Description: declaration: package: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.impl, class: GenericObjectPool

# Class GenericObjectPool<T>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.BaseObject
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.impl.BaseGenericObjectPool<T>
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2.impl.GenericObjectPool<T>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - Type of element pooled in this pool.

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable, AutoCloseable, GenericObjectPoolMXBean, ObjectPool<T>, UsageTracking<T>`

public class GenericObjectPool<T> extends BaseGenericObjectPool<T> implements ObjectPool<T>, GenericObjectPoolMXBean, UsageTracking<T>
A configurable `ObjectPool` implementation.

When coupled with the appropriate `PooledObjectFactory`, `GenericObjectPool` provides robust pooling functionality for arbitrary objects.

Optionally, one may configure the pool to examine and possibly evict objects as they sit idle in the pool and to ensure that a minimum number of idle objects are available. This is performed by an "idle object eviction" thread, which runs asynchronously. Caution should be used when configuring this optional feature. Eviction runs contend with client threads for access to objects in the pool, so if they run too frequently performance issues may result.

The pool can also be configured to detect and remove "abandoned" objects, i.e. objects that have been checked out of the pool but neither used nor returned before the configured `removeAbandonedTimeout`. Abandoned object removal can be configured to happen when `borrowObject` is invoked and the pool is close to starvation, or it can be executed by the idle object evictor, or both. If pooled objects implement the `TrackedUse` interface, their last use will be queried using the `getLastUsed` method on that interface; otherwise abandonment is determined by how long an object has been checked out from the pool.

Implementation note: To prevent possible deadlocks, care has been taken to ensure that no call to a factory method will occur within a synchronization block. See POOL-125 and DBCP-44 for more information.

This class is intended to be thread-safe.

- ## Method Details

  - ### addObject

    public void addObject() throws Exception
    Creates an object, and places it into the pool. addObject() is useful for "pre-loading" a pool with idle objects.

    If there is no capacity available to add to the pool, or there are already `getMaxIdle()` idle instances in the pool, this is a no-op (no exception, no impact to the pool).

    If the factory returns null when creating an object, a `NullPointerException` is thrown. If there is no factory set (factory == null), an `IllegalStateException` is thrown.

    Specified by:
      `addObject` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Throws:
      `Exception` - when `PooledObjectFactory.makeObject()` fails.

  - ### borrowObject

    public T borrowObject() throws Exception
    Equivalent to ``borrowObject`(`BaseGenericObjectPool.getMaxWaitDuration()`)`. Borrows an instance from this pool.

    Instances returned from this method will have been either newly created with `PooledObjectFactory.makeObject()` or will be a previously idle object and have been activated with `PooledObjectFactory.activateObject(PooledObject)` and then validated with `PooledObjectFactory.validateObject(PooledObject)`.

    By contract, clients must return the borrowed instance using `ObjectPool.returnObject(T)`, `ObjectPool.invalidateObject(T)`, or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface.

    The behavior of this method when the pool has been exhausted is not strictly specified (although it may be specified by implementations).

    Specified by:
      `borrowObject` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Returns:
      an instance from this pool.
    Throws:
      `Exception` - when `PooledObjectFactory.makeObject()` throws an exception.

  - ### borrowObject

    public T borrowObject(Duration maxWaitDuration) throws Exception
    Borrows an object from the pool using the specific waiting time which only applies if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true.

    If there is one or more idle instance available in the pool, then an idle instance will be selected based on the value of `BaseGenericObjectPool.getLifo()`, activated and returned. If activation fails, or `testOnBorrow` is set to `true` and validation fails, the instance is destroyed and the next available instance is examined. This continues until either a valid instance is returned or there are no more idle instances available.

    If there are no idle instances available in the pool, behavior depends on the `maxTotal`, (if applicable) `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` and the value passed in the `maxWaitDuration` parameter. If the number of instances checked out from the pool is less than `maxTotal,` a new instance is created, activated and (if applicable) validated and returned to the caller. If validation fails, a `NoSuchElementException` is thrown. If the factory returns null when creating an instance, a `NullPointerException` is thrown.

    If the pool is exhausted (no available idle instances and no capacity to create new ones), this method will either block (if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true) or throw a `NoSuchElementException` (if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is false). The length of time that this method will block when `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true is determined by the value passed in to the `maxWaitDuration` parameter. Passing a negative duration will cause this method to block indefinitely until an object becomes available.

    When the pool is exhausted, multiple calling threads may be simultaneously blocked waiting for instances to become available. A "fairness" algorithm has been implemented to ensure that threads receive available instances in request arrival order.

    Parameters:
      `maxWaitDuration` - The time to wait for an object to become available, not null.
    Returns:
      object instance from the pool
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if an instance cannot be returned
      `Exception` - if an object instance cannot be returned due to an error
    Since:
      2.10.0

  - ### borrowObject

    @Deprecated public T borrowObject(long maxWaitMillis) throws Exception
    Deprecated.
    Use `borrowObject(Duration)`.
    Borrows an object from the pool using the specific waiting time which only applies if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true.

