public interface DataStoreHelper

The DataStoreHelper interface allows users to plug in datastore-specific functionality required by the Relational Resource Adapter runtime. WebSphere provides a DataStoreHelper implementation for each supported JDBC provider. In addition, WebSphere provides a GenericDataStoreHelper class, which can be subclassed to add the functionality necessary for the Relational Resource Adapter to interoperate with SQL99 compliant JDBC drivers not officially supported by WebSphere.

Custom DataStoreHelper implementations are required to inherit from the GenericDataStoreHelper class, as WebSphere does not support direct implementation of the DataStoreHelper interface. New releases of WebSphere might involve changes to the DataStoreHelper interface. These changes are picked up automatically by custom helpers only if they inherit from GenericDataStoreHelper. Custom helpers that do not inherit from GenericDataStoreHelper might encounter compile problems and runtime errors.

Note: This interface can not be referenced directly by user applications.

WAS 5.0

Method Detail

isDuplicateKey

boolean isDuplicateKey(java.sql.SQLException sqlX)

The application server invokes this method to determine whether or not the specified error indicates a duplicate key violation. The method is invoked regardless of the data source's error detection model.

Parameters:
sqlX - the error.
Returns:
true if the error indicates a duplicate key violation, otherwise false.

mapException

java.sql.SQLException mapException(java.sql.SQLException e)

The application server uses this API to replace java.sql.SQLExceptions with the exceptions defined in the map if the data source's error detection model is configured to exception mapping. If configured to exception checking, then the application server consults the map to help determine the cause of the error, but does not replace the exception.

This method maps the specified SQLException to a corresponding com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.PortableSQLException subclass. If no corresponding com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.PortableSQLException subclass is found, the SQLException is returned unchanged.

Parameters:
e - a SQLException.
Returns:
a com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.PortableSQLException subclass corresponding to the specified SQLException, or the unchanged SQLException if no match is found.
See Also:
SQLException, PortableSQLException

                     throws javax.resource.ResourceException
This method determines the result set type based on the specified AccessIntent. If the AccessIntent parameter is null, the a default value of java.sql.ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD must be returned. Currently all DataStoreHelper subclasses provided by WebSphere return java.sql.ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD.

Parameters:
intent - An AccessIntent.
Returns:
A result set type constant defined on java.sql.ResultSet.
Throws:
javax.resource.ResourceException - If a result set type cannot be determined from the AccessIntent.
See Also:
AccessIntent, ResultSet

getResultSetConcurrency

int getResultSetConcurrency(AccessIntent intent)
                            throws javax.resource.ResourceException
This method determines the result set concurrency based on the specified AccessIntent. If the AccessIntent parameter is null, a default value of java.sql.ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY must be returned.

Parameters:
intent - An AccessIntent.
Returns:
A result set concurrency constant defined on java.sql.ResultSet.
Throws:
javax.resource.ResourceException - If a result set concurrency cannot be determined from the AccessIntent.
See Also:
AccessIntent, ResultSet

doConnectionSetup

void doConnectionSetup(java.sql.Connection conn)
                       throws java.sql.SQLException

This method configures a connection before first use. This method is invoked only when a new connection to the database is created. It is not invoked when connections are reused from the connection pool.

One example of where this method is useful is the following:

The following actions are prohibited in this method:

  1. Changing any standard connection properties found on the java.sql.Connection API. This includes TransactionIsolationLevel, AutoCommit, Catalog, ReadOnly, TypeMap, and Holdability.
  2. Closing the connection.

Parameters:
conn - the connection to set up.
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if connection setup cannot be completed successfully.

isConnectionError

boolean isConnectionError(java.sql.SQLException ex)
This method determines whether a SQLException indicates a fatal connection error based on the exception map for this data store helper.

The application server uses this API to detect fatal connection errors.

Parameters:
ex - the SQLException to check.
Returns:
true if the exception indicates a fatal connection error, otherwise false.
See Also:
SQLException

doConnectionCleanup

boolean doConnectionCleanup(java.sql.Connection conn)
                            throws java.sql.SQLException

This method is used to clean up a connection before it is returned to the connection pool for later reuse. WebSphere automatically resets all standard connection properties (fields for which getters and setters are defined on java.sql.Connection). This method can be used to reset other properties proprietary to a specific JDBC driver/database, preparing the connection for reuse.

