14.4. Datasource Configuration


14.4.1. Datasource Parameters

Table 14.2. Datasource parameters common to non-XA and XA datasources
Parameter Description
jndi-name The unique JNDI name for the datasource.
pool-name The name of the management pool for the datasource.
enabled Whether or not the datasource is enabled.
use-java-context
Whether to bind the datasource to global JNDI.

Enable spy functionality on the JDBC layer. This logs all JDBC traffic to the datasource. Note that the logging category jboss.jdbc.spy must also be set to the log level DEBUG in the logging subsystem.
use-ccm Enable the cached connection manager.
new-connection-sql A SQL statement which executes when the connection is added to the connection pool.
transaction-isolation
One of the following:
  • TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED
  • TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED
  • TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ
  • TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE
  • TRANSACTION_NONE
url-delimiter The delimiter for URLs in a connection-url for High Availability (HA) clustered databases.
url-selector-strategy-class-name A class that implements interface org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.URLSelectorStrategy.
security
Contains child elements which are security settings. See Table 14.7, “Security parameters”.
validation
Contains child elements which are validation settings. See Table 14.8, “Validation parameters”.
timeout
Contains child elements which are timeout settings. See Table 14.9, “Timeout parameters”.
statement
Contains child elements which are statement settings. See Table 14.10, “Statement parameters”.
Table 14.3. Non-XA datasource parameters
Parameter Description
jta Enable JTA integration for non-XA datasources. Does not apply to XA datasources.
connection-url The JDBC driver connection URL.
driver-class The fully-qualified name of the JDBC driver class.
connection-property
Arbitrary connection properties passed to the method Driver.connect(url,props). Each connection-property specifies a string name/value pair. The property name comes from the name, and the value comes from the element content.
pool
Contains child elements which are pooling settings. See Table 14.5, “Pool parameters common to non-XA and XA datasources”.
Table 14.4. XA datasource parameters
Parameter Description
xa-datasource-property
A property to assign to implementation class XADataSource. Specified by name=value. If a setter method exists, in the format setName, the property is set by calling a setter method in the format of setName(value).
xa-datasource-class
The fully-qualified name of the implementation class javax.sql.XADataSource.
driver
A unique reference to the classloader module which contains the JDBC driver. The accepted format is driverName#majorVersion.minorVersion.
xa-pool
recovery
Contains child elements which are recovery settings. See Table 14.11, “Recovery parameters”.
Table 14.5. Pool parameters common to non-XA and XA datasources
Parameter Description
min-pool-size The minimum number of connections a pool holds.
max-pool-size The maximum number of connections a pool can hold.
prefill Whether to try to prefill the connection pool. An empty element denotes a true value. The default is false.
use-strict-min Whether the pool-size is strict. Defaults to false.
flush-strategy
Whether the pool is flushed in the case of an error. Valid values are:
  • FailingConnectionOnly
  • IdleConnections
  • EntirePool
The default is FailingConnectionOnly.
allow-multiple-users Specifies if multiple users will access the datasource through the getConnection(user, password) method, and whether the internal pool type accounts for this behavior.
Table 14.6. XA pool parameters
Parameter Description
is-same-rm-override Whether the javax.transaction.xa.XAResource.isSameRM(XAResource) class returns true or false.
interleaving Whether to enable interleaving for XA connection factories.
no-tx-separate-pools
Whether to create separate sub-pools for each context. This is required for Oracle datasources, which do not allow XA connections to be used both inside and outside of a JTA transaction.
Using this option will cause your total pool size to be twice max-pool-size, because two actual pools will be created.
pad-xid Whether to pad the Xid.
wrap-xa-resource
Whether to wrap the XAResource in an org.jboss.tm.XAResourceWrapper instance.
Table 14.7. Security parameters
Parameter Description
user-name The username to use to create a new connection.
password The password to use to create a new connection.
security-domain Contains the name of a JAAS security-manager which handles authentication. This name correlates to the application-policy/name attribute of the JAAS login configuration.
reauth-plugin Defines a reauthentication plug-in to use to reauthenticate physical connections.
Table 14.8. Validation parameters
Parameter Description
valid-connection-checker
