Class LoadBalancingConnectionProxy

    java.lang.Object
      com.mysql.jdbc.LoadBalancingConnectionProxy

All Implemented Interfaces:
  PingTarget, java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler

    public class LoadBalancingConnectionProxy

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler, PingTarget

An implementation of java.sql.Connection that load balances requests across a series of MySQL JDBC connections, where the balancing takes place at transaction commit. Therefore, for this to work (at all), you must use transactions, even if only reading data. This implementation will invalidate connections that it detects have had communication errors when processing a request. A new connection to the problematic host will be attempted the next time it is selected by the load balancing algorithm. This implementation is thread-safe, but it's questionable whether sharing a connection instance amongst threads is a good idea, given that transactions are scoped to connections in JDBC.

Nested Class Summary
`protected class` `LoadBalancingConnectionProxy.ConnectionErrorFiringInvocationHandler`

Constructor Summary
`LoadBalancingConnectionProxy(java.util.List hosts, java.util.Properties props)` Creates a proxy for java.sql.Connection that routes requests between the given list of host:port and uses the given properties when creating connections.

Method Summary
`Connection` `createConnectionForHost(java.lang.String hostPortSpec)` Creates a new physical connection for the given host:port and updates required internal mappings and statistics for that connection.
`(package private) void` `dealWithInvocationException(java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException e)`
`void` `doPing()`
`(package private) void` `invalidateCurrentConnection()` Closes current connection and removes it from required mappings.
`java.lang.Object` `invoke(java.lang.Object proxy, java.lang.reflect.Method method, java.lang.Object[] args)` Proxies method invocation on the java.sql.Connection interface, trapping "close", "isClosed" and "commit/rollback" (to switch connections for load balancing).
`(package private) java.lang.Object` `proxyIfInterfaceIsJdbc(java.lang.Object toProxy, java.lang.Class clazz)` Recursively checks for interfaces on the given object to determine if it implements a java.sql interface, and if so, proxies the instance so that we can catch and fire SQL errors.
