Connect to OceanBase Database by using a Tomcat connection pool

This topic introduces how to build an application by using a Tomcat connection pool, OceanBase Connector/J, and OceanBase Database. It also covers the use of the application for fundamental database operations, including table creation, data insertion, data deletion, data updating, and data query.

Download the tomcat-mysql-client sample project

Prerequisites

• You have installed OceanBase Database.
• You have installed Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 and Maven.
• You have installed IntelliJ IDEA.

Procedure

1. Import the tomcat-mysql-client project into IntelliJ IDEA.
2. Obtain the connection information of OceanBase Database.
3. Modify the database connection information in the tomcat-mysql-client project.
4. Set up the Tomcat runtime environment of the tomcat-mysql-client project.
5. Run the tomcat-mysql-client project.

Step 1: Import the tomcat-mysql-client project into IntelliJ IDEA

1. Start IntelliJ IDEA and choose File > Open....

   

2. In the Open File or Project window, select the project files and click OK to import the files.

3. IntelliJ IDEA automatically recognizes the files and displays the project's directory structure, file list, module list, dependency relationships, and other details in the Project window. This window is typically positioned on the left side of the IntelliJ IDEA interface and is generally open by default. If the Project window is closed, you can reopen it by choosing View > Tool Windows > Project in the menu bar or by using the shortcut Alt + 1.

   Note

   When you import a project using IntelliJ IDEA, it will automatically detect the pom.xml file in the project, download the required dependency libraries based on the described dependencies in the file, and add them to the project.

4. View the project.

   

Step 2: Obtain the connection information of OceanBase Database

1. Contact the deployment personnel or administrator of OceanBase Database to obtain the connection string.

   obclient -hxx.xx.xx.xx -P2883 -uroot@sys#cluster -p**** -A
   

2. Fill in the URL below based on the OceanBase Database connection string.

   Note

   The URL of OceanBase Database is required in the application.properties file.

   jdbc:oceanbase://host:port/schema_name?user=$user_name&password=$password&characterEncoding=UTF-8
   

   where

   • host specifies the IP address for connecting to OceanBase Database. For connection through OceanBase Database Proxy (ODP), this parameter is the IP address of an ODP. For direct connection, this parameter is the IP address of an OBServer node.
   • port specifies the port for connecting to OceanBase Database. For connection through ODP, the default value is 2883, which can be customized when ODP is deployed. For direct connection, the default value is 2881, which can be customized when OceanBase Database is deployed.
   • schema_name specifies the name of the schema to be accessed.
   • user_name specifies the tenant account. For connection through ODP, the tenant account can be in the username@tenant name#cluster name or cluster name:tenant name:username format. For direction connection, the tenant account is in the username@tenant name format.
   • password specifies the password of the account.
   • characterEncoding specifies the character encoding format for the URL of OceanBase Database. The default value is utf8.

For more information about URL parameters, see Database URL.

Step 3: Modify the database connection information in the tomcat-mysql-client project

Modify the database connection information in the application.properties file based on the information obtained in Step 2.

Here is an example:

• The name of the database driver is com.oceanbase.jdbc.Driver.
• The IP address of the OBServer node is 10.10.10.1.
• The port is 2881.
• The name of the database to be accessed is TEST.
• The tenant account is root@xymysql, where xymysql is a MySQL user tenant created in OceanBase Database, and root is the username of the xymysql tenant.
• The password is ******.

The sample code is as follows:

#Apache Commons DBCP2 Connection Pool
#Database Connection Pool Driver Class Name
db.app.pool.driverClassName=com.oceanbase.jdbc.Driver
#Database URL
db.app.pool.url=jdbc:oceanbase://10.10.10.1/TEST?characterEncoding=UTF-8
#Database username
db.app.pool.username=root@xymysqll
#Database password
db.app.pool.password=******
#Initial size of connection pool
db.app.pool.initialSize=3
#Maximum number of connections in the connection pool
db.app.pool.maxTotal=10
#Maximum number of idle connections in the connection pool
db.app.pool.maxIdle=20
#Minimum number of idle connections in the connection pool
db.app.pool.minIdle=5
#Maximum wait time for obtaining connections (in milliseconds)
db.app.pool.maxWaitMillis=5000
#Verify the connection's query statement
db.app.pool.validationQuery=select 1 from dual

    #Verify the connection's query statement
    db.app.pool.validationQuery=select 1
  

The following table describes the general parameters of Tomcat Database Connection Pool (DBCP).

