Example: Setting client information with the setClientInformation(Properties) API

We can set WebSphere Application Server client information on connections to pass that information to your database with this API.

The following example code calls setClientInformation(Properties) on the com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection object.

import com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection;
.....
try {
   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
   //Perform a naming service lookup to get the DataSource object.
   DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/jdbc/myDS");
  }catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("got an exception during lookup:"  + e);}
   WSConnection conn = (WSConnection) ds.getConnection();
  Properties props = new properties();
  props.setProperty(WSConnection.CLIENT_ID, "user123");
  props.setProperty(WSConnection.CLIENT_LOCATION, "127.0.0.1");
  props.setProperty(WSConnection.CLIENT_ACCOUNTING_INFO, "accounting");
  props.setProperty(WSConnection.CLIENT_APPLICATION_NAME, "appname");
  props.setProperty(WSConnection.CLIENT_OTHER_INFO, "cool stuff");
  conn.setClientInformation(props);
  conn.close()

Parameters

props contains the client information to be passed. Possible values are:

• WSConnection.CLIENT_ACCOUNTING_INFO

• WSConnection.CLIENT_LOCATION

• WSConnection.CLIENT_ID

• WSConnection.CLIENT_APPLICATION_NAME

• WSConnection.CLIENT_OTHER_INFO

• WSConnection.OTHER_CLIENT_TYPE

Refer to the WSConnection documentation for more details on which client information is passed to the backend database. To reset the client information, call the method with a null parameter.

Exceptions

This API creates an SQL exception if the database issues an exception when setting the data.
