everyone!
I’m trying for the first time in my life to use a pool of connections. I want to apply it to my project on Java + Tomcat + maven + Spring MVC + Spring Security + Hibernate. As a library with the implementation of a connections pooling, I decided to use c3p0 library.
I added the dependencies for c3p0 to pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I added c3p0’s connection pooling settings to file db.properties:
# MySQL properties
mysql.driver=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
mysql.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/service
mysql.user=root
mysql.password=****
# Hibernate properties
hibernate.show_sql=true
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update
#C3P0 properties
hibernate.c3p0.min_size=1
hibernate.c3p0.max_size=2
hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment=1
hibernate.c3p0.timeout=1800
hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period=3000
hibernate.c3p0.max_statements=0
I think this is enough to c3p0’s connection pool work. But I do not know whether it works or not. When I run my application (in IDE), I see that there are minPoolSize->1 and maxPoolSize->2 in the server logs. But how I can test it in practice? If I used JDBC requests, I would try to create multiple Connections. But I work with ORM, in other words with sessions. How to do it there? I tried the following: I sent 3 GET requests from 3 different browsers (they execute access to the database), but despite the fact that maxPoolSize=2, all 3 ones were executed successfully.
The code of my DAO class:
package com.example.dao;
import com.example.model.User;
import org.hibernate.*;
import org.hibernate.query.Query;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import javax.persistence.criteria.*;
import java.util.List;
@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao{
@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
@Override
public Integer save(User user) {
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(user);
return user.getId();
}
@Override
public User get(Integer id) {
return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(User.class, id);
}
@Override
public User get(String username) {
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
Query query = session.createQuery("from User u where u.username = :login");
query.setParameter("login", username);
return (User) query.getResultList().get(0);
}
@Override
public void update(Integer id, User user2) {
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
User user1 = session.byId(User.class).load(id);
user1.setUsername(user2.getUsername());
user1.setPassword(user2.getPassword());
user1.setId_role(user2.getId_role());
user1.setName(user2.getName());
user1.setSurname(user2.getSurname());
user1.setEmail(user2.getEmail());
user1.setBirth(user2.getBirth());
session.flush();
}
@Override
public void delete(Integer id) {
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
User user = session.byId(User.class).load(id);
session.delete(user);
}
@Override
public List<User> list() {
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
CriteriaBuilder cb = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<User> cq = cb.createQuery(User.class);
Root<User> root = cq.from(User.class);
cq.select(root);
Query<User> query = session.createQuery(cq);
return query.getResultList();
}
}
The code of my Hibernate configuration class:
package com.example.config;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.*;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.*;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;
import static org.hibernate.cfg.AvailableSettings.*;
import java.util.Properties;
/*
Hibernate configuration class
*/
@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:db.properties")
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScans(value = { @ComponentScan("com.example.dao"), @ComponentScan("com.example.service")})
public class HibernateConfig {
@Autowired
private Environment env;
@Bean
public LocalSessionFactoryBean getSessionFactory(){
LocalSessionFactoryBean factoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
Properties props = new Properties();
// Setting JDBC properties
props.put(DRIVER, env.getProperty("mysql.driver"));
props.put(URL, env.getProperty("mysql.url"));
props.put(USER, env.getProperty("mysql.user"));
props.put(PASS, env.getProperty("mysql.password"));
// Setting Hibernate properties
props.put(SHOW_SQL, env.getProperty("hibernate.show_sql"));
props.put(HBM2DDL_AUTO, env.getProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto"));
// Setting C3P0 properties
props.put(C3P0_MIN_SIZE, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.min_size"));
props.put(C3P0_MAX_SIZE, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_size"));
props.put(C3P0_ACQUIRE_INCREMENT, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment"));
props.put(C3P0_TIMEOUT, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.timeout"));
props.put(C3P0_IDLE_TEST_PERIOD, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period"));
props.put(C3P0_MAX_STATEMENTS, env.getProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_statements"));
factoryBean.setHibernateProperties(props);
factoryBean.setPackagesToScan("com.example.model");
return factoryBean;
}
@Bean
public HibernateTransactionManager getTransactionManager(){
HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setSessionFactory(getSessionFactory().getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
}
Does connection pooling work in my case? How I can check it out? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any answers or links.
