SimpleManagedConnection

Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd

Overview

The <SimpleManagedConnection> element defines a JDBC connection using a custom syntax that supports some limited options. It is aimed only at getting people started with database connections while testing the rest of the functionality.

It defines a pool of connections to the specified driver and database with 5 to 20 connections and a 5 second wait time, which are hardcoded values.

We suggest the use of externally defined connections using the <BeanManagedConnection> element to fully tailor a suitable connection pool.

Examples

<SimpleManagedConnection jdbcDriver="org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver" jdbcURL="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:RDBMSDataConnectorStore" jdbcUserName="jdbcUser" jdbcPassword="Whatever" />

This is exactly equivalent to defining a <BeanManagedConnection> referring to a Spring bean with this configuration:

<bean id="simpleDataConnector" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource" p:driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver" p:url="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:RDBMSDataConnectorStore" p:username="jdbcUser" p:password="Whatever" p:maxTotal="20" p:maxIdle="5" p:maxWaitMillis="5000" />
