Requirements for Commons Pool

[starki78 <st...@libero.it>]

Hi!

Is there the possibility to use the pool
with these two options:


String key = POOL.putObject(Object o) {}
POOL.putObject(Object o,String key) {}


The crucial point is that a unique key is created internally and given back
to the user.

Another requirement is that the pool elements can be deleted after a timeout
(e.g. after one our)

Is this already implemented in any way?

Nice greetings
Starky

No. You need to come up with your own keys. An easy way is to simply
create one with:

Object key = new Object();

Though Object may not have the equals() and hashCode() behaviors you
really want so many people use Strings. You're on your own when it
comes to creating a unique String token.

KeyedObjectPools usualy create objects on demand, you simply ask for
an object with a key. eg:

Object obj1 = pool.borrowObject(key);
Object obj2 = pool.borrowObject(key);

but don't forget to return a borrowed object with:

pool.returnObject(key, obj1);
pool.returnObject(key, obj2);

To expire stale objects you need to request that behavior when you
create the KeyedObjectPool:

KeyedPoolableObjectFactory kpof = new MyKeyedPoolableObjectFactory();
GenericKeyedObjectPool.Config config = new GenericKeyedObjectPool.Config();
config.timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis = 10 * 60 * 1000; // check every 10 minutes
config.minEvictableIdleTimeMillis = 60 * 60 * 1000; // evict objects
idle for an hour
KeyedObjectPool pool = GenericKeyedObjectPool(kpof, config);

To use Commons Pool correctly you really need to make your own
[Keyed]PoolableObjectFactory implementations. Some [Keyed]ObjectPool
implementations may work without them but doing so basicly criples the
effictiveness of the commons pool.

See the examples at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/pool/examples.html or read the
JavaDocs: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/pool/apidocs/ .
