 int getLoginTimeout()
          Retrieves the maximum time in seconds that this data source can wait while attempting to connect to a data source.
 PrintWriter getLogWriter()
          Retrieves the log writer for this XADataSource object.
 XAConnection getXAConnection()
          Attempts to establish a physical database connection that can be used in a distributed transaction.
 XAConnection getXAConnection(String user, String password)
          Attempts to establish a physical database connection, using the given user name and password.
 void setLoginTimeout(int seconds)
          Sets the maximum time in seconds that this data source will wait while attempting to connect to a data source.

Method Detail

getXAConnection

public XAConnection getXAConnection()
                             throws SQLException
Attempts to establish a physical database connection that can be used in a distributed transaction.

Returns:
an XAConnection object, which represents a physical connection to a data source, that can be used in a distributed transaction
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getXAConnection

public XAConnection getXAConnection(String user,
                                    String password)
                             throws SQLException
Attempts to establish a physical database connection, using the given user name and password. The connection that is returned is one that can be used in a distributed transaction.

Parameters:
user - the database user on whose behalf the connection is being made
password - the user's password
Returns:
an XAConnection object, which represents a physical connection to a data source, that can be used in a distributed transaction
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getLogWriter

public PrintWriter getLogWriter()
                         throws SQLException

Retrieves the log writer for this XADataSource object.

Returns:
the log writer for this data source; null if no log writer has been set, which means that logging is disabled
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setLogWriter(java.io.PrintWriter)

setLogWriter

public void setLogWriter(PrintWriter out)
                  throws SQLException
Sets the log writer for this XADataSource object to the given java.io.PrintWriter object.

The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this XADataSource object will be printed. This includes messages printed by the methods of this object, messages printed by methods of other objects manufactured by this object, and so on. Messages printed to a log writer that is specific to a data source are not printed to the log writer associated with the java.sql.DriverManager class. When a data source object is created, the log writer is initially null.

Parameters:
out - the new log writer; to disable logging, set to null
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
getLogWriter()

setLoginTimeout

public void setLoginTimeout(int seconds)
                     throws SQLException

Sets the maximum time in seconds that this data source will wait while attempting to connect to a data source. A value of zero specifies that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it specifies that there is no timeout. When a data source object is created, the login timeout is initially zero.

Parameters:
seconds - the data source login time limit
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
getLoginTimeout()

getLoginTimeout

public int getLoginTimeout()
                    throws SQLException
Retrieves the maximum time in seconds that this data source can wait while attempting to connect to a data source. A value of zero means that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it means that there is no timeout. When a data source object is created, the login timeout is initially zero.

Returns:
the number of seconds that is the login time limit for this XADataSource object or zero if there is no no timeout limit or the timeout limit is the default system timeout limit if there is one
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setLoginTimeout(int)