    If there is one or more idle instance available in the pool, then an idle instance will be selected based on the value of `BaseGenericObjectPool.getLifo()`, activated and returned. If activation fails, or `testOnBorrow` is set to `true` and validation fails, the instance is destroyed and the next available instance is examined. This continues until either a valid instance is returned or there are no more idle instances available.

    If there are no idle instances available in the pool, behavior depends on the `maxTotal`, (if applicable) `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` and the value passed in to the `maxWaitMillis` parameter. If the number of instances checked out from the pool is less than `maxTotal,` a new instance is created, activated and (if applicable) validated and returned to the caller. If validation fails, a `NoSuchElementException` is thrown. If the factory returns null when creating an instance, a `NullPointerException` is thrown.

    If the pool is exhausted (no available idle instances and no capacity to create new ones), this method will either block (if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true) or throw a `NoSuchElementException` (if `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is false). The length of time that this method will block when `BaseGenericObjectPool.getBlockWhenExhausted()` is true is determined by the value passed in to the `maxWaitMillis` parameter. Passing a negative duration will cause this method to block indefinitely until an object becomes available.

    When the pool is exhausted, multiple calling threads may be simultaneously blocked waiting for instances to become available. A "fairness" algorithm has been implemented to ensure that threads receive available instances in request arrival order.

    Parameters:
      `maxWaitMillis` - The time to wait in milliseconds for an object to become available
    Returns:
      object instance from the pool
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if an instance cannot be returned
      `Exception` - if an object instance cannot be returned due to an error

  - ### clear

    public void clear()
    Clears any objects sitting idle in the pool by removing them from the idle instance pool and then invoking the configured `PooledObjectFactory.destroyObject(PooledObject)` method on each idle instance.

    Implementation notes:

    - This method does not destroy or effect in any way instances that are checked out of the pool when it is invoked.
    - Invoking this method does not prevent objects being returned to the idle instance pool, even during its execution. Additional instances may be returned while removed items are being destroyed.
    - Exceptions encountered destroying idle instances are swallowed but notified via a `SwallowedExceptionListener`.
    Specified by:
      `clear` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`

  - ### close

    public void close()
    Closes the pool. Once the pool is closed, `borrowObject()` will fail with IllegalStateException, but `returnObject(Object)` and `invalidateObject(Object)` will continue to work, with returned objects destroyed on return.

    Destroys idle instances in the pool by invoking `clear()`.

    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Specified by:
      `close` in class `BaseGenericObjectPool<T>`

  - ### evict

    public void evict() throws Exception
    Perform `numTests` idle object eviction tests, evicting examined objects that meet the criteria for eviction. If `testWhileIdle` is true, examined objects are validated when visited (and removed if invalid); otherwise only objects that have been idle for more than `minEvicableIdleTimeMillis` are removed.

    Successive activations of this method examine objects in sequence, cycling through objects in oldest-to-youngest order.

    Specified by:
      `evict` in class `BaseGenericObjectPool<T>`
    Throws:
      `Exception` - when there is a problem evicting idle objects.

  - ### getFactory

    public PooledObjectFactory<T> getFactory()
    Gets a reference to the factory used to create, destroy and validate the objects used by this pool.
    Returns:
      the factory

  - ### getFactoryType

    public String getFactoryType()
    Gets the type - including the specific type rather than the generic - of the factory.
    Specified by:
      `getFactoryType` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Returns:
      A string representation of the factory type

  - ### getMaxIdle

    public int getMaxIdle()
    Gets the cap on the number of "idle" instances in the pool. If maxIdle is set too low on heavily loaded systems it is possible you will see objects being destroyed and almost immediately new objects being created. This is a result of the active threads momentarily returning objects faster than they are requesting them, causing the number of idle objects to rise above maxIdle. The best value for maxIdle for heavily loaded system will vary but the default is a good starting point.
    Specified by:
      `getMaxIdle` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Returns:
      the maximum number of "idle" instances that can be held in the pool or a negative value if there is no limit
    See Also:
      - `setMaxIdle(int)`

  - ### getMinIdle

    public int getMinIdle()
    Gets the target for the minimum number of idle objects to maintain in the pool. This setting only has an effect if it is positive and `BaseGenericObjectPool.getDurationBetweenEvictionRuns()` is greater than zero. If this is the case, an attempt is made to ensure that the pool has the required minimum number of instances during idle object eviction runs.

    If the configured value of minIdle is greater than the configured value for maxIdle then the value of maxIdle will be used instead.

    Specified by:
      `getMinIdle` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Returns:
      The minimum number of objects.
    See Also:
      - `setMinIdle(int)`
      - `setMaxIdle(int)`
      - `BaseGenericObjectPool.setDurationBetweenEvictionRuns(Duration)`

  - ### getNumActive

    public int getNumActive()
    Description copied from interface: `ObjectPool`
    Gets the number of instances currently borrowed from this pool. Returns a negative value if this information is not available.
    Specified by:
      `getNumActive` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Specified by:
      `getNumActive` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Returns:
      the number of instances currently borrowed from this pool.

