The TomEE dynamic datasource api aims to allow to use multiple data sources as one from an application point of view.
It can be useful for technical reasons (load balancing for example) or more generally functionnal reasons (filtering, aggregation, enriching...). However please note you can choose only one datasource by transaction. It means the goal of this feature is not to switch more than once of datasource in a transaction. The following code will not work:
@Stateless
public class MyEJB {
@Resource private MyRouter router;
@PersistenceContext private EntityManager em;
public void workWithDataSources() {
router.setDataSource("ds1");
em.persist(new MyEntity());
router.setDataSource("ds2"); // same transaction -> this invocation doesn't work
em.persist(new MyEntity());
}
}
In this example the implementation simply use a datasource from its name and needs to be set before using any JPA operation in the transaction (to keep the logic simple in the example).
Our router has two configuration parameters: * a list of jndi names representing datasources to use * a default datasource to use
The interface Router (org.apache.openejb.resource.jdbc.Router) has only one method to implement, public DataSource getDataSource()
Our DeterminedRouter implementation uses a ThreadLocal to manage the currently used datasource. Keep in mind JPA used more than once the getDatasource() method
for one operation. To change the datasource in one transaction is dangerous and should be avoid.
package org.superbiz.dynamicdatasourcerouting;
import org.apache.openejb.resource.jdbc.AbstractRouter;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;
public class DeterminedRouter extends AbstractRouter {
private String dataSourceNames;
private String defaultDataSourceName;
private Map<String, DataSource> dataSources = null;
private ThreadLocal<DataSource> currentDataSource = new ThreadLocal<DataSource>();
/**
* @param datasourceList datasource resource name, separator is a space
*/
public void setDataSourceNames(String datasourceList) {
dataSourceNames = datasourceList;
}
/**

*/
private void init() {
dataSources = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, DataSource>();
for (String ds : dataSourceNames.split(" ")) {
try {
Object o = getOpenEJBResource(ds);
if (o instanceof DataSource) {
dataSources.put(ds, DataSource.class.cast(o));
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
// ignored
}
}
}
/**
* @return the user selected data source if it is set
* or the default one
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if the data source is not found
*/
@Override
public DataSource getDataSource() {
// lazy init of routed datasources
if (dataSources == null) {
init();
}
// if no datasource is selected use the default one
if (currentDataSource.get() == null) {
if (dataSources.containsKey(defaultDataSourceName)) {
return dataSources.get(defaultDataSourceName);
} else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("you have to specify at least one datasource");
}
}
// the developper set the datasource to use
return currentDataSource.get();
}
/**
*
* @param datasourceName data source name
*/
public void setDataSource(String datasourceName) {
if (dataSources == null) {
init();
}
if (!dataSources.containsKey(datasourceName)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("data source called " + datasourceName + " can't be found.");
}
DataSource ds = dataSources.get(datasourceName);
currentDataSource.set(ds);
}
/**
* reset the data source
*/
public void clear() {
currentDataSource.remove();
}
public void setDefaultDataSourceName(String name) {
this.defaultDataSourceName = name;
}
}
To be able to use your router as a resource you need to provide a service configuration. It is done in a file you can find in META-INF/org.router/ and called service-jar.xml (for your implementation you can of course change the package name).
