Interface PoolMatchFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConnectionManagerImpl

public interface PoolMatchFactory

The interface PoolMatchFactory defines the object used by a Pool to test if a given resource of a Pool matches with the hints passed with the Pool getResource method. It also allows such a Pool to allocate a Object as needed, conforming to the passed hints.

Method Summary

Object	createResource(Object hints) createResource creates a new Object.
ValidatingManagedConnectionFactory	getValidatingMCFactory()
boolean	matchResource(Object pr, Object hints) matchResource tests if a given resource of a Pool matches with the hints passed with the Pool getResource method.
Object	matchResource(Set res, Object hints) matchResource tests if a given resource of a Pool matches with the hints passed with the Pool getResource method.
void	releaseResource(Object pr) releaseResource make sure that any cleanup needed for this entry is done
