Class Base


  • public class Base
    extends Object
    This class provides a number of convenience methods for opening/closing database connections, running various types of queries, and executing SQL statements. This class differs from DB such that in this class you a logical name for a connection is hard-coded to be "default". Use this class when you have only one database.

    This class is a convenience wrapper of DB

    • Method Detail

      • open

        public static DB open()
        This method will open a connection defined in the file 'database.properties' set by an initial previous call to DBConfiguration.loadConfiguration(String). The connection picked up from the file is defined by ACTIVE_ENV environment variable or active_env system property. If this variable is not defined, it defaults to 'development' environment. If there is JUnit on classpath, this method assumes it is running under test, and defaults to 'test'.

      • open

        public static DB open​(String jndiName)

        Creates a java.sql.PreparedStatement to be used in batch executions later.
        Parameters:
        parametrizedStatement - Example of a statement: INSERT INTO employees VALUES (?, ?).
        Returns:
        instance of java.sql.PreparedStatement with compiled query.
      • addBatch

        public static void addBatch​(PreparedStatement ps,
                                    Object... parameters)
        Adds a batch statement using given java.sql.PreparedStatement and parameters.
        Parameters:
        ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement to add batch to.
        parameters - parameters for the query in java.sql.PreparedStatement. Parameters will be set on the statement in the same order as provided here.
      • executeBatch

        public static int[] executeBatch​(PreparedStatement ps)
        Executes a batch on java.sql.PreparedStatement.
        Parameters:
        ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement to execute batch on.
        Returns:
        an array of update counts containing one element for each command in the batch. The elements of the array are ordered according to the order in which commands were added to the batch.
        See Also:
        Statement#executeBatch()
      • closePreparedStatement

        public static void closePreparedStatement​(PreparedStatement ps)
        Quietly closes the java.sql.PreparedStatement used in a batch execution. The advantage over calling java.sql.PreparedStatement.close() directly is not having to explicitly handle a checked exception (java.sql.SQLException). This method should typically be called in a finally block. So as not to displace any exception (e.g. from a failed batch execution) that might already be in flight, this method swallows any exception that might arise from closing the statement. This is generally seen as a worthwhile trade-off, as it much less likely for a close to fail without a prior failure.
        Parameters:
        ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement with which a batch has been executed. If null, this is a no-op.
      • attach

        public static void attach​(Connection connection)
        Attaches a database connection to current thread under a default name.
        Parameters:
        connection - instance of connection to attach to current thread.
      • detach

        public static Connection detach()
        Detaches a default connection from current thread and returns an instance of it. This method does not close a connection. Use it for cases of advanced connection management, such as integration with Spring Framework.
        Returns:
        instance of a default connection detached from current thread by name passed to constructor.
