Class EmbeddedDatabaseFactory

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

EmbeddedDatabaseFactoryBean

public class EmbeddedDatabaseFactory
extends Object

Factory for creating an EmbeddedDatabase instance.

Callers are guaranteed that the returned database has been fully initialized and populated.

The factory can be configured as follows:

• Call generateUniqueDatabaseName to set a unique, random name for the database.
• Call setDatabaseName(java.lang.String) to set an explicit name for the database.
• Call setDatabaseType(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseType) to set the database type if you wish to use one of the supported types.
• Call setDatabaseConfigurer(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseConfigurer) to configure support for a custom embedded database type.
• Call setDatabasePopulator(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.DatabasePopulator) to change the algorithm used to populate the database.
• Call setDataSourceFactory(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.DataSourceFactory) to change the type of DataSource used to connect to the database.

After configuring the factory, call getDatabase() to obtain a reference to the EmbeddedDatabase instance.

Method Details

setGenerateUniqueDatabaseName

public void setGenerateUniqueDatabaseName(boolean generateUniqueDatabaseName)

Set the generateUniqueDatabaseName flag to enable or disable generation of a pseudo-random unique ID to be used as the database name.

Setting this flag to true overrides any explicit name set via setDatabaseName(java.lang.String).

Since:

4.2

See Also:

• setDatabaseName(java.lang.String)

setDatabaseName

public void setDatabaseName(String databaseName)

Set the name of the database.

Defaults to "testdb".

Will be overridden if the generateUniqueDatabaseName flag has been set to true.

Parameters:

databaseName - name of the embedded database

See Also:

• setGenerateUniqueDatabaseName(boolean)

setDataSourceFactory

public void setDataSourceFactory(DataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory)

Set the factory to use to create the DataSource instance that connects to the embedded database.

Defaults to SimpleDriverDataSourceFactory.

setDatabaseType

public void setDatabaseType(EmbeddedDatabaseType type)

Set the type of embedded database to use.

Call this when you wish to configure one of the pre-supported types.

Defaults to HSQL.

Parameters:

type - the database type

setDatabaseConfigurer

public void setDatabaseConfigurer(EmbeddedDatabaseConfigurer configurer)

Set the strategy that will be used to configure the embedded database instance.

Call this when you wish to use an embedded database type not already supported.

setDatabasePopulator

public void setDatabasePopulator(DatabasePopulator populator)

Set the strategy that will be used to initialize or populate the embedded database.

Defaults to null.

getDatabase

public EmbeddedDatabase getDatabase()

Factory method that returns the embedded database instance, which is also a DataSource.

initDatabase

protected void initDatabase()

Hook to initialize the embedded database.

If the generateUniqueDatabaseName flag has been set to true, the current value of the database name will be overridden with an auto-generated name.

Subclasses may call this method to force initialization; however, this method should only be invoked once.

After calling this method, getDataSource() returns the DataSource providing connectivity to the database.

shutdownDatabase

protected void shutdownDatabase()

Hook to shut down the embedded database. Subclasses may call this method to force shutdown.

After calling, getDataSource() returns null.

Does nothing if no embedded database has been initialized.

getDataSource

@Nullable
protected final DataSource getDataSource()

Hook that gets the DataSource that provides the connectivity to the embedded database.

Returns null if the DataSource has not been initialized or if the database has been shut down. Subclasses may call this method to access the DataSource instance directly.
