import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

A "keyed" pooling interface.

A keyed pool pools instances of multiple types. Each type may be accessed using an arbitrary key.

Example of use:

 Object obj = null;
Object key = "Key";
try {
    obj = pool.borrowObject(key);
    //...use the object...
} catch(Exception e) {
    // invalidate the object
    pool.invalidateObject(key, obj);
    // do not return the object to the pool twice
    obj = null;
} finally {
    // make sure the object is returned to the pool
    if(null != obj) {
        pool.returnObject(key, obj);
    }
}

KeyedObjectPool implementations may choose to store at most one instance per key value, or may choose to maintain a pool of instances for each key (essentially creating a Map of pools).

See BaseKeyedObjectPool for a simple base implementation.

Type parameters:
  • <K> – the type of keys in this pool

public interface KeyedObjectPool<K, V> {
Obtains an instance from this pool for the specified key.

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

By contract, clients must return the borrowed object using returnObject, invalidateObject, or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface, using a key that is equivalent to the one used to borrow the instance in the first place.

The behaviour of this method when the pool has been exhausted is not strictly specified (although it may be specified by implementations). Older versions of this method would return null to indicate exhaustion, newer versions are encouraged to throw a NoSuchElementException.

Params:
  • key – the key used to obtain the object
Throws:
Returns:an instance from this pool.

V borrowObject(K key) throws Exception, NoSuchElementException, IllegalStateException;
Return an instance to the pool. By contract, obj must have been obtained using borrowObject or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface using a key that is equivalent to the one used to borrow the instance in the first place.
Params:
  • key – the key used to obtain the object
  • obj – a borrowed instance to be returned.
Throws:
/** * Return an instance to the pool. * By contract, <code>obj</code> <strong>must</strong> have been obtained * using {@link #borrowObject borrowObject} * or a related method as defined in an implementation * or sub-interface * using a <code>key</code> that is equivalent to the one used to * borrow the instance in the first place. * * @param key the key used to obtain the object * @param obj a {@link #borrowObject borrowed} instance to be returned. * @throws Exception */
void returnObject(K key, V obj) throws Exception;

Invalidates an object from the pool.

By contract, obj must have been obtained using borrowObject or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface using a key that is equivalent to the one used to borrow the Object in the first place.

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

Params:
  • key – the key used to obtain the object
  • obj – a borrowed instance to be returned.
Throws:
/** * <p>Invalidates an object from the pool.</p> * * <p>By contract, <code>obj</code> <strong>must</strong> have been obtained * using {@link #borrowObject borrowObject} or a related method as defined * in an implementation or sub-interface using a <code>key</code> that is * equivalent to the one used to borrow the <code>Object</code> in the first place.</p> * * <p>This method should be used when an object that has been borrowed * is determined (due to an exception or other problem) to be invalid.</p> * * @param key the key used to obtain the object * @param obj a {@link #borrowObject borrowed} instance to be returned. * @throws Exception */
void invalidateObject(K key, V obj) throws Exception;
Create an object using the factory or other implementation dependent mechanism, passivate it, and then place it in the idle object pool. addObject is useful for "pre-loading" a pool with idle objects (Optional operation).
Params:
  • key – the key a new instance should be added to

Clears the pool, removing all pooled instances (optional operation). Throws UnsupportedOperationException if the pool cannot be cleared.
Throws:

Clears the specified pool, removing all pooled instances corresponding to the given key (optional operation). Throws UnsupportedOperationException if the pool cannot be cleared.
Params:

void clear(K key) throws Exception, UnsupportedOperationException;
Close this pool, and free any resources associated with it.

Calling addObject or borrowObject after invoking this method on a pool will cause them to throw an IllegalStateException.

Throws:

Sets the factory the pool uses to create new instances (optional operation). Trying to change the factory after a pool has been used will frequently throw an UnsupportedOperationException. It is up to the pool implementation to determine when it is acceptable to call this method.
Params:
Throws:
Deprecated:to be removed in pool 2.0
