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.

Reference

Name	Type	Required?	Description

Name	Type	Required?	Description
jdbcDriver	string	Y	Java class name of the JDBC driver used to connect to the database
jdbcURL	string	Y	JDBC URL to connect to. These are usually of the form `jdbc:databaseProduceName:databaseSpecificInformation`
jdbcUserName	string		The username to use to communicate with the database
jdbcPassword	string		The password to use to communicate with the database

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" />
