All Known Implementing Classes:

ConnectionSourceSkeleton, DataSourceConnectionSource, DriverManagerConnectionSource, JNDIConnectionSource

public interface ConnectionSource
extends Component, org.apache.log4j.spi.OptionHandler

The ConnectionSource interface provides a pluggable means of transparently obtaining JDBC Connections for log4j classes that require the use of a Connection.

Method Detail

getConnection

Connection getConnection()
                  throws SQLException

Obtain a Connection for use. The client is responsible for closing the Connection when it is no longer required.

Throws:

SQLException - if a Connection could not be obtained

getSQLDialectCode

int getSQLDialectCode()

Get the SQL dialect that should be used for this connection. Note that the dialect is not needed if the JDBC driver supports the getGeneratedKeys method.

supportsGetGeneratedKeys

boolean supportsGetGeneratedKeys()

If the connection supports the JDBC 3.0 getGeneratedKeys method, then we do not need any specific dialect support.

supportsBatchUpdates

boolean supportsBatchUpdates()

If the connection does not support batch updates, we will avoid using them.
