[Objectbridge-developers] connection questions

[Melzer, S. <Ste...@Pa...>]

Hello, my name is Steven Melzer and I am new to both ObjectBridge and
persistence in general.  I have been looking for a persistence solution for
our web based database storage.  We are an Oracle shop using Weblogic as our
application server.  I downloaded ObjectBridge and built a very simple
example using MySQL on my local machine at home.  It worked well.  But I
have several questions when it comes to integrating it with WebLogic:

1) It seems that the ConnectionManager holds its own pool of connections.  I
wish to use WebLogic's DataSource as a connection pool.  I can see how to
change the source to do this, but i did not want to modify core code without
some feedback.

2) The ConnectionManager is a singleton class holding connections.  However,
I never see these connection being released anywhere.  I check
StatementForClass and StatementManager, but I cannot find a
connection.close().  If the connection is maintained in the
ConnectionManager and never released, then the entire application in
WebLogic will share the same connections.  If our app has hundreds of
simultaneous users, then the single connection is going to be a major
bottleneck.  This goes back to the first question above.

thanks in advance,
steve
