Class PooledProxyBeanDefinitionDecorator

java.lang.Object
  gate.util.spring.xml.PooledProxyBeanDefinitionDecorator

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionDecorator

public class PooledProxyBeanDefinitionDecorator
extends Object
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionDecorator

Bean decorator to easily create a pool of target beans.

 <bean id="myBean" class="some.pkg.MyBean">
   <property name="gateApplication" ref="app" />
   <gate:pooled-proxy max-size="3" />
 </bean>
 

This replaces the myBean bean with a proxy that delegates to a pool of target objects. The targets are obtained by converting the original myBean definition to a prototype-scoped bean definition and setting that as the targetBeanName of a CommonsPoolTargetSource. The CommonsPoolTargetSource is then used as the target source for a standard ProxyFactoryBean, which is created with the scope specified in the original myBean definition (usually singleton).

If the pooled-proxy element has an attribute proxy-target-class, this value is passed through to the generated ProxyFactoryBean. All other attributes are passed through to the CommonsPoolTargetSource. The element also supports an initial-size attribute. If specified it will pre-populate the pool with this number of instances, which is useful if you want to load several copies of a saved application up-front (the normal behaviour of a Spring pool is to only instantiate the pooled objects as and when they are required).

NOTE In addition to the spring-aop JAR, you also need the Apache commons-pool JAR and its dependencies available to your application in order to use this class.