A DataStoreHelper is permitted to use the provided connection to create and execute statements for the purpose of cleaning up the connection. Any statements created within the doConnectionCleanup method must be explicitly closed within the doConnectionCleanup method. The doConnectionCleanup method must never close the connection being cleaned up.

If any standard connection properties are modified in this method, a value of true must be returned, indicating to WebSphere that at least one standard connection property was modified. A value of false should be returned only if no standard connection properties were modified.

Parameters:
conn - the connection to attempt to cleanup.
Returns:
true if any standard connection property was modified, otherwise false.
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - If an error occurs while cleaning up the connection.
See Also:
Connection

doStatementCleanup

void doStatementCleanup(java.sql.PreparedStatement stmt)
                        throws java.sql.SQLException

This method cleans up a statement before the statement is placed in the statement cache. This method is called only for statements being cached. It is called when at least one of the following statement properties has changed,

The GenericDataStoreHelper implementation for this method resets all five of the properties listed above.

The following operations do not need to be included in the statement cleanup because they are automatically performed by WebSphere when caching statements:

A helper class implementing this method can choose to do additional cleanup for the statement. However, this should never include closing the statement because the statement is intended to be cached.

Parameters:
stmt - the PreparedStatement.
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if an error occurs cleaning up the statement.

getMetaData

DataStoreHelperMetaData getMetaData()
This method returns the DataStoreHelperMetaData object associated with this DataStoreHelper.

Returns:
DataStoreHelperMetaData

getLockType

int getLockType(AccessIntent intent)
This method returns a lock type constant based on the update hint value of the specified AccessIntent. The lock type is used by the persistence manager to determine which locking hints are used on a SELECT statement.

Parameters:
intent - An AccessIntent
Returns:
the lock type constant. Valid values are defined in com.ibm.websphere.rsadaper.WSInteractionSpec:
  • LOCKTYPE_SELECT
  • LOCKTYPE_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE
  • LOCKTYPE_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE_WITH_RS
  • LOCKTYPE_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE_WITH_RR

setUserDefinedMap

void setUserDefinedMap(java.util.Map newmap)

This method configures a user-defined SQLException map that supersedes the default SQLException mappings for the DataStoreHelper. The DataStoreHelper implementations that are provided by the application server use SQLException maps to detect connection errors that can end connections, as well as other specific types of errors. A custom DataStoreHelper can alter the default mappings by invoking this method. Do not invoke this method from a custom DataStoreHelper if you also configure the userDefinedErrorMap data source custom property. When you configure the userDefinedErrorMap custom data source property, the application server invokes this method to overlay the default error mappings with the error mappings that are specified in the custom property. Do not invoke this method directly from application code.

Example usage of the setUserDefinedMap method:

    public MyCustomDataStoreHelper()
    {
       ...
       java.util.HashMap MyErrorMap = new java.util.HashMap(2);
       myErrorMap.put(new Integer(-801), MyDuplicateKeyException.class);
       myErrorMap.put(new Integer(-1015), MyStaleConnectionException.class);
       setUserDefinedMap(myErrorMap);
       ...
    }
 

User-defined exception mapping takes priority over all other exception mapping done by a DataStoreHelper. This differs from the WAS 4.0 DataSource model where mapping by Error Code always takes precedence over mapping by SQL State.

For example, assume the following exception mappings are defined:

 User-defined mappings:
 SQL State  S1000 --> UserDefinedException

 Default mappings:
 Error Code 23505 --> DuplicateKeyException
 SQL State  S1000 --> StaleConnectionException
 

Given the above mappings, if a SQLException is received with SQL State S1000 and Error Code 23505, the WebSphere DataStoreHelper implementations map the exception to UserDefinedException, whereas the WAS 4.0 DataSource map the exception to DuplicateKeyException.

Additionally, mapping done by the WebSphere DataStoreHelpers does not include mapping by chained exceptions when no match is found for the original exception.

Parameters:
newmap - a mapping of SQLException SQL States and Error Codes to com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.PortableSQLException subclasses. The key for the Map must be a String (representing the SQL State) or an Integer (representing the Error Code). The value for the Map must be a subclass of com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.PortableSQLException. User-defined subclasses are permitted, but are required to declare a public constructor accepting a SQLException as the single parameter. Void.class may also be used for the value, in which case any existing mapping for the specified SQL State or Error Code is removed.

calcPartitionNumber

short calcPartitionNumber(java.lang.String fullTableName,
                          java.util.Properties propPartKeys)
                          throws javax.resource.ResourceException
This method allows you to calculate the partition number based on the input table name and partition key properties. This method is reserved for future use and is not currently called by WebSphere.

