Class DriverManager


  • public class DriverManager
    extends Object

    The basic service for managing a set of JDBC drivers.
    NOTE: The DataSource interface, new in the JDBC 2.0 API, provides another way to connect to a data source. The use of a DataSource object is the preferred means of connecting to a data source.

    As part of its initialization, the DriverManager class will attempt to load the driver classes referenced in the "jdbc.drivers" system property. This allows a user to customize the JDBC Drivers used by their applications. For example in your ~/.hotjava/properties file you might specify:

     jdbc.drivers=foo.bah.Driver:wombat.sql.Driver:bad.taste.ourDriver
     

    The DriverManager methods getConnection and getDrivers have been enhanced to support the Java Standard Edition Service Provider mechanism. JDBC 4.0 Drivers must include the file META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver. This file contains the name of the JDBC drivers implementation of java.sql.Driver. For example, to load the my.sql.Driver class, the META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file would contain the entry:

     my.sql.Driver
     

    Applications no longer need to explictly load JDBC drivers using Class.forName(). Existing programs which currently load JDBC drivers using Class.forName() will continue to work without modification.

    When the method getConnection is called, the DriverManager will attempt to locate a suitable driver from amongst those loaded at initialization and those loaded explicitly using the same classloader as the current applet or application.

    Starting with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3, a logging stream can be set only if the proper permission has been granted. Normally this will be done with the tool PolicyTool, which can be used to grant permission java.sql.SQLPermission "setLog".

    • Method Detail

      • getLogWriter

        public static PrintWriter getLogWriter()
        Retrieves the log writer. The getLogWriter and setLogWriter methods should be used instead of the get/setlogStream methods, which are deprecated.
        Returns:
        a java.io.PrintWriter object
        Since:
        1.2
        See Also:
        setLogWriter(java.io.PrintWriter)
      • setLogWriter

        public static void setLogWriter(PrintWriter out)
        Sets the logging/tracing PrintWriter object that is used by the DriverManager and all drivers.

        There is a minor versioning problem created by the introduction of the method setLogWriter. The method setLogWriter cannot create a PrintStream object that will be returned by getLogStream---the Java platform does not provide a backward conversion. As a result, a new application that uses setLogWriter and also uses a JDBC 1.0 driver that uses getLogStream will likely not see debugging information written by that driver.

        Starting with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 release, this method checks to see that there is an SQLPermission object before setting the logging stream. If a SecurityManager exists and its checkPermission method denies setting the log writer, this method throws a java.lang.SecurityException.

        Parameters:
        out - the new logging/tracing PrintStream object; null to disable logging and tracing
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method denies setting the log writer
        Since:
        1.2
        See Also:
