UI Configuration

The UI configuration of the DBLookup mediator changes depending on whether you connect to the database using a connection pool, or using a data source. Click on the relevant tab to view the required UI configuration.

Localtabgroup
Localtab
activetrue
titleConnection Pool

The parameters available to configure the DBLookup mediator are as follows:

Parameter NameDescription
Connection Information

This parameter is used to specify whether the connection should be taken from a connection pool or a datasource.

 


DriverThe class name of the database driver.
URLJDBC URL of the database where the data will be looked up.
UserUsername used to connect to the database.
PasswordPassword used to connect to the database.
Adding properties to the DBLookup mediator

If you click Add Property, the page will expand to display the following parameters.

The parameters available to manage properties are as follows.

Parameter NameDescription
NameThe name of the property.
ValueThe value of the property.
ActionThis parameter enables a property to be deleted.


The available properties are as follows.

Name

Value

Description

autocommit

true / false

The auto-commit state of the connections created by the pool.

isolation

Connection.TRANSACTION_NONE / Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED / Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED / Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ / Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE

The isolation state of the connections created by the pool.

initialsize

int

The initial number of connections created when the pool is started.

maxactive

int

The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at a given time. When this maximum limit is reached, no more active connections will be created by the connection pool. Specify 0 or a negative value if you do not want to set a limit.

maxidle

int

The maximum number of idle connections

to be

allowed in the connection pool at a given time.

Specify 0 or a negative value if you want the pool to wait indefinitely.

maxopenstatements

int

The value should be less than the maxActive value. For high performance, tune maxIdle to match the number of average, concurrent requests to the pool. If this value is set to a large value, the pool will contain unnecessary idle connections.

Info

The enabled idle connections are checked periodically whenever a new connection is requested, and connections that are being idle for longer than minEvictableIdleTimeMillis are released, since it takes time to create a new connection.


maxopenstatements

int

The maximum number of open statements that can be allocated from the statement pool at a given time. When this maximum limit is reached, no more new statements will be created by the statement pool. Specify 0 or a negative value if you do not want to set a limit.

maxwait

long

The maximum number of milliseconds that the connection pool will wait for a connection to return before throwing an exception when there are no connections available in the pool. Specify 0 or a negative value if you want the pool to wait indefinitely.

minidle

int

The

minimum number of idle connections to be allowed in the connection pool at a given time. Specify 0 or a negative value if you want the pool to wait indefinitely

minimum number of idle connections allowed in the connection pool at a given time, without extra ones being created. Default value is 0, and is derived from initialSize. The connection pool can shrink below this number if validation queries fail.

Info

This value should be similar or near to the average number of requests that will be received by the server at the same time. With this setting, you can avoid having to open and close new connections every time a request is received by the server.

poolstatements

true/ false

If the value is true, statement pooling is enabled for the pool.

testonborrow

true/ false

If the value is true, objects are validated before they are borrowed from the pool. An object which fails the validation test will be dropped from the pool and another object in the pool will be picked instead.

testwhileidle

true/ false

If the value is true, the objects in the pool will be validated using an idle object evictor (if any exists). Any object which fails this validation test would be dropped from the pool.

validationquery

String

The SQL query that will be used to validate connections from this pool before returning them to the caller.
Localtab
titleData source

Adding SQL statements to the DBLookup Mediator
 

Anchor
SQL Statements
SQL Statements

If you click Add Statement, the page will be expanded to display the following parameters.

Parameter NameDescription
SQLThis parameter is used to enter one or more SQL statements.
ParametersThis section is used to specify how the values of parameters in the SQL will be determined. A parameter value can be static or calculated at runtime based on a given expression.
Parameter Type

The data type of the parameter. Possible values are as follows.

  • CHAR
  • VARCHAR
  • LONGVARCHAR
  • NUMERIC
  • DECIMAL
  • BIT
  • TINYINT
  • SAMLLINT
  • INTEGER
  • BIGINT
  • REAL
  • DOUBLE
  • DATE
  • TIME
  • TIMESTAMP
Property Type

This determines whether the parameter value should be a static value or calculated at run time via an expression.

  • Value: If this is selected, a static value would be considered as the property value and this value should be entered in the Value/Expression parameter.
  • Expression: If this is selected, the property value will be determined during mediation by evaluating an expression. This expression should be entered in the Value/Expression parameter.

Value/Expression

This parameter is used to enter the static value or the XPath expression used to determine the property value based on the option you selected for the Property Type parameter.

Info
titleTip

You can click NameSpaces to add namespaces if you are providing an expression. Then the Namespace Editor panel would appear where you can provide any number of namespace prefixes and URLs used in the XPath expression. 

ActionThis allows you to delete a parameter.
Results

This section is used to specify how to deal with the rerun result from a Database query execution.

  • Result Name
  • Column
  • Action - Deletes the result.

In this example, when a message is received by a proxy service with a DBLookup mediator configuration, it opens a connection to the database and executes the SQL query. The SQL query uses ? character for attributes that will be filled at runtime. The parameters define how to calculate the value of those attributes at runtime. In this sample, the DBLookup Mediator has been used to extract  the id of the company from the company database using the symbol which is evaluated using an XPath against the SOAP envelope.
