MakumbaSystem

public MakumbaSystem()

Method Detail

getCacheInfo

public static Map<String,int[]> getCacheInfo()

Get information about the makumba cache sizes.

Returns:

a Map with cache categories as keys and cache sizes as values

Since:

makumba-0.5.5.13

getDefaultDatabaseName

@Deprecated

getConnectionTo

@Deprecated
public static Transaction getConnectionTo(String name)

Deprecated. use TransactionProvider.getConnectionTo(String) instead

Get a connection to the database described in the .properties file with the given name.

Parameters:

name - the database name, the same as the db description file but without ".properties". for example "localhost_mysql_databasename". The file should be in CLASSPATH. The operations carried out during database initialization are logged (see Logger, setLoggingRoot(java.lang.String)) in the "db.init" and "db.init.tablechecking" loggers, with Level.INFO (connections, checkings), Level.SEVERE (fatal errors) and with Level.WARNING logging levels.

Since:

makumba-0.5.4

findDatabase

@Deprecated
public static Transaction findDatabase()

Deprecated. This method name is misleading since it returns a connection, not a database. Use getConnectionTo(getDefaultDatabaseName()) instead

Get a connection to the default database found according to Makumba.conf

Since:

makumba-0.5

getDatabase

@Deprecated
public static Transaction getDatabase(String connectionFile)

Deprecated. This method name is misleading since it returns a connection, not a database. Use getConnectionTo(connectionFile) instead

Since:

makumba-0.5

getDataDefinition

@Deprecated
public static DataDefinition getDataDefinition(String typeName)

Deprecated. Use DataDefinitionProvider.getDataDefinition(String) instead

Get the DataDefinition defined by the given type. The type a.b.C will generate a lookup for the file CLASSPATH/a/b/C.mdd and then for CLASSPATH/dataDefinitions/a/b/C.mdd

getVersion

public static String getVersion()

Returns a Makumba version (derived from a CVS tag)

getBuildDate

public static Date getBuildDate()

getMakumbaLogger

public static Logger getMakumbaLogger(String suffix)

Get a logger for logging during makumba operations. See Logger, setLoggingRoot(java.lang.String). This method is mostly used by makumba code. From application code, use getLogger(java.lang.String) or getLogger().

The table below describes when makumba logging occurs and at what logging Level (note also that Level.SEVERE and Level.WARNING logging is done in makumba when fatal errors or warnings occur).

The logging levels below tell the programmer how to configure logging so that some parts of the makumba logging become visible. For example, details on database update performance are not normally visible on the log, since they are at Level.FINE logging level, and Level.INFO is default. To view them, one needs to add the following line in logging.properties(see LogManager for explanations of logger configuration)

org.makumba.update.performance.level=FINE

The programmer could just as well decide that all makumba logging at or over the level FINE should be visible, except for the one on taglib performance:

org.makumba.level=FINE
org.makumba.taglib.performance.level=INFO

Operation	Log name	Logging details	Logging level
application operations	loggingRoot + apps+ the parameter to getLogger(java.lang.String)	logging level used by applications that call getLogger(java.lang.String) and getLogger()	any, as required by the application
database opening	loggingRoot + db.init, db.init.tablechecking	see getConnectionTo(java.lang.String)	Level.INFO
connection pooling	loggingRoot + util.pool	infomrmation on the size of the database connection pool	Level.FINE
database administration	loggingRoot + db.admin.copy, db.admin.delete	see copy._copy(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], boolean), HtmlTableImporter._delete(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], boolean)	Level.INFO
database querying	loggingRoot + db.query.compilation, db.query.execution, db.query.performance	see Transaction.executeQuery(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), Transaction.read(org.makumba.Pointer, java.lang.Object)	Level.FINE
database query grouping	loggingRoot + db.query.grouping	grouping used during simulated left joins, e.g. in executing embedded <mak:list> JSP tags	Level.FINE
taglib performace	loggingRoot + taglib.performance	performance info needed to fine-tune <mak:list> and other makumba JSP tags	Level.FINE
database updating	loggingRoot + db.update.execution, db.update.performance	see Transaction, all insert, delete, and update operations	Level.FINE
business logic discovery	loggingRoot + controller	The steps taken when finding business logic classes	Level.INFO
errors during business logic calls	loggingRoot + controller.logicError	Runtime (probably involuntary) errors produced by the business logic programmer	Level.INFO
swaping of large content to disk	loggingRoot + util.longContent	tells when large content in Text or large content produced by a mak:list tag are swapped to disk	Level.FINE

Since:

makumba-0.5.5.3
