public class IMSConnectionFactory
implements Serializable
extends Object
The IMSConnectionFactory class provides an interface for getting connections to IMS Connect and, in turn, IMS OTMA. Connections are represented by IMSConnection instances, and are application-level handles to underlying physical connections such as TCP/IP sockets or Local Option connections. An application that uses the Common Client Interface (CCI) can look up an IMSConnectionFactory instance from the JNDI namespace and then use it to get an IMSConnection instance. This method is typically used when running in the managed environment of an application server such as WebSphere. For example:
IMSConnectionFactory cf = null; Context ctx = null; // Create the initial context ctx = new InitialContext(); // Get an IMSConnectionFactory instance. cf = (IMSConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/myIMSTarget");
If JNDI is not configured, a CCI application can manually configure an IMSManagedConnectionFactory object and use it to obtain a connection factory. This method can be used in a non-managed environment such as running outside of an application server, in development mode, or when JNDI lookup fails.
IMSConnectionFactory cf = null; IMSManagedConnectionFactory mcf = new IMSManagedConnectionFactory(); mcf.setHostName("myHostName"); mcf.setPortNumber(new Integer(9999)); mcf.setDataStoreName("myIMS"); ... cf = (IMSConnectionFactory) mcf.createConnectionFactory();
Constructor | Description |
IMSConnectionFactory() | Creates an IMSConnectionFactory instance. |
IMSConnectionFactory(javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager) | This constructor is used by IMSManagedConnectionFactory to create an IMSConnectionFactory instance. |
Method | Description |
javax.resource.cci.Connection getConnection() | Gets a connection to a particular IMS Connect instance and, in turn, to a particular IMS OTMA. |
javax.resource.cci.Connection getConnection(javax.resource.cci.ConnectionSpec) | Gets a connection to a particular IMS Connect instance and, in turn, to a particular IMS OTMA. |
ResourceAdapterMetaData getMetaData() | Returns meta information about IMS Connector for Java, the resource adapter. |
RecordFactory getRecordFactory() | Gets a RecordFactory (not supported). |
Reference getReference() | |
void setReference(Reference) | Sets the reference instance. |
public IMSConnectionFactory()Creates an IMSConnectionFactory instance.
public IMSConnectionFactory(javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager aConnectionManager)This constructor is used by IMSManagedConnectionFactory to create an IMSConnectionFactory instance.
- Parameters
- aConnectionManager - The connection manager to be used to manage the connections created by this IMSConnectionFactory instance. The Connection Manager could be DefaultConnectionManager for the non-managed case or a connection manager provided by the application server in the managed case.
public javax.resource.cci.Connection getConnection() throws ResourceExceptionGets a connection to a particular IMS Connect instance and, in turn, to a particular IMS OTMA. This variant of the getConnection() method is used when the component requires the container to manage sign-on to IMS Connect/IMS (which is called container-managed sign-on), and does not need to send any other IMSConnectionSpec properties such as clientID.
- Returns
- An IMSConnection instance.
- Throws
javax.resource.ResourceException
Failed to get an IMSConnection instance.
- See Also
public javax.resource.cci.Connection getConnection(javax.resource.cci.ConnectionSpec aConnectionSpec) throws ResourceExceptionGets a connection to a particular IMS Connect instance and, in turn, to a particular IMS OTMA. This variant of the getConnection() method is used when a component needs to pass resource adapter specific security information and additional connection parameters.
- For the IMS resource adapter, security information includes userName, password, and groupName. This information is provided in the component-managed sign-on case.
- For the IMS resource adapter, additional connection parameters include the clientID. A value for clientID must be passed when the application is using a dedicated persistent socket connection to IMS Connect.
Both the security information and additional connection parameters are passed in an IMSConnectionSpec object.
Note: This will always be the version of getConnection used for component-managed sign-on.
- Parameters
- aConnectionSpec - An IMSConnectionSpec instance containing security and/or connection information provided by the component.
- Returns
- An IMSConnection instance.
- Throws
javax.resource.ResourceException
If failed to get an IMSConnection instance.
- See Also
public ResourceAdapterMetaData getMetaData() throws ResourceExceptionReturns meta information about IMS Connector for Java, the resource adapter. An invocation of this method does not require that an active connection to IMS via IMS Connect exists.
- Returns
- An IMSResourceAdapterMetaData instance containing information about IMS Connector for Java.
public RecordFactory getRecordFactory() throws ResourceExceptionGets a RecordFactory (not supported).
Note: RecordFactory is not supported by IMS Connector for Java.
- Returns
- A RecordFactory instance.
- Throws
javax.resource.ResourceExecption
Note: The derived exception javax.resource.NotSupportedExecption is thrown by getRecordFactory().
public final Reference getReference() throws NamingException
- Returns
- A javax.naming.Reference instance.
public final void setReference(Reference aRef)Sets the reference instance.
- Parameters
- aRef - The reference instance to set.
