      Returns:
      a connection
      Throws:
      ConnectionFactoryException - if the factory cannot create a connection to satisfy this request or if the request times out or if the factory has been shutdown

If the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to users when this call is made, then this call will behave as instructed by the value of waitMilliseconds. The server must belong to an authentication domain with the given name.
      Parameters:

      Returns:
      a connection
      Throws:
      ConnectionFactoryException - if the factory cannot create a connection to satisfy this request or if the request times out or if the factory has been shutdown

      ConnectionInterface getConnection(String userName, String password) throws ConnectionFactoryException
      Get a connection to a server. If the factory has allocated all the connections it is allowed to manage to users when this call is made, then this call will block until another user returns a connection to the factory's pool.
