It's true... but half of the methods I use (only for presentation purposes,
RO querys)
Aren't transactional, BECAUSE I can't benefit from pooling, plus I don't
like some of the memory constraints it imposses me.

Still, my fault for not sharing needed-to-know info.

JP,

If the code lised below is executed within a transaction could you tell me
the benefit of closing the connection at line 3. I am assuming we are still
in the ejb server world. For a connection pooling mechanism to work requires
that the connection is in a valid state to service other client requests
(another transaction) when returned to the pool. This means that if a jdbc
transaction has been 'started' on a connection then no other transaction
other than the current transaction would be able to use it until the
connection has received a 'commit' or 'rollback' call. This means that the
calls at line 3 and 5 are not required and do not increase the scalability
of your appserver.

You don't need to pass the connection along, if you're using JDBC 2.0
complaint drivers (as is the case with Oracle's thin
named classes1xx.zip an above). In every method where you'll use the
connection, create it (calling DataSource.create()),
then use it, then close() it. In JDBC 2.0 every driver MUST implement a
connection pool. To maximize the perfomance boost
that this will give you, remember to hold on to the connection for the
shortest amounts of time you can. For example,
if within your method you connect to the db, perform so heavy calculations,
then store some results back in, you should do as follows:

(Pseudo Code)
1 - connect()
2 - executeStatement()
3 - close()
4 - Perform Calculations
5 - connect()
6 - executeStatement()
7 - close()

Tough this, in contrast with not executing steps 3 and 5, may seem to lower
the performance of your method (and in fact it does),
it makes your app more scalable (by lowering the pressure on perhaps, IMHO,
the most expensive resource of all: the database).


My 2c,

JP

Subject: Can I pass Connection object as a parameter to a Session Bean.


Dear all,

Can I pass java.sql.Connection as a parameter to a session bean.  I am
trying with Oracle thin Driver.  I am creating the java.sql.Connection
object ( using Oracle Thin Driver ) after a login screen.  If I am passing
the same as a parameter to the session object, I am getting
"ClassCastException".

Any help in this regard will be useful to me.  Is there any alternate
mechanism by which I can reuse the same Connection object created during the
Login.

Thanks in advance.

With regards
sbchand