  - ### getNumIdle

    public int getNumIdle()
    Description copied from class: `BaseGenericObjectPool`
    Gets the number of instances currently idle in this pool.
    Specified by:
      `getNumIdle` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Specified by:
      `getNumIdle` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Specified by:
      `getNumIdle` in class `BaseGenericObjectPool<T>`
    Returns:
      count of instances available for checkout from the pool

  - ### getNumWaiters

    public int getNumWaiters()
    Gets an estimate of the number of threads currently blocked waiting for an object from the pool. This is intended for monitoring only, not for synchronization control.
    Specified by:
      `getNumWaiters` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Returns:
      The estimate of the number of threads currently blocked waiting for an object from the pool

  - ### invalidateObject

    public void invalidateObject(T obj) throws Exception
    Invalidates an object from the pool.

    By contract, `obj` must have been obtained using `ObjectPool.borrowObject()` or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface.

    This method should be used when an object that has been borrowed is determined (due to an exception or other problem) to be invalid.

    Activation of this method decrements the active count and attempts to destroy the instance, using the default (NORMAL) `DestroyMode`.

    Specified by:
      `invalidateObject` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - a `borrowed` instance to be disposed.
    Throws:
      `Exception` - if an exception occurs destroying the
      `IllegalStateException` - if obj does not belong to this pool

  - ### invalidateObject

    public void invalidateObject(T obj, DestroyMode destroyMode) throws Exception
    Invalidates an object from the pool, using the provided `DestroyMode`

    By contract, `obj` must have been obtained using `ObjectPool.borrowObject()` or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface.

    This method should be used when an object that has been borrowed is determined (due to an exception or other problem) to be invalid.

    Activation of this method decrements the active count and attempts to destroy the instance, using the provided `DestroyMode`. To ensure liveness of the pool, `addObject()` is called to replace the invalidated instance.

    Specified by:
      `invalidateObject` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - a `borrowed` instance to be disposed.
      `destroyMode` - destroy activation context provided to the factory
    Throws:
      `Exception` - if an exception occurs destroying the object
      `IllegalStateException` - if obj does not belong to this pool
    Since:
      2.9.0

  - ### listAllObjects

    public Set<DefaultPooledObjectInfo> listAllObjects()
    Provides information on all the objects in the pool, both idle (waiting to be borrowed) and active (currently borrowed).

    Note: This is named listAllObjects so it is presented as an operation via JMX. That means it won't be invoked unless the explicitly requested whereas all attributes will be automatically requested when viewing the attributes for an object in a tool like JConsole.

    Specified by:
      `listAllObjects` in interface `GenericObjectPoolMXBean`
    Returns:
      Information grouped on all the objects in the pool

  - ### preparePool

    public void preparePool() throws Exception
    Tries to ensure that `getMinIdle()` idle instances are available in the pool.
    Throws:
      `Exception` - If the associated factory throws an exception.
    Since:
      2.4

  - ### returnObject

    public void returnObject(T obj)
    Returns an instance to the pool. By contract, `obj` must have been obtained using `ObjectPool.borrowObject()` or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface.

    If `maxIdle` is set to a positive value and the number of idle instances has reached this value, the returning instance is destroyed.

    If `testOnReturn` == true, the returning instance is validated before being returned to the idle instance pool. In this case, if validation fails, the instance is destroyed.

    Exceptions encountered destroying objects for any reason are swallowed but notified via a `SwallowedExceptionListener`.

    Specified by:
      `returnObject` in interface `ObjectPool<T>`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - a `borrowed` instance to be returned.

  - ### setConfig

    public void setConfig(GenericObjectPoolConfig<T> conf)
    Sets the base pool configuration.
    Parameters:
      `conf` - the new configuration to use. This is used by value.
    See Also:
      - `GenericObjectPoolConfig`

  - ### setMaxIdle

    public void setMaxIdle(int maxIdle)
    Sets the cap on the number of "idle" instances in the pool. If maxIdle is set too low on heavily loaded systems it is possible you will see objects being destroyed and almost immediately new objects being created. This is a result of the active threads momentarily returning objects faster than they are requesting them, causing the number of idle objects to rise above maxIdle. The best value for maxIdle for heavily loaded system will vary but the default is a good starting point.
    Parameters:
      `maxIdle` - The cap on the number of "idle" instances in the pool. Use a negative value to indicate an unlimited number of idle instances
    See Also:
      - `getMaxIdle()`

  - ### setMinIdle

    public void setMinIdle(int minIdle)
    Sets the target for the minimum number of idle objects to maintain in the pool. This setting only has an effect if it is positive and `BaseGenericObjectPool.getDurationBetweenEvictionRuns()` is greater than zero. If this is the case, an attempt is made to ensure that the pool has the required minimum number of instances during idle object eviction runs.

    If the configured value of minIdle is greater than the configured value for maxIdle then the value of maxIdle will be used instead.

    Parameters:
      `minIdle` - The minimum number of objects.
    See Also:
      - `getMinIdle()`
      - `getMaxIdle()`
      - `BaseGenericObjectPool.getDurationBetweenEvictionRuns()`