Code in the web.xml file

The web.xml file is used to configure filters for web applications.

To configure the web.xml file, perform the following steps:

1. Declare the file.

   Declare the file to be an XML file that uses XML standard 1.0 and character encoding UTF-8.

   The sample code is as follows:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   

2. Configure the XML namespace and the XML model version.

   1. xmlns:xsi: the namespace for XML elements prefixed with xsi, which is set to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance.
   2. xmlns: the default XML namespace, which is set to http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee.
   3. xsi:schemaLocation: the mapping between the XML namespace and its corresponding XML schema definition (XSD) file. The value typically consists of paired strings separated by spaces. Each pair consists of a default XML namespace (http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee) in the first part, and the URI of the corresponding XSD file (http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd) in the second part.
   4. <id> and <version>: the ID and version of the web application, which are respectively set to WebApp_ID and 3.0.

   The sample code is as follows:

    <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
             id="WebApp_ID"
             version="3.0">
   

3. Configure a JFinal filter.

   Configure a filter named jfinal. With this filter, you can use the JFinal framework in the web application. Set the class of the filter to com.jfinal.core.JFinalFilter. Configure the initialization parameter configClass to set the location of the configuration class of the JFinal framework to com.oceanbase.testtomcat.config.UserConfig. The JFinal filter allows you to use the JFinal framework in the web application and to configure the behavior of the JFinal framework based on the specified configuration class.

   The sample code is as follows:

    <filter>
        <filter-name>jfinal</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.jfinal.core.JFinalFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>configClass</param-name>
            <!-- your jfinal configuration location -->
            <param-value>com.oceanbase.testtomcat.config.UserConfig</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>
   

4. Configure mappings of the JFinal filter.

   Apply the JFinal filter named jfinal to all request paths, namely, to all requests in the application.

   The sample code is as follows:

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>jfinal</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
   

Code in the UserConfig.java file

The UserConfig.java file is used to configure the routes, plug-ins, database connections, and other information of the application.

To configure the UserConfig.java file, perform the following steps:

1. Reference other classes and APIs.

   Declare this file to contain the following APIs and classes:

   • StatFilter class: collects statistics about the database access performance.
   • JdbcConstants class: defines database type constants.
   • WallFilter class: prevents SQL injection attacks.
   • PropKit class: reads configuration files.
   • ActiveRecordPlugin class: operates the database.
   • Db class: executes database operations.
   • MysqlDialect class: specifies a dialect of the database.
   • DruidPlugin class: connects to the database.
   • Engine class: configures the template engine.
   • UserController class: processes user requests.
   • User class: transmits and stores user data.

   The sample code is as follows:

   import com.alibaba.druid.filter.stat.StatFilter;
   import com.alibaba.druid.util.JdbcConstants;
   import com.alibaba.druid.wall.WallFilter;
   import com.jfinal.config.*;
   import com.jfinal.kit.PropKit;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.ActiveRecordPlugin;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.Db;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.dialect.MysqlDialect;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.druid.DruidPlugin;
   import com.jfinal.template.Engine;
   import com.oceanbase.testjfinal.controller.UserController;
   import com.oceanbase.testjfinal.pojo.User;
   

2. Define the UserConfig class.

   Rewrite the methods in the JFinalConfig class to configure constants, routes, plug-ins, database connections, and other information.

   1. Define the configConstant method.

      Use this method to configure constants of the JFinal framework and use PropKit to read configurations from the configuration file.

      The sample code is as follows:

      @Override
      public void configConstant(Constants constants) {
          PropKit.use("application.properties");
      }
      

   2. Define the configRoute method.

      Use this method to configure route mappings. Call the routes.add method to map the "/hello" path to the default access page of the UserController class.

      The sample code is as follows:

      @Override
      public void configRoute(Routes routes) {
          routes.add("/hello", UserController.class, "/");
      }
      

   3. Define the configEngine method.

      Use this method to configure the template engine.

