You misunderstood me, I was suggesting that you simply try to
establish a connection *via* the PB - much in the same way as Ribi was
suggesting, or perhaps by executing a simple query with the broker
instance - not outside of OJB (of course this would work too).

A simpler way could be:

// depends on how you handle the PB
PersistanceBroker br = PersistenceBrokerFactory.defaultPersistenceBroker();


Connection conn = br.serviceConnectionManager().getConnection();
// here you can do any checks on the conn Object  (is closed, sample query
...).

AW: How to check if database is available

2005-09-02 Thread Hiller, Frank RD-AS2
Hi Tom,

ok, I did that.
I read the parameters for the database (protocol, subprotocol, ...) from 
database_repository.xml.
Then I try to establish a connection to the DB. If that fails the DB is not 
available.

You don't think this could be a functionality that PB API could provide?

I think that in JDBC you'd have to try to establish a connection to it and if 
that fails, then likely the database is not available (for whatever reason). 
AFAIK there is no other generic way (though individual databases may provide 
other means).
Since OJB builds upon JDBC, you probably got to try to establish a connection 
and execute the query that you've defined as the keep-alive query, and see 
whether this is possible.

I think that in JDBC you'd have to try to establish a connection to it
and if that fails, then likely the database is not available (for
whatever reason). AFAIK there is no other generic way (though
individual databases may provide other means).
Since OJB builds upon JDBC, you probably got to try to establish a
connection and execute the query that you've defined as the keep-alive
query, and see whether this is possible.

How to check if database is available

2005-08-18 Thread Hiller, Frank RD-AS2
Hello OJB users,
 
how can one check via OJB whether the database is avaialable before
establishing a connection to it?
 
Thanks,
Frank
