Sorry for the delay, out for a long weekend (gotta stay in bed on Fri 13th!).
Simple Torque Objects CAN be used with two different connection pools.
I have done this myself. However, there are some special limitations. I
spent some time wandering the code and refreshing my memory and here's
what I found.
First, you need to understand some definitions:
Simple Torque Objects - Just the core record information methods. The methods
generated by the complexObjectModel build property (e.g. the ones which
generate the methods to get the related foreign key and children objects)
do not work. The autogenerated code assumes a lot about which connection
to use.
DBSchema Name - This is a string key defined via the XML schema database
name attribute. It is used internally by Torque to tie together all the
schema "metadata" in a "DatabaseMap". This is used by Torque to determine
things like table names, column attributes, and the like.
DatabaseMap - This is the object that contains all the meta data *Map
objects related to a specific DBSchema name.
DB Connection Pool Name - This is a string key that is defined in the
Torque runtime properties, e.g. the torque.dsfactory.<DB Connection Name>.*
properties. This is eventually stored in a Database object in the
TorqueInstance.
Database Object - This is a container for information relating to a
database, e.g. the connection pool info, the dbmap, the idbroker info,
and the like. However, you can have a Database Object that does not
contain all this info (e.g. a Database object with just connection
info).
Because of historical design purposes lost in antiquity, the DB Schema
name and the DB Connection Name tend to be considered to be the same.
Many of the references to "DBName" are not clearly labeled as to which
name is meant. This has lead to some poor internal coding and a lot of
confusion. One of the goals of Torque 4.0 is to try to correct this.
So, how do you use Simple Torque objects with multiple DBs...
First, set up your connection pools in the runtime properties. E.g.
torque.dsfactory.databaseA.* and torque.dsfactory.databaseB.
Second, create all criteria element using the *Peer objects. The
DatabaseMap is populated when a *Peer class is loaded (static init).
So, all tables "Maps" you will be referencing will exist in a Database
object keyed to the DB Schema Name.
NOTE: The dbName parameter on the Criteria constructor refers to the
DB Schema Name and NOT directly to a DB Connection Pool Name. If there
is a DB Connection Pool defined with the same name, this will be used.
You need to write your code to use the methods that have a connection
parameter. E.g., TablePeer.doSelect(Criteria, Connection).
You get the connection object to use with this via the
Toque.getConnection(String name) static method. The name here is the
DB Connection Pool name.
To tie this all together with some sample code that will move data
from one DB to another one:
Criteria c = new Criteria();
c.add(TableAPeer.COLA, 4);
Connection srcConn = Torque.getConnection("databaseA");
Connection destConn = Torque.getConnection("databaseB");
try {
List results = TableAPeer.doSelect(c,srcConn);
Iterator rIt = results.iterator();
while( rIt.hasNext() ) {
TableA rec = (TableA) rIt.next();
rec.save(destConn);
}
} finally {
Torque.closeConnection(srcConn);
Torque.closeConnection(destConn);
}
