Class XConnection

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.apache.xalan.lib.sql.XConnection

public class XConnection
extends java.lang.Object

An XSLT extension that allows a stylesheet to access JDBC data. It is accessed by specifying a namespace URI as follows:

        xmlns:sql="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/sql"

From the stylesheet perspective, XConnection provides 3 extension functions: new(), query(), and close(). Use new() to call one of XConnection constructors, which establishes a JDBC driver connection to a data source and returns an XConnection object. Then use the XConnection object query() method to return a result set in the form of a row-set element. When you have finished working with the row-set, call the XConnection object close() method to terminate the connection.

### enableDefaultConnectionPool

    public void enableDefaultConnectionPool()

  Deprecated. Use setFeature("default-pool-enabled", "true");
  There is a problem with some JDBC drivers when a Connection is open and the JVM shutsdown. If there is a problem, there is no way to control the currently open connections in the pool. So for the default connection pool, the actuall pooling mechinsm is disabled by default. The Stylesheet designer can re-enabled pooling to take advantage of connection pools. The connection pool can even be disabled which will close all outstanding connections.

### disableDefaultConnectionPool

    public void disableDefaultConnectionPool()

  Deprecated. Use setFeature("default-pool-enabled", "false");
  See enableDefaultConnectionPool

### enableStreamingMode

    public void enableStreamingMode()

  Deprecated. Use setFeature("streaming", "true");
  Control how the SQL Document uses memory. In Streaming Mode, memory consumption is greatly reduces so you can have queries of unlimited size but it will not let you traverse the data more than once.

### disableStreamingMode

    public void disableStreamingMode()

  Deprecated. Use setFeature("streaming", "false");
  Control how the SQL Document uses memory. In Streaming Mode, memory consumption is greatly reduces so you can have queries of unlimited size but it will not let you traverse the data more than once.

### getError

  Throws:
    java.sql.SQLException -

### setError

    public void setError(java.lang.Exception excp,
                         ExpressionContext expr)

  This is an internal version of Set Error that is called withen XConnection where there is no SQLDocument created yet. As in the Connect statement or creation of the ConnectionPool.

    public void setError(java.lang.Exception excp,
                         SQLDocument doc,

    `feature` - The name of the feature being set, currently supports (streaming, inline-variables, multiple-results, cache-statements, default-pool-enabled).
