Method Detail

isOpen

boolean isOpen()

Is this logical connection open? Another phraseology sometimes used is: "are we logically connected"?

Returns:

True if logically connected; false otherwise.

isPhysicallyConnected

boolean isPhysicallyConnected()

Is this logical connection instance "physically" connected. Meaning do we currently internally have a cached connection.

Returns:

True if physically connected; false otherwise.

getConnection

Connection getConnection()

Retrieves the connection currently "logically" managed by this LogicalConnectionImpl.

Note, that we may need to obtain a connection to return here if a connection has either not yet been obtained (non-UserSuppliedConnectionProvider) or has previously been aggressively released.

Returns:

The current Connection.

close

Connection close()

Release the underlying connection and clean up any other resources associated with this logical connection.

This leaves the logical connection in a "no longer usable" state.

Returns:

The application-supplied connection, or null if Hibernate was managing connection.
