Class ConnectionFactory

java.lang.Object
javax.xml.registry.ConnectionFactory
public abstract class ConnectionFactory extends Object
This is the abstract base class for factory classes for creating a Jakarta XML Registries connection. A Jakarta XML Registries ConnectionFactory object is configured in a provider-specific way to create connections with registry providers.

Looking Up a ConnectionFactory Using the JNDI API

The preferred way for a client to look up a Jakarta XML Registries ConnectionFactory is within the Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) API. A ConnectionFactory object is registered with a naming service in a provider specific way, such as one based on the JNDI API. This registration associates the ConnectionFactory object with a logical name. When an application wants to establish a connection with the provider associated with that ConnectionFactory object, it does a lookup, providing the logical name. The application can then use the ConnectionFactory object that is returned to create a connection to the messaging provider.

Looking Up a ConnectionFactory Without Using the JNDI API

The Jakarta XML Registries provides an alternative way to look up a Jakarta XML Registries ConnectionFactory that does not require the use of the JNDI API. This is done using the newInstance static method on the abstract class ConnectionFactory provided in the Jakarta XML Registries API. The newInstance method returns a Jakarta XML Registries ConnectionFactory. The client may indicate which factory class should be instantiated by the newInstance method by defining the system property javax.xml.registry.ConnectionFactoryClass. If this property is not set, the Jakarta XML Registries provider must return a default ConnectionFactory instance.

      public abstract void setProperties(Properties properties) throws JAXRException
      Sets the Properties used during createConnection and createFederatedConnection calls.
      Standard Connection Properties:
      javax.xml.registry.queryManagerURL - URL String for the query manager service within the target registry provider

      javax.xml.registry.security.authenticationMethod - string that provides a hint to the Jakarta XML Registries provider on the authentication method to be used when authenticating with the registry provider. Possible value include but are not limited to "UDDI_GET_AUTHTOKEN", "HTTP_BASIC", "CLIENT_CERTIFICATE", "MS_PASSPORT"
      javax.xml.registry.uddi.maxRows - integer that specifies the maximum number of rows to be returned for find operations. This property is specific for UDDI providers
