Configure Datasource with timezone in jboss/weblogic server - jdbc

I am going to handle multiple time zone in my web application by resetting database session time zone every time getting DB connection.
The code looks like:
public Connection getConnection(GmDNSNamesEnum enDNSName) throws AppError
{
...
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup(enDNSName.getDNSName());
conn = ds.getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
setTimeZone(strTimeZone);
...
return conn;
}
private void setTimeZone(String strTimeZone){
Statement stmt = null;
if(conn != null) {
try{
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute("alter session set time_zone=\'" + strTimeZone+"\'");
} catch (Exception e)
{
String strErrorMsg = GmCommonClass.getExceptionStackTrace(e);
log.error("Exception e "+strErrorMsg);
throw new AppError(e);
}
}
}
Is there any alternate way to set database session time zone?
now, I am looking for configure datasource with different timezone in jboss/weblogic server and use appropriate datasource specific to user timezone instead of every time reset the session time zone by executing alter session script.
thanks in advance

Wow ok.
Perhaps you could try persisting the dates and times into timezone-aware database columns instead of contorting the data source each time you connect? The convention is to store dates in UTC time, then do timezone conversion in the presentation layer (or at least post-retrieval).

Using BulkInsert with OracleDB

I have some kind of promblem with BulkInsert on my OracleDB. I need to insert couple of thousand objects so I decided to use EF.BulkInsert.Oracle added by Nuget which is extension of EF6.BulkInsert for Oracle.
private IOracleDbContext _context;//Class property
//method body:
EF6.BulkInsert.ProviderFactory.Register<EF6.BulkInsert.Providers.OracleBulkInsertProvider>("BulkInsertProvider");
using (var context = (OracleDbContext)_context)
{
using (var dbContextTransaction = context.Database.BeginTransaction())
{
try
{
//Preparing list of objects
var opt = new EF6.BulkInsert.BulkInsertOptions();
opt.Connection = context.Database.Connection;
await context.BulkInsertAsync<ObjectType>(ObjectList,opt);
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
dbContextTransaction.Commit();
stopwatch.Stop();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
dbContextTransaction.Rollback();
throw ex;
}
}
}
Without adding opt (BulkInsertOptions object) as parameter of BulkInsert it is trying to connect with SQLServer (which don't exist so I get connection failure). After add this BulkOptions with connection I get exception that connection is already part of transaction :/
Traditional way (_context.TableName.Add() ) of course works but It takes unacceptable amount of time.
Any idea what I did wrong here?
I found better way (BulkInsert still do not cooperate). I used Array Binding
mentioned here
It reduced insert time from ~6 minutes to ~1-1.5 seconds :D (7770 records)

Using JDBC Pool in oracle weblogic Server,

I have a question that puzzles me these days. I am using JDBC connection pool in oracle weblogc server for my REST API calls. The package was deployed and was able to handle the incoming requests correctly.
But somehow, after a new request is made, in the db session level, I will get a new session row of "INACTIVE" status, even if I have purposely have the db connection closed in the code. And seems to me, this session will kept for ever. Eventually it kills the pool.
Here is the sample of my code, where "apple" is my connection pool name.
Connection connection = JDBCConnection.getJDBCConnction(apple);
Statement stmt = null;
String query ="select name from user";
String hosts="";
try {
stmt = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next()) {
name = rs.getString("name");
}
} finally {
connection.close();
}
Is there anything extra I need to do ?
Thanks,
Jack
You are likely running into an issue where you are closing the Connection but it does not result in closing the ResultSet or the Statement.
The topic has been explained extensively here and here on SO.

