Hello all
Just wanted to share with you my experience with using the
OracleOCIConnectionPool class as hibernate's connection pooling mechanism.
After trying both proxool and C3P0, I decided to try Oracle's native pool implementation, since I use Oracle + Oracle client with my system.
If you want to use OCI as your Hibernate's connection pooling, you first need to implement the
ConnetionProvider interface which acts as a bridge between Hibernate and the
OracleOCIConnectionPool class.
Here is my implementation:
Code:
public class OCIConnectionProvider implements ConnectionProvider {
private OracleOCIConnectionPool pool;
public OCIConnectionProvider() {
}
@Override
public void configure(Properties props) throws HibernateException {
try {
// Mandatory properties
String url = props.getProperty("connection.url");
String userName = props.getProperty("connection.username");
String password = props.getProperty("connection.password");
pool = new OracleOCIConnectionPool();
pool.setURL(url);
pool.setUser(userName);
pool.setPassword(password);
// Pool properties
Properties poolConfig = new Properties();
for (Entry<Object,Object> entry : props.entrySet()) {
if (entry.getKey().equals("oci.min_limit")) {
poolConfig.put(OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_MIN_LIMIT, entry.getValue());
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("oci.max_limit")) {
poolConfig.put(OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_MAX_LIMIT, entry.getValue());
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("oci.increment")) {
poolConfig.put(OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_INCREMENT, entry.getValue());
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("oci.timeout")) {
poolConfig.put(OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_TIMEOUT, entry.getValue());
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("oci.nowait")) {
poolConfig.put(OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_NOWAIT, entry.getValue());
}
}
pool.setPoolConfig(poolConfig);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new HibernateException("Cannot configure connection pool",e);
}
}
@Override
public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
return pool.getConnection();
}
@Override
public void closeConnection(Connection conn) throws SQLException {
conn.close();
}
@Override
public void close() throws HibernateException {
try {
pool.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new HibernateException(e);
}
}
@Override
public boolean supportsAggressiveRelease() {
return false;
}
}
As you can see, the implementation is pretty straight forward, the main thing here is to deal with properties mapping from Hibernate's config file to the properties supported by the OCI pool.
The next thing is to change the Hibernate config file to something like this:
Code:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="default_schema">MY_SCHEMA</property>
<property name="connection.provider_class">mypackage.OCIConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:oci:@myoracle</property>
<property name="connection.username">myuser</property>
<property name="connection.password">mypass</property>
<property name="oci.min_limit">1</property>
<property name="oci.max_limit">10</property>
<property name="oci.increment">1</property>
<property name="oci.timeout">10</property>
.... more configurations ....
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Note that I pass the OCI pool parameters using the session-factory parameters mechanism.
That's it basically. To run this, you need to have OCI on your machine. I am using OCI Instant Client which works great and is small

Hope this helps, I would love the get comments / tips regarding this issue .
