Connection Pooling with C3P0 DataSources
This section provides a tutorial example that shows you how to use the C3P0 DataSources class to create and convert a unpooled DataSource to a pooled DataSource using PoolBackedDataSource with default configurations.
The another easy way to use C3P0 package for connection pooling is to use the com.mchange.v2.c3p0.DataSources class. It offers 2 statics methods to create and convert a unpooled DataSource to a pooled DataSource using PoolBackedDataSource with default configurations.
Here is my sample Java program, C3p0DataSourcesExample.java against my local MySQL server.
/* C3p0DataSourcesExample.java * Copyright (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. */ import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData; import javax.sql.DataSource; import com.mchange.v2.c3p0.DataSources; import com.mchange.v2.c3p0.PoolBackedDataSource; public class C3p0DataSourcesExample { static java.io.PrintStream out = System.out; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String tzid = java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().getID(); String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/HerongDB?" + "user=Herong&password=TopSecret&serverTimezone="+tzid; // Get a DataSource with pooled connections DataSource ds = getDataSource(url); // Get a pooled connection Connection con = ds.getConnection(); checkDataSource(ds); // Verify the pooled connection DatabaseMetaData meta = con.getMetaData(); out.println(); out.println("Database Connection Info: "); out.println(" Server name: "+meta.getDatabaseProductName()); out.println(" Server version: "+meta.getDatabaseProductVersion()); out.println(" Driver name: "+ meta.getDriverName()); out.println(" Driver version: "+ meta.getDriverVersion()); out.println(" JDBC major version: "+ meta.getJDBCMajorVersion()); out.println(" JDBC minor version: "+ meta.getJDBCMinorVersion()); // Close the pooled connection con.close(); // Wait for 3 minutes to check the server side out.println(); out.println("Go and count connections on the database server ..."); Thread.sleep(3*60*1000); // Close the DataSource closeDataSource(ds); } public static DataSource getDataSource(String url) throws Exception { DataSource unpooled = DataSources.unpooledDataSource(url); DataSource pooled = DataSources.pooledDataSource(unpooled); return pooled; } public static void closeDataSource(DataSource ds) throws Exception { DataSources.destroy(ds); } public static void checkDataSource(DataSource ds) throws Exception { PoolBackedDataSource pbds = (PoolBackedDataSource) ds; out.println(); out.println("C3P0 PoolBackedDataSource Info: "); out.println(" Total Connections: "+pbds.getNumConnections()); out.println(" Busy Connections: "+pbds.getNumBusyConnections()); out.println(" Idle Connections: "+pbds.getNumIdleConnections()); } }
To run this test program, I need the . See other tutorials to download them.
Let's run it:

On the MySQL server, log in as "root". I see 3 connections:
mysql> show processlist; +-----+--------+-----------------+----------+---------+--------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | +-----+--------+-----------------+----------+---------+--------+ | 121 | Herong | localhost:57469 | herongdb | Sleep | 9 | | 122 | Herong | localhost:57468 | herongdb | Sleep | 9 | | 123 | Herong | localhost:57470 | herongdb | Sleep | 9 | +-----+--------+-----------------+----------+---------+--------+
