Concern about JavaDelegate implementations

fwachs — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:50:08 GMT

Hi all,I haven't found any documentation or posts about what's the life cycle for the implementations of JavaDelegate.I am worried about this because on my JavaDelegate implementations I create a database connection and use it normally, but i'm not sure what happens next with this instance, does it

Afaik the documentation states that java delegates should Stateless…

Right, the Java delegates are stateless, so you definitely close every connection you have opened in the Java logic.

Best regards,

Uhm ok then, do you think this is the recommended way to hit an external db ( not the activiti one ) ?

Yes, looks ok at a first glance: opening and closing the connection in the same call.

Actually I created a dbcp datasource bean on activiti application context and I pull that bean on the delegate class by calling a static class from activiti.

That's better right?


public abstract class SQLProcessTask extends DataSourceTask implements JavaDelegate {
    protected FixedValue fixedSQL;
    protected JuelExpression expressionSQL;

    public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) {
        this.openDatasource();
        this.executeSQL(execution);
    }

    private void openDatasource() {
        this.datasource = (DataSource) Context.getProcessEngineConfiguration().getBeans().get("dataSource.single");
        this.template = new JdbcTemplate(datasource);
    }

    protected abstract void executeSQL(DelegateExecution execution);

    public void setFixedSQL(FixedValue fixedSQL) {
        this.fixedSQL = fixedSQL;
    }

    public void setExpressionSQL(JuelExpression expressionSQL) {
        this.expressionSQL = expressionSQL;
    }

    public String getSQL(DelegateExecution execution) {
        if (expressionSQL != null) {
            return expressionSQL.getValue(execution).toString();
        } else if (fixedSQL != null) {
            return fixedSQL.getValue(execution).toString();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Using a connection pool is *always* better 😉
