BC4J Application Module Pooling for JClient App

Question

Helo,
i wonder why all documentation about bc4j application module pooling available is for Web app ? (jsp) . I'm creating swing JClient app and i need some doc about how the application module pooling works in this kind of application.
anybody know where can i get those docs ?
Need help and Thank you,
Ricky H.P.

Answer 1

Connection pooling can be achieved when a JVM instance manages the pool, in 3tiers the Java App. Server has that task.
If you are 2tiers that means that you are communicating with the database through JDBC.
When a user launches your JClient app in fact he lauches his own JVM instance so I don't how he could share a pool with other users.
In your case you have at most 2 open transactions per user.
You can achieve that by sharing a same binding context with n forms composed of m panels.
Let's say:
1 main form
connection 1: forms a,b,c
connection 2: forms x,y,z
In your main form your open your 2 connections and share them.
You can achieve that by:
1) in our main form, initialize 2 binding containers
Example of one:
DCBindingContainer bc1 = this.createBindingContainer("package name","model name");
private DCBindingContainer createBindingContainer(String packageName, String panelModelName)
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(packageName);
sb.append(ViewConstants.STRING_DOT);
sb.append(panelModelName);
DCBindingContainerDef bcdef = DCBindingContainerDef.findDefObject(sb.toString()); //NOTE THE NAME.
if (bcdef == null)
throw new JboException("System error, "+getClass().getName()+".createBindingContainer, DCBindingContainerDef: "+sb.toString()+" not found");
DCBindingContainer bc = bcdef.createBindingContainer(panelBinding.getBindingContext());
bc.setName(panelModelName);
panelBinding.getBindingContext().put(panelModelName, bc);
return bc;
2) Before that the jbInit method gets called in the called form, set the binding context:
form1 = new Form1(...);
form1.setBindingContainer(bc1) ;
Example of methods in form 1 and form 2:
public void setBindingContainer(DCBindingContainer ctr)
this.panelBinding = (JUPanelBinding)ctr;
setBindingContext(ctr.getBindingContext());
public void setBindingContext(BindingContext bindCtx)
if (panelBinding.getPanel() == null)
panelBinding = panelBinding.setup(bindCtx, this);
registerProjectGlobalVariables(bindCtx);
panelBinding.refreshControl();
try
System.out.println("Form setBindingContext calling jbInit");
jbInit();
panelBinding.refreshControl();
// FL added
isBindingContextSet = true;
System.out.println("Form isBindingContextSet true");
catch(Exception ex)
System.out.println("Form setBindingContext exception caught");
panelBinding.reportException(ex);