Parameters:
fullTableName - - the fully qualified table name.
propPartKeys - - the partition key properties
Returns:
a partition number.
Throws:
javax.resource.ResourceException - any exception that occurs during the calculation of a partition key will result in a ResourceException

getPrintWriter

java.io.PrintWriter getPrintWriter()
This method is used to obtain the java.io.PrintWriter to use for logging when database logging is enabled (for example: WAS.database=all=enabled). By default, null is returned and a java.io.PrintWriter instance created by WebSphere is used. You can override this method to return a different java.io.PrintWriter instance instead of the default.

Returns:
java.io.PrintWriter.
Since:
WAS 5.0.1

getXAExceptionContents

java.lang.String getXAExceptionContents(javax.transaction.xa.XAException xae)
This method provides a plug-in point for providing meaningful logging information for an XAException. The information can include details of the original exception that caused the XAException, if applicable. WebSphere uses this method to obtain trace information for XAExceptions to include in WebSphere trace.

Parameters:
xae - the XAException.
Returns:
detailed information about the XAException, for inclusion in a WebSphere trace.
Since:
WAS 5.0.2
See Also:
XAException

modifyXAFlag

int modifyXAFlag(int xaflag)

This method is used only when the transactionBranchesLooselyCoupled custom DataSource property is set to true. This method modifies the given XA start flag. Some databases, such as Oracle, require a proprietary flag, such as OracleXAResource.ORATRANSLOOSE.

Among the DataStoreHelper subclasses provided by WebSphere, this method is a no-op for every backend except for Oracle.

Parameters:
xaflag - The XA start flag to modify.
Returns:
The modified XA start flag.
Since:
WAS 5.0.1

XAResource

isBatchUpdateSupportedWithAccessIntent

boolean isBatchUpdateSupportedWithAccessIntent(AccessIntent accessIntent)
This method is used to determine if CMP Entity Beans can support batch updates with the given AccessIntent. There are some AccessIntents (for example, WebSphere Optimistic Concurrency Control intent) for which some databases are not always capable of determining the number of updated rows. This prevents CMP Entity Beans from being able to support batch updates. In such cases, this method must return false.

Parameters:
accessIntent - AccessIntent
Returns:
boolean true if batching is allowed with the given AccessIntent, otherwise false.
Since:
WAS 5.0.2

doConnectionSetupPerTransaction

void doConnectionSetupPerTransaction(javax.security.auth.Subject sub,
                                     java.lang.String user,
                                     java.sql.Connection conn,
                                     boolean reauthRequired,
                                     java.lang.Object properties)
                                     throws java.sql.SQLException
This method is invoked by WebSphere runtime each time a connection comes out of the connection pool and only before transactions begin on that connection. This method is different from the doConnectionSetup() method which is only called when a physical connection is first created.
Implementation of this method is required if the "reauthentication" datasource custom property is set to true or if "enable reauthentication checkbox" is checked. Failure to do so might result in unpredictable behavior.
This method is not only limited to user reauthentication; users can also take advantage of this method in other situations. For example:
  • altering the identity for audit purposes
  • altering the target schema
  • Note that this method must not be used to change any of the java.sql.Connection properties.
    Note also that users might need to implement the doConnectionCleanup() method to reset the java.sql.Connection to the original state prior to calling doConnectionSetupPerTransaction
    Note also that WebSphere runtime will pass java.util.Properties object which contains a property DataStoreHelper.FIRST_TIME_CALLED. The DataStoreHelper.FIRST_TIME_CALLED is set to true when the doConnectionSetupPerTransaction is called by WebSphere runtime for the first time for any WebSphere connection. The DataStoreHelper.FIRST_TIME_CALLED is set to false thereafter.

    Parameters:
    sub - javax.security.auth.Subject for the newly requested connection. This value is null unless res-auth is set to container.
    user - java.lang.String user name of the newly requested connection. This value is specified only if the subject is null.
    conn - java.sql.Connection
    reauthRequired - boolean that indicates whether reauthentication is required on the passed connection to get the connection in sync with the subject or user name:
  • FALSE: connection is in sync with the passed subject or user name.
  • TRUE: conneciton is not in sync with the passed subject or user name. In this case, users are required to provide reauthentication implementation for the connection.
    properties - java.lang.Object WebSphere runtime passes java.util.Properties when calling this method
    Throws:
    java.sql.SQLException - if connection throws an exception.