An implementation of interface org.jboss.jca.adaptors.jdbc.ValidConnectionChecker which provides a SQLException.isValidConnection(Connection e) method to validate a connection. An exception means the connection is destroyed. This overrides the parameter check-valid-connection-sql if it is present.
check-valid-connection-sql An SQL statement to check validity of a pool connection. This may be called when a managed connection is taken from a pool for use.
validate-on-match
Indicates whether connection level validation is performed when a connection factory attempts to match a managed connection for a given set.
Specifying "true" for validate-on-match is typically not done in conjunction with specifying "true" for background-validation. Validate-on-match is needed when a client must have a connection validated prior to use. This parameter is false by default.
background-validation
Specifies that connections are validated on a background thread. Background validation is a performance optimization when not used with validate-on-match. If validate-on-match is true, using background-validation could result in redundant checks. Background validation does leave open the opportunity for a bad connection to be given to the client for use (a connection goes bad between the time of the validation scan and prior to being handed to the client), so the client application must account for this possibility.
background-validation-millis The amount of time, in milliseconds, that background validation runs.
use-fast-fail
If true, fail a connection allocation on the first attempt, if the connection is invalid. Defaults to false.
stale-connection-checker
An instance of org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.StaleConnectionChecker which provides a Boolean isStaleConnection(SQLException e) method. If this method returns true, the exception is wrapped in an org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.StaleConnectionException, which is a subclass of SQLException.
exception-sorter
An instance of org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.ExceptionSorter which provides a Boolean isExceptionFatal(SQLException e) method. This method validates whether an exception is broadcast to all instances of javax.resource.spi.ConnectionEventListener as a connectionErrorOccurred message.
Table 14.9. Timeout parameters
Parameter Description
use-try-lock Uses tryLock() instead of lock(). This attempts to obtain the lock for the configured number of seconds, before timing out, rather than failing immediately if the lock is unavailable. Defaults to 60 seconds. As an example, to set a timeout of 5 minutes, set <use-try-lock>300</use-try-lock>.
blocking-timeout-millis The maximum time, in milliseconds, to block while waiting for a connection. After this time is exceeded, an exception is thrown. This blocks only while waiting for a permit for a connection, and does not throw an exception if creating a new connection takes a long time. Defaults to 30000, which is 30 seconds.
idle-timeout-minutes
The maximum time, in minutes, before an idle connection is closed. The actual maximum time depends upon the idleRemover scan time, which is half of the smallest idle-timeout-minutes of any pool.
set-tx-query-timeout
Whether to set the query timeout based on the time remaining until transaction timeout. Any configured query timeout is used if no transaction exists. Defaults to false.
query-timeout Timeout for queries, in seconds. The default is no timeout.
allocation-retry The number of times to retry allocating a connection before throwing an exception. The default is 0, so an exception is thrown upon the first failure.
allocation-retry-wait-millis
How long, in milliseconds, to wait before retrying to allocate a connection. The default is 5000, which is 5 seconds.
xa-resource-timeout
If non-zero, this value is passed to method XAResource.setTransactionTimeout.
Table 14.10. Statement parameters
Parameter Description
track-statements
Whether to check for unclosed statements when a connection is returned to a pool and a statement is returned to the prepared statement cache. If false, statements are not tracked.
  • true: statements and result sets are tracked, and a warning is issued if they are not closed.
  • false: neither statements or result sets are tracked.
  • nowarn: statements are tracked but no warning is issued. This is the default.
prepared-statement-cache-size The number of prepared statements per connection, in a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache.
share-prepared-statements
Whether asking for the same statement twice without closing it uses the same underlying prepared statement. The default is false.
Table 14.11. Recovery parameters
Parameter Description
recover-credential A username/password pair or security domain to use for recovery.
recover-plugin
An implementation of the org.jboss.jca.core.spi.recoveryRecoveryPlugin class, to be used for recovery.
