Hello, I have used this pooling package in the past and it is wonderful. Thanks again (Jakarta) for a wonderful product. I love you guys and gals.
I have a question. How can I change the behavior of the pooling package to load all my poolable objects initially instead of on demand. Say that I define 10 maxActives but I want to instantiate all 10 at runtime and keep them idle forever regardless of use. I wish this to be dynamic. So that I can specify this behavior at runtime (via a properties file) whether it is on demand (default behavior) or all at startup. This behavior should be similar to how Jakarta Struts allows the ability to change Poolable characteristics <object class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory" xmlns="http://apache.org/xml/xmlns/jakarta/commons/jocl";> <!-- the first argument is the ConnectionFactory --> <object class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.DriverManagerConnectionFactory"> <string value="jdbc:some:connect:string"/> <object class="java.util.Properties" null="true"/> </object> <!-- the next argument is the ObjectPool --> <object class="org.apache.commons.pool.impl.GenericObjectPool"> <object class="org.apache.commons.pool.PoolableObjectFactory" null="true"/> <int value="10"/> <!-- max active --> <byte value="1"/> <!-- when exhausted action, 0 = fail, 1 = block, 2 = grow --> <long value="2000"/> <!-- max wait --> <int value="10"/> <!-- max idle --> <boolean value="false"/> <!-- test on borrow --> <boolean value="false"/> <!-- test on return --> <long value="10000"/> <!-- time between eviction runs --> <int value="5"/> <!-- number of connections to test per eviction run --> <long value="5000"/> <!-- min evictable idle time --> <boolean value="true"/> <!-- test while idle --> </object> <!-- the next argument is the KeyedObjectPoolFactory --> <object class="org.apache.commons.pool.StackKeyedObjectPoolFactory"> <int value="5"/> <!-- max idle --> </object> <string value="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DUAL"/> <;!-- validation query --> <boolean value="false"/> <!-- default read only --> <boolean value="true"/> <!-- default auto commit --> </object>