  • doConnectionSetupPerGetConnection

    boolean doConnectionSetupPerGetConnection(java.sql.Connection conn,
                                              boolean isCMP,
                                              java.lang.Object props)
                                              throws java.sql.SQLException
    This method is invoked by WebSphere Application Server runtime before a connection handle is provided to the application. This method is called by WebSphere Application Server runtime when the connection handle provided is the only handle for the associated ManagedConnection. Thus, if connection sharing occurs, this method will not be called when additional connection handles are provided to the application for the same ManagedConnection. If connection handle usage follows a get/use/close pattern, such that the ManagedConnection has only 1 active connection handle outstanding at a time, then this method will be invoked for each getConnection call made by the application.
    This method may be overridden to provide code to set up a connection before its use by the application. This is particularly useful when dealing with CMP, where applications don't have direct access to connections.
    Note that The get/use/close pattern must be used by the application if this method is overridden.

    Parameters:
    conn - java.sql.Connection the underlying database physical connection
    isCMP - boolean: specifies if the connection is used for a CMP request or another type of request.
    props - java.lang.Object this is not used and is a place holder for future changes.
    Returns:
    boolean false indicates no connection setup is performed by this method, true otherwise. Default is false as its a no-op.
    Throws:
    java.sql.SQLException

    doConnectionCleanupPerCloseConnection

    boolean doConnectionCleanupPerCloseConnection(java.sql.Connection conn,
                                                  boolean isCMP,
                                                  java.lang.Object props)
                                                  throws java.sql.SQLException
    This method is invoked by WebSphere Application Server runtime immediately after a connection handle is closed by the application or implicitly by WebSphere Application Server runtime. If you override the doConnectionSetupPerGetConnection method to perform connection setup, then you must override this method to undo all connection setup done in the doConnectionSetupPerGetConnection method.
    This method is called by WebSphere Application Server runtime when the connection handle closed is the last active handle for the associated ManagedConnection. Thus, if connection sharing occurs, this method will not be called when additional connection handles are active for the same ManagedConnection. If connection handle usage follows a get/use/close pattern, such that the ManagedConnection has only 1 connection handle outstanding at a time, then this method will be invoked for each Connection.close call made by the application. If the end of a transaction (commit or rollback) occurs before Connection.close is called, then the connection handle is dissociated from the ManagedConnection and this method is not invoked.
    Note that the get/use/close pattern must be used by the application when this method is overridden.

    Parameters:
    conn - java.sql.Connection the underlying database physical connection
    isCMP - boolean: specifies if the connection is used for a CMP request or another type of request.
    props - java.lang.Object this is not used and is a place holder for future changes.
    Returns:
    boolean false indicates no connection cleanup is performed by this method, true otherwise. Default is false as its a no-op.
    Throws:
    java.sql.SQLException

    getPasswordForUseWithTrustedContextWithAuthentication

    java.lang.String getPasswordForUseWithTrustedContextWithAuthentication(java.lang.String identityname,
                                                                           java.lang.String realm)
                                                                           throws java.sql.SQLException
    The application server invokes this method at run time to get the password that the application server will use to establish a trusted connection using the DB2 TrustedContext "with authentication" option or when the application server switches a trusted connection to another identity, and the "with authentication" option is enabled. The password that is returned by this method will not be stored locally in the application server.
    Be aware that the application server will call this method to get the password for trusted context usage if the following is true:
  • You set the useTrustedContextWithAuthentication data source custom property to true.
  • You use the TrustedConnectionMapping login configuration.

  • Parameters:
    identityname - String: the identity of the connection to which the application server is switching and for which password is needed.
    realm - String: the realm name that is being used that can determine the identity of the user.
    Returns:
    String password that will be used when switching trusted context identity to the specified user.
    Throws:
    java.sql.SQLException

    isTransientConnectionError

    boolean isTransientConnectionError(java.sql.SQLException ex)
    This method determines whether a SQLException indicates a transient connection error. That means the current SQL operation can be retried on the existing connection, if the method returns true. Currently, implementation of this method is limited to JDBC 4.0 compliant drivers.

    Parameters:
    ex - the SQLException to check.
    Returns:
    true if the exception indicates a transient connection error, otherwise false.
    Since:
    7.0.0.19.