      The sample code is as follows:

      @Override
      public void configEngine(Engine engine) {
      }
      

   4. Define the configPlugin method.

      Use this method to configure plug-ins of the application. Call the init method to initialize database connections and schemas, create the DruidPlugin and ActiveRecordPlugin plug-ins, and add them to plugins. Call the addMapping method of activeRecordPlugin to add the mappings between database tables and entity classes, so as to map the TEST_USER table to the User class.

      The sample code is as follows:

      @Override
      public void configPlugin(Plugins plugins) {
          init();
          DruidPlugin druidPlugin = createDruidPlugin();
          plugins.add(druidPlugin);
      
          ActiveRecordPlugin activeRecordPlugin = createActiveRecordPlugin(druidPlugin);
          activeRecordPlugin.addMapping("TOMCAT_TEST", User.class);
          plugins.add(activeRecordPlugin);
      }
      

   5. Define the createDruidPlugin method.

      Use this method to create the DruidPlugin plug-in and configure relevant parameters, including the connection pool size, SQL firewall, and connection error handling methods.

      • Call the get method of PropKit to obtain database connection properties from the configuration file, including the URL, username, password, and driver class. Then, create a DruidPlugin object and use the obtained property values to initialize the DruidPlugin object.

      • Call the addFilter method to add a StatFilter instance to DruidPlugin to collect statistics about the database access performance. Create a WallFilter instance, call the setDbType method to set the database type to OceanBase Database, and then add the instance to DruidPlugin for SQL firewall-based filtering.

      • Call the setInitialSize method to set the initial size of the connection pool, the setMaxPoolPreparedStatementPerConnectionSize method to set the maximum number of prepared statements allowed in each connection pool, the setTimeBetweenConnectErrorMillis method to set the time to wait before another connection attempt is made after an error, and the setValidationQuery method to set the query statement for verifying connections. Then, return the created DruidPlugin instance.

        The sample code is as follows:

        private DruidPlugin createDruidPlugin() {
            DruidPlugin druidPlugin = new DruidPlugin(
                PropKit.get("db.app.pool.url"),
                PropKit.get("db.app.pool.username"),
                PropKit.get("db.app.pool.password"),
                PropKit.get("db.app.pool.driverClassName")
            );
        
            druidPlugin.addFilter(new StatFilter());
            WallFilter wallFilter = new WallFilter();
            wallFilter.setDbType(JdbcConstants.OCEANBASE);
            druidPlugin.addFilter(wallFilter);
        
            druidPlugin.setInitialSize(PropKit.getInt("db.app.pool.initialSize"));
            druidPlugin.setMaxPoolPreparedStatementPerConnectionSize(PropKit.getInt("db.app.pool.maxTotal"));
            druidPlugin.setTimeBetweenConnectErrorMillis(PropKit.getInt("db.app.pool.maxWaitMillis"));
            druidPlugin.setValidationQuery("select 1");
        
            return druidPlugin;
        }
        

   6. Define the init method.

      Use this method to initialize database connections and create database tables. Call the initDbConnection method to initialize the database connections and return an ActiveRecordPlugin instance. Execute an SQL statement to query whether the user table TOMCAT_TEST exists. If the TOMCAT_TEST table exists, execute the DROP TABLE TOMCAT_TEST statement to drop this table. Then, execute the CREATE TABLE statement to create a database table named TOMCAT_TEST, which contains the ID and USERNAME fields. Close the connection of the ActiveRecordPlugin plug-in to release the database connection.

      The sample code is as follows:

      public void init() {
          ActiveRecordPlugin arp = initDbConnection();
      
          // Check whether the table exists.
          boolean tableExists = Db.queryInt("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'TEST' AND TABLE_NAME = 'TOMCAT_TEST'") > 0;
      
          // Drop the table if it exists.
          if (tableExists) {
              Db.update("DROP TABLE TOMCAT_TEST");
          }
      
          // Create a table.
          String sql = "CREATE TABLE TOMCAT_TEST (ID int, USERNAME varchar(50))";
          Db.update(sql);
      
          arp.stop();
      }
      

   7. Define the initDbConnection method.

      Use this method to initialize database connections. First, call the createDruidPlugin method to create a DruidPlugin object and assign it to the druidPlugin variable. This method is used to create and configure DruidPlugin objects for database connection pool management. Then, call the createActiveRecordPlugin method to create an ActiveRecordPlugin object and pass the DruidPlugin object as a parameter to the createActiveRecordPlugin method. This method is used to create and configure ActiveRecordPlugin objects for database operation management. Call the druidPlugin.start method to start the DruidPlugin object to initialize the database connection pool. Finally, call the activeRecordPlugin.start method to start the ActiveRecordPlugin object. This method initializes database operation settings based on configurations.

