6.2. BasicXARecovery Example for Failure Recovery


This class implements the XAResourceRecovery interface for XAResources. The parameter supplied in setParameters can contain arbitrary information necessary to initialize the class once created. Here, it contains the name of the property file containing database connection information, as well as the number of connections that this file knows about. Values are separated by semi-colons.
It is important to understand that this is only an example, and does not contain everything which the XAResourceRecovery is capable of. In real life, it is not recommended to store database connection information such as user names and passwords in a raw text file, as this example does.
The db parameters specified in the property file are assumed to be in the format:
  • DB_x_DatabaseURL=
  • DB_x_DatabaseUser=
  • DB_x_DatabasePassword=
  • DB_x_DatabaseDynamicClass=
Where x is the number of the connection information.

Note

Some error handling code has been removed from this text to make it more concise.