It contains the following code:
<ServiceJar>
<ServiceProvider id="DeterminedRouter" <!-- the name you want to use -->
service="Resource"
type="org.apache.openejb.resource.jdbc.Router"
class-name="org.superbiz.dynamicdatasourcerouting.DeterminedRouter"> <!-- implementation class -->
# the parameters
DataSourceNames
DefaultDataSourceName
</ServiceProvider>
</ServiceJar>
Here we have a RoutedPersister stateless bean which uses our DeterminedRouter
package org.superbiz.dynamicdatasourcerouting;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
@Stateless
public class RoutedPersister {
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "router")
private EntityManager em;
@Resource(name = "My Router", type = DeterminedRouter.class)
private DeterminedRouter router;
public void persist(int id, String name, String ds) {
router.setDataSource(ds);
em.persist(new Person(id, name));
}
}
In test mode and using property style configuration the foolowing configuration is used:
public class DynamicDataSourceTest {
@Test
public void route() throws Exception {
String[] databases = new String[]{"database1", "database2", "database3"};
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, LocalInitialContextFactory.class.getName());
// resources
// datasources
for (int i = 1; i <= databases.length; i++) {
String dbName = databases[i - 1];
properties.setProperty(dbName, "new://Resource?type=DataSource");
dbName += ".";
properties.setProperty(dbName + "JdbcDriver", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
properties.setProperty(dbName + "JdbcUrl", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db" + i);
properties.setProperty(dbName + "UserName", "sa");
properties.setProperty(dbName + "Password", "");
properties.setProperty(dbName + "JtaManaged", "true");
}
// router
properties.setProperty("My Router", "new://Resource?provider=org.router:DeterminedRouter&type=" + DeterminedRouter.class.getName());
properties.setProperty("My Router.DatasourceNames", "database1 database2 database3");
properties.setProperty("My Router.DefaultDataSourceName", "database1");
// routed datasource
properties.setProperty("Routed Datasource", "new://Resource?provider=RoutedDataSource&type=" + Router.class.getName());
properties.setProperty("Routed Datasource.Router", "My Router");
Context ctx = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties).getContext();
RoutedPersister ejb = (RoutedPersister) ctx.lookup("java:global/dynamic-datasource-routing/RoutedPersister");
for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++) {
// persisting a person on database db -> kind of manual round robin
String name = "record " + i;
String db = databases[i % 3];
ejb.persist(i, name, db);
}
// assert database records number using jdbc
for (int i = 1; i <= databases.length; i++) {
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db" + i, "sa", "");
Statement st = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select count(*) from PERSON");
rs.next();
assertEquals(6, rs.getInt(1));
st.close();
connection.close();
}
ctx.close();
}
}
The testcase above uses properties for configuration. The identical way to do it via the conf/openejb.xml is as follows:
<!-- Router and datasource -->
<Resource id="My Router" type="org.apache.openejb.router.test.DynamicDataSourceTest$DeterminedRouter" provider="org.routertest:DeterminedRouter">
DatasourceNames = database1 database2 database3
DefaultDataSourceName = database1
</Resource>
<Resource id="Routed Datasource" type="org.apache.openejb.resource.jdbc.Router" provider="RoutedDataSource">
Router = My Router
</Resource>
<!-- real datasources -->
<Resource id="database1" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db1
UserName = sa
Password
JtaManaged = true
</Resource>
<Resource id="database2" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db2
UserName = sa
Password
JtaManaged = true
</Resource>
<Resource id="database3" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db3
UserName = sa
Password
JtaManaged = true
</Resource>
Using more than one datasource behind one EntityManager means the databases are already created. If it is not the case, the JPA provider has to create the datasource at boot time.
Hibernate do it so if you declare your databases it will work. However with OpenJPA (the default JPA provider for OpenEJB), the creation is lazy and it happens only once so when you'll switch of database it will no more work.
Of course OpenEJB provides @Singleton and @Startup features of Java EE 6 and we can do a bean just making a simple find, even on none existing entities, just to force the database creation:
@Startup
@Singleton
public class BoostrapUtility {
// inject all real databases
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "db1")
private EntityManager em1;
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "db2")
private EntityManager em2;
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "db3")
private EntityManager em3;
// force database creation
@PostConstruct
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.SUPPORTS)
public void initDatabase() {
em1.find(Person.class, 0);
em2.find(Person.class, 0);
em3.find(Person.class, 0);
}
}
Now you configured the way you want to route your JPA operation, you registered the resources and you initialized your databases you can use it and see how it is simple:
@Stateless
public class RoutedPersister {
// injection of the "proxied" datasource
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "router")
private EntityManager em;
// injection of the router you need it to configured the database
@Resource(name = "My Router", type = DeterminedRouter.class)
private DeterminedRouter router;
public void persist(int id, String name, String ds) {
router.setDataSource(ds); // configuring the database for the current transaction
em.persist(new Person(id, name)); // will use ds database automatically
}
}
