Hi,

I've played around with query cancellation a couple of years ago (on Oracle btw), the strategy I found to be least intrusive was to wrap the JDBC connection/statements in my own Connection/*Statement classes and let statements register themselves somewhere accessible from other threads on creation and unregister on .close() before delegating to the inner instance.

How you glue in the wrapped JDBC objects depends on your setup - you could create your own wrapping Driver or DataSource/DataSourceFactory.

On my part it was an attempt to isolate the query cancellation stuff from an old webapp framework in order to be able to eliminate lots of home rolled jdbc/transaction handling and make it easier to integrate things like spring and cayenne, while maintaining the original feature-set (which included query cancellation). In the end it turned out that query cancellation wasn't really necessary and it was replaced by a fixed transaction timeout instead. (Simple cancellation was a breeze, but allowing the user to choose whether he would cancel or force a long-running query turned out to be a mess in our case)

Hth!

Hello,

I have written a small application in java that interacts with db2 using
apache cayenne.
The application sends a long running query to the db2 server and awaits
response. The query starts executing from within SwingWorker's
doInBackground() method. During the query's execution, a cancel button
appears allowing the user to cancel the operation. When clicked,
SwingWorker's cancel() is called and everything seems to work fine regarding
java code. The SwingWorker thread is canceled (I can confirm that). But,
unfortunately, the other thread running the query doesn't stop (or perhaps
it stops but the query is already being processed by db2 until finished).

Is there any way to stop the query using cayenne specific methods? I tried
to create a new DataContext and bind it to the running thread (the following
code is executed inside doInBackground():

BaseContext.bindThreadObjectContext(DataContext.createDataContext());
ObjectContext oc = BaseContext.getThreadObjectContext();

return oc.performQuery(longRunQuery);

No success.

Thank you,
Nikos