JDBC statement pooling with DB2 does not have significant time difference

I'm using JDBC db2 driver, a.k.a. JT400 to connect to db2 server on Application System/400, a midrange computer system.
My goal is to insert into three Tables, from outside of IBM mainframe, which would be cloud instance(eg. Amazon WS).
To make the performance better
1) I am using already established connections to connect to db2.
(using org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource or com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource, both are working fine.)
public class AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource extends AS400JDBCManagedDataSource implements ConnectionPoolDataSource, Referenceable, Serializable {
}
public class AS400JDBCManagedDataSource extends ToolboxWrapper implements DataSource, Referenceable, Serializable, Cloneable {
}
2) I want to cache the insert into statements for all three tables, so that I don't have to send query every time and compile every time, which is expensive. I would instead just pass the parameters only. (Obviously I am doing this using JDBC prepared statements)
Based on an official IBM document Optimize Access to DB2 for i5/OS
from Java and WebSphere, page 17-20 - Enabling Extended Dynamic Support, it's possible to cache the statement with AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource.
BUT, the problem is the insert into queries are being compiled each time, which is taking 200ms * 3 queries = 600ms each time.
Example I'm using,
public class CustomerOrderEventHandler extends MultiEventHandler {
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(CustomerOrderEventHandler.class);
//private BasicDataSource establishedConnections = new BasicDataSource();
//private DB2SimpleDataSource nativeEstablishedConnections = new DB2SimpleDataSource();
private AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource dynamicEstablishedConnections =
new AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource();
private State3 orderState3;
private State2 orderState2;
private State1 orderState1;
public CustomerOrderEventHandler() throws SQLException {
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setServerName(State.server);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setDatabaseName(State.DATABASE);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setUser(State.user);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setPassword(State.password);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setSavePasswordWhenSerialized(true);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setPrompt(false);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setMinPoolSize(3);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setInitialPoolSize(5);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setMaxPoolSize(50);
dynamicEstablishedConnections.setExtendedDynamic(true);
Connection connection = dynamicEstablishedConnections.getConnection();
connection.close();
}
public void onEvent(CustomerOrder orderEvent){
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
Connection dbConnection = null;
try {
dbConnection = dynamicEstablishedConnections.getConnection();
long connectionSetupTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
state3 = new State3(dbConnection);
state2 = new State2(dbConnection);
state1 = new State1(dbConnection);
long initialisation = System.currentTimeMillis() - start - connectionSetupTime;
int[] state3Result = state3.apply(orderEvent);
int[] state2Result = state2.apply(orderEvent);
long state1Result = state1.apply(orderEvent);
dbConnection.commit();
logger.info("eventId="+ getEventId(orderEvent) +
",connectionSetupTime=" + connectionSetupTime +
",queryPreCompilation=" + initialisation +
",insertionOnlyTimeTaken=" +
(System.currentTimeMillis() - (start + connectionSetupTime + initialisation)) +
",insertionTotalTimeTaken=" + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start));
} catch (SQLException e) {
logger.error("Error updating the order states.", e);
if(dbConnection != null) {
try {
dbConnection.rollback();
} catch (SQLException e1) {
logger.error("Error rolling back the state.", e1);
}
}
throw new CustomerOrderEventHandlerRuntimeException("Error updating the customer order states.", e);
}
}
private Long getEventId(CustomerOrder order) {
return Long.valueOf(order.getMessageHeader().getCorrelationId());
}
}
And the States with insert commands look like below,
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class State2 extends State {
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(DetailState.class);
Connection connection;
PreparedStatement preparedStatement;
String detailsCompiledQuery = "INSERT INTO " + DATABASE + "." + getStateName() +
"(" + DetailState.EVENT_ID + ", " +
State2.ORDER_NUMBER + ", " +
State2.SKU_ID + ", " +
State2.SKU_ORDERED_QTY + ") VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)";
public State2(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
this.connection = connection;
this.preparedStatement = this.connection.prepareStatement(detailsCompiledQuery); // this is taking ~200ms each time
this.preparedStatement.setPoolable(true); //might not be required, not sure
}
public int[] apply(CustomerOrder event) throws StateException {
event.getMessageBody().getDetails().forEach(detail -> {
try {
preparedStatement.setLong(1, getEventId(event));
preparedStatement.setString(2, getOrderNo(event));
preparedStatement.setInt(3, detail.getSkuId());
preparedStatement.setInt(4, detail.getQty());
preparedStatement.addBatch();
} catch (SQLException e) {
logger.error(e);
throw new StateException("Error setting up data", e);
}
});
long startedTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
int[] inserted = new int[0];
try {
inserted = preparedStatement.executeBatch();
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new StateException("Error updating allocations data", e);
}
logger.info("eventId="+ getEventId(event) +
",state=details,insertionTimeTaken=" + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startedTime));
return inserted;
}
#Override
protected String getStateName() {
return properties.getProperty("state.order.details.name");
}
}
So the flow is each time an event is received(eg. CustomerOrder), it gets the establishedConnection and then asks the states to initialise their statements.
The metrics for timing look as below,
for the first event, it takes 580ms to create the preparedStatements for 3 tables.
{"timeMillis":1489982655836,"thread":"ScalaTest-run-running-CustomerOrderEventHandlerSpecs","level":"INFO","loggerName":"com.xyz.customerorder.events.handler.CustomerOrderEventHandler",
"message":"eventId=1489982654314,connectionSetupTime=1,queryPreCompilation=580,insertionOnlyTimeTaken=938,insertionTotalTimeTaken=1519","endOfBatch":false,"loggerFqcn":"org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.AbstractLogger","threadId":1,"threadPriority":5}
for the second event, takes 470ms to prepare the statements for 3 tables, which is less than the first event but just < 100ms, I assume it to be drastically less, as it should not even make it to compilation.
{"timeMillis":1489982667243,"thread":"ScalaTest-run-running-PurchaseOrderEventHandlerSpecs","level":"INFO","loggerName":"com.xyz.customerorder.events.handler.CustomerOrderEventHandler",
"message":"eventId=1489982665456,connectionSetupTime=0,queryPreCompilation=417,insertionOnlyTimeTaken=1363,insertionTotalTimeTaken=1780","endOfBatch":false,"loggerFqcn":"org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.AbstractLogger","threadId":1,"threadPriority":5}
What I'm thinking is since I'm closing preparedStatement for that particular connection, it does not even exist for new connection. If thats the case whats the point of having statement caching at all in multi-threaded environment.
The documentation has similar example, where its making transactions inside the same connection which is not the case for me, as I need to have multiple connections at the same time.
Questions
Primary
Q1) Is DB2 JDBC driver caching the statements at all, between multiple connections? Because I don't see much difference while preparing the statement. (see example, first one takes ~600ms, second one takes ~500ms)

