connection ooling with tomcat
Posted on 2004-08-19
Hi, I understand that to get connection pooling to work with tomcat I need to modify some configuration files.
I have docs on how to do that , so thats fine.
My question is to do with whether the methods used to call the getConnection object should be synchronized or not.
Currently the getConnection method is called using synchronized methods. so that only one method can be dealing with it at one time.
Am i correct in htinking, once connection pooling is enabled, the methods which call cetConnection need not be synchronized?
The second part iof my question is what will happen if say, I have configured 15 connections to be in the pool and there comes a time when 16 are needed? will the last method to request a connection just have to wait its turn?
If so, how will i be able to test if it is working?

I would keep the getConnection method synchronized.

It depends on the algorithm used with the conneciton pool. Many servers woudl just wait for a connection to be available before proceeding, others would just create a new connection after the limit is reached.

I mean, if you call getConnection this should not be synchronized, but the implementation getConnection() of the pool is probably synchronized.

Just have a for loop that creates 16 connections, perform some long data processing and see the time it takes for each one.

I have a load of DAO methods which currently are synchronized,
what I'll do is remove synchronization form them, and make the static method which wraps the getConnection method synchronized.
Is that what you would suggest?

I think you could avoid synchronizing the call to getConnection since the container's implementation of the connection pool should be already synchronized. Maybe you want to take a look here to see how a conneciton pool is implemented: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/columns/connection_pool.html
