Thankyou for the response Gerhard, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.  I still 
get the error "java.lang.NullPointerException: There was no DataSourceFactory 
configured for the connection newDatabase".  I am using Torque version 3.1.  I read 
that they have changed the re-entry to the initialize method from earlier versions.

Torque is a static wapper for the TorqueInstance class.  The 
TorqueInstance.init(Configuration) method calls setConfiguration(Configuration) and 
then initialize().  Inside the initialize() method there is an if statement that 
checks if Torque has already been initialized.  If so, then simply returns and the 
adapters and data source factories are not initialized. I think this is a safety 
measure as the initialize() method also creates new hashmaps for mapping databases to 
adapters and data source factories which would override existing maps.  If the 
creation of these hashmaps were done else where, then it might be easier.

At this stage I am comptemplating creating a class that inherits from TorqueInstance 
and has the ablility to add to the hashmaps.

You have to start a new configuration with
Configuration c = (Configuration)new PropertiesConfiguration("Torque.properties");
Then change youtr properties and finally call
Torque.init(c);
At least that worked for me.

Betreff: How to dynamically add new database to Torque


        I am trying to find a way to dynamically add a new database to Torque after it 
as already been initialized.  I tried retreiving the configuration from Torque and 
then adding properties that would normally have appeared in the torque.properties 
file, then called Torque.init(configuration), or 
Torque.setConfiguration(configuration),
but these didn't work.  After looking at the source code, it was easy to see why.  So 
does anyone have an alternative for the following:

Configuration config = Torque.getConfiguration();
//add adpater information
config.addProperty( "database.newDatabase.adapter", "mysql" );  
//add pooling information
config.addProperty( "dsfactory.newDatabase.factory", 
"org.apache.torque.dsfactory.SharedPoolDataSourceFactory" ); config.addProperty( 
"dsfactory.newDatabase.defaultMaxActive", "10" ); config.addProperty( 
"dsfactory.newDatabase.testOnBorrow", "true" ); config.addProperty( 
"dsfactory.newDatabase.validationQuery", "SELECT 1" ); config.addProperty( 
"dsfactory.newDatabase.connection.driver",
"org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" );
config.addProperty( "dsfactory.newDatabase.connection.url",
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/NewDatabase" );

Torque.init( config );
Connection newConnection = Torque.getConnection( "newDatabase" );