SQL packages
SQL packages are permanent objects used to store information related
to prepared SQL statements. They can be used by the IBM iSeries Access
for the IBM Toolbox for
Java JDBC driver. They are also used by applications which use the
QSQPRCED (SQL Process Extended Dynamic) API interface.
In the case JDBC, the existence of the SQL package is
checked when the client application issues the first prepare of a SQL
Statement. If the package does not exist, it is created at that time
(even though it may not yet contain any SQL statements)
Tomcat jdbc connection pool configuration - DB2 on iSeries(AS400)
IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ statement caching
A couple of important things to note regarding statement caching:
Because Statement objects are child objects of a given Connection, once the Connection is closed all child objects (e.g. all Statement objects) must also be closed.
It is not possible to associate a statement from one connection with a different connection.
Statement pooling may or may not be done be by a given JDBC driver. Statement pooling may also be performed by a connection management layer (i.e. application server)
Per JDBC spec, default value for Statement.isPoolable() == false and PreparedStatement.isPoolable() == true, however this flag is only a hint to the JDBC driver. There is no guarantee from the spec that statement pooling will occur.
First off, I am not sure if the JT400 driver does statement caching. The document you referenced in your question comment, Optimize Access to DB2 for i5/OS from Java and WebSphere, is specific to using the JT400 JDBC driver with WebSphere application server, and on slide #3 it indicates that statement caching comes from the WebSphere connection management layer, not the native JDBC driver layer. Given that, I'm going to assume that the JT400 JDBC driver doesn't support statement caching on its own.
So at this point you are probably going to want to plug into some sort of app server (unless you want to implement statement caching on your own, which is sort of re-inventing the wheel). I know for sure that both WebSphere Application Server products (traditional and Liberty) support statement caching for any JDBC driver.
For WebSphere Liberty (the newer product), the data source config is the following:
<dataSource jndiName="jdbc/myDS" statementCacheSize="10">
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="DB2iToolboxLib"/>
<properties.db2.i.toolbox databaseName="YOURDB" serverName="localhost"/>
</dataSource>
<library id="DB2iToolboxLib">
<fileset dir="/path/to/jdbc/driver/dir" includes="jt400.jar"/>
</library>
The key bit being the statementCacheSize attribute of <dataSource>, which has a default value of 10.
(Disclaimer, I'm a WebSphere dev, so I'm going to talk about what I know)
First off, the IBM i Java documentation is here: IBM Toolbox for Java
Secondly, I don't see where you are setting the "extended dynamic" property to true which provides
a mechanism for caching dynamic SQL statements on the server. The first
time a particular SQL statement is prepared, it is stored in a SQL
package on the server. If the package does not exist, it is
automatically created. On subsequent prepares of the same SQL
statement, the server can skip a significant part of the processing by
using information stored in the SQL package. If this is set to "true",
then a package name must be set using the "package" property.
I think you're missing some steps in using the managed pool...here's the first example in the IBM docs
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource;
import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCManagedDataSource;
public class TestJDBCConnPoolSnippet
{
void test()
{
AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource cpds0 = new AS400JDBCManagedConnectionPoolDataSource();
// Set general datasource properties. Note that both connection pool datasource (CPDS) and managed
// datasource (MDS) have these properties, and they might have different values.
cpds0.setServerName(host);
cpds0.setDatabaseName(host);//iasp can be here
cpds0.setUser(userid);
cpds0.setPassword(password);
cpds0.setSavePasswordWhenSerialized(true);
// Set connection pooling-specific properties.
cpds0.setInitialPoolSize(initialPoolSize_);
cpds0.setMinPoolSize(minPoolSize_);
cpds0.setMaxPoolSize(maxPoolSize_);
cpds0.setMaxLifetime((int)(maxLifetime_/1000)); // convert to seconds
cpds0.setMaxIdleTime((int)(maxIdleTime_/1000)); // convert to seconds
cpds0.setPropertyCycle((int)(propertyCycle_/1000)); // convert to seconds
//cpds0.setReuseConnections(false); // do not re-use connections
// Set the initial context factory to use.
System.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
// Get the JNDI Initial Context.
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
// Note: The following is an alternative way to set context properties locally:
// Properties env = new Properties();
// env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
// Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
ctx.rebind("mydatasource", cpds0); // We can now do lookups on cpds, by the name "mydatasource".
// Create a standard DataSource object that references it.
AS400JDBCManagedDataSource mds0 = new AS400JDBCManagedDataSource();
mds0.setDescription("DataSource supporting connection pooling");
mds0.setDataSourceName("mydatasource");
ctx.rebind("ConnectionPoolingDataSource", mds0);
DataSource dataSource_ = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("ConnectionPoolingDataSource");
AS400JDBCManagedDataSource mds_ = (AS400JDBCManagedDataSource)dataSource_;
boolean isHealthy = mds_.checkPoolHealth(false); //check pool health
Connection c = dataSource_.getConnection();
}
}