      The sample code is as follows:

      private ActiveRecordPlugin initDbConnection() {
          DruidPlugin druidPlugin = createDruidPlugin();
          ActiveRecordPlugin activeRecordPlugin = createActiveRecordPlugin(druidPlugin);
      
          druidPlugin.start();
          activeRecordPlugin.start();
      
          return activeRecordPlugin;
      }
      

   8. Define the ConfigInterceptor and ConfigHandler methods.

      Use these methods for global configuration during system initialization.

      The sample code is as follows:

      @Override
      public void configInterceptor(Interceptors interceptors) {
      }
      
      @Override
      public void configHandler(Handlers handlers) {
      }
      

Code in the UserController.java file

The UserController.java file uses the getData method to insert data into the database, query data from the database, and return the query result to the client in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. Use the Db class of the JFinal framework for database operations, and use the custom User class for data mappings so as to return data.

To configure the UserController.java file, perform the following steps:

1. Reference other classes and APIs.

   Declare this file to contain the following APIs and classes:

   • Controller class: processes requests and responses.
   • Db class: executes database operations.
   • Record class: performs database operations, such as querying, inserting, updating, and deleting data.
   • ArrayList class: creates an empty list.
   • User class: maps database tables.
   • List API: operates the query result set.

   The sample code is as follows:

   import com.jfinal.core.Controller;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.Db;
   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.Record;
   
   import java.util.ArrayList;
   import java.util.List;
   

2. Define the UserController class.

   Use this class to provide a controller for the JFinal framework, and use the getData method to insert data into and query data from the database.

   1. Insert data. Create a dataList list that contains 10 Record objects. Each Record object has unique ID and USERNAME values. Use the Db.batchSave method to save the records in the dataList list to a database table named TOMCAT_TEST.

      The sample code is as follows:

              for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                  Record record = new Record().set("ID", i).set("USERNAME", "Tomcat connection pool test" + i);
                  dataList.add(record);
              }
              Db.batchSave("TOMCAT_TEST", dataList, dataList.size());
      

   2. Query data. Use the Db.find method to execute an SQL query and store the query result in the resultList list. Use an enhanced FOR loop to traverse each Record object in the resultList list. Use the getStr method to obtain values of specified fields in a Record object and use the System.out.println method to return these values.

      The sample code is as follows:

          List<Record> resultList = Db.find("SELECT * FROM TOMCAT_TEST");
          for (Record result : resultList) {
              System.out.println(result.getStr("USERNAME"));
          }
      

   3. Modify data. Use a loop to perform 10 rounds of iterations and execute an update statement in each iteration. Call the Db.update method to update records in the TOMCAT_TEST table based on specified conditions.

      The sample code is as follows:

          for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
              Db.update("UPDATE TOMCAT_TEST SET USERNAME = 'Connection pool test" + i + "' WHERE ID = " + i);
          }
      

   4. Query the modified data. Query the TOMCAT_TEST table and save the query result in modifiedList. Return the information in the -----After modification----- section. Traverse modifiedList and return the USERNAME value of each record. Use the renderJson method to render the response message Data retrieved successfully into the JSON format and return it to the client.

      The sample code is as follows:

              List<Record> modifiedList = Db.find("SELECT * FROM TOMCAT_TEST");
              System.out.println("-----After modification-----");
              for (Record modified : modifiedList) {
                  System.out.println(modified.getStr("USERNAME"));
              }
              renderJson("Data retrieved successfully");
      

Code in the User.java file

The User.java file is used to map database tables and Java objects.

To configure the User.java file, perform the following steps:

1. Reference the Model class.

   Use the Model class to map database tables and operate data.

2. Define the User class.

   The User class inherits the methods provided in the Model class for database operations.

   The sample code is as follows:

   import com.jfinal.plugin.activerecord.Model;
   
   
       public class User extends Model<User> {
           public static final User dao = new User();
   }