kerberos auth and connection pooling in jdbc

I've got Java web application running on Tomcat with SSO via SPNEGO/Kerberos and I want to pass kerberos ticket to database, Oracle DB in my case (like impersonation in MS products). I've found an example of implementation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/clntsec.htm):
Connection conn = (Connection)Subject.doAs(specificSubject, new PrivilegedExceptionAction({
public Object run() {
Connection con = null;
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty(AnoServices.AUTHENTICATION_PROPERTY_SERVICES,"("+AnoServices.AUTHENTICATION_KERBEROS5 + ")");
try {
OracleDriver driver = new OracleDriver();
con = driver.connect(url, prop);
}catch (Exception except){
except.printStackTrace();
}
return con;
}
});
String auth = ((OracleConnection)conn).getAuthenticationAdaptorName();
System.out.println("Authentication adaptor="+auth);
printUserName(conn);
conn.close();
But as it is known to create a new connection is an expensive operation. To solve this problem commonly used connection pooling (like c3p0), but I cant find example, how to combine code above and connection pool. Is there any example?

How to close refcursor in spring when using simplejdbccall

I am using spring simpleJdbcCall to call oracle stored procedure and i am using oracle 11g .
I stumbled on a couple of posts which suggests there might be memory leak as the ref cursors are not properly closed by spring.
Is there anyway to explicitly close cursor while using spring simplejdbccall? or is increasing the oracle OPEN_CURSOR the only way out?.
I am planning to scale up my application to handle around one million transactions every hour .Any suggestions will be helpful.
Actually there is no such an issue with Spring JDBC. It closes all resources within finally after all execute. SimpleJdbcCall uses JdbcTemplate:
public <T> T execute(CallableStatementCreator csc, CallableStatementCallback<T> action)
throws DataAccessException {
try {
...
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
...
}
finally {
if (csc instanceof ParameterDisposer) {
((ParameterDisposer) csc).cleanupParameters();
}
JdbcUtils.closeStatement(cs);
DataSourceUtils.releaseConnection(con, getDataSource());
}
}
The same for ResultSet OUT parameters:
protected Map<String, Object> processResultSet(ResultSet rs, ResultSetSupportingSqlParameter param) throws SQLException {
....
finally {
JdbcUtils.closeResultSet(rs);
}
return returnedResults;
}
From other side I have a big experience with Spring JDBC and Oracle in high-loaded systems and want to say that we noticed enough open resources on Oracle with at peak loads, but they have been released properly after that.
Although we used JBOSS Pooled DataSource and its TransactionMaanger
I use CallableStatement directly and I can release statements and connections quickly and safely, try both methods and measure memory consumption, it worked perfectly for me to solve memory consumption and connection retention problems that proved many waiting and rejection of connections the applications.
try {
log.info("**** RepositoryPSostgres.getAllProducts ******** ");
Connection conn = jdbcTemplate.getDataSource().getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
// Procedure call.
CallableStatement proc = conn.prepareCall("{? = call get_all_products() }");
proc.registerOutParameter(1, Types.OTHER);
proc.execute();
ResultSet results = (ResultSet) proc.getObject(1);
**proc.close();
proc.isClosed();
conn.close();**
ArrayList <Products> resp = new ArrayList <Products>();
while (results.next()) {
Products resp1 = new Products();
resp1.setId(results.getInt("id"));
resp1.setName((String) results.getString("name"));
resp1.setPrice((BigDecimal) results.getBigDecimal("price"));
resp.add(resp1);
log.info("***" + results.getInt("id") + "***** ");
log.info("***" + results.getString("name") + "***** ");
log.info("***" + results.getBigDecimal("price") + "***** ");
}
results.close();
return resp;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
log.error(new StringBuffer("Error en transaccion en saldo CashPooling : ").append(e.getLocalizedMessage()).toString());
return null;
}
