public final class FewestConnectionsServerSet
extends ServerSet

This class provides a server set implementation that will establish a connection to the server with the fewest established connections previously created by the same server set instance. If there are multiple servers that share the fewest number of established connections, the first one in the list will be chosen. If a server is unavailable when an attempt is made to establish a connection to it, then the connection will be established to the available server with the next fewest number of established connections.

This server set implementation has the ability to maintain a temporary blacklist of servers that have been recently found to be unavailable or unsuitable for use. If an attempt to establish or authenticate a connection fails, if post-connect processing fails for that connection, or if health checking indicates that the connection is not suitable, then that server may be placed on the blacklist so that it will only be tried as a last resort after all non-blacklisted servers have been attempted. The blacklist will be checked at regular intervals to determine whether a server should be re-instated to availability.

Note that this server set implementation is primarily intended for use with connection pools, but is also suitable for cases in which standalone connections are created as long as there will not be any attempt to close the connections when they are re-established. It is not suitable for use in connections that may be re-established one or more times after being closed.

Example

The following example demonstrates the process for creating a fewest connections server set that may be used to establish connections to either of two servers.

 // Create arrays with the addresses and ports of the directory server
 // instances.
 String[] addresses =
 {
   server1Address,
   server2Address
 };
 int[] ports =
 {
   server1Port,
   server2Port
 };

 // Create the server set using the address and port arrays.
 FewestConnectionsServerSet fewestConnectionsSet =
      new FewestConnectionsServerSet(addresses, ports);

 // Verify that we can establish a single connection using the server set.
 LDAPConnection connection = fewestConnectionsSet.getConnection();
 RootDSE rootDSEFromConnection = connection.getRootDSE();
 connection.close();

 // Verify that we can establish a connection pool using the server set.
 SimpleBindRequest bindRequest =
      new SimpleBindRequest("uid=pool.user,dc=example,dc=com", "password");
 LDAPConnectionPool pool =
      new LDAPConnectionPool(fewestConnectionsSet, bindRequest, 10);
 RootDSE rootDSEFromPool = pool.getRootDSE();
 pool.close();

getConnection

@NotNull
public LDAPConnection getConnection()
                                      throws LDAPException

Attempts to establish a connection to one of the directory servers in this server set. The connection that is returned must be established. The ServerSet.includesAuthentication() must return true if and only if the connection will also be authenticated, and the ServerSet.includesPostConnectProcessing() method must return true if and only if pre-authentication and post-authentication post-connect processing will have been performed. The caller may determine the server to which the connection is established using the LDAPConnection.getConnectedAddress() and LDAPConnection.getConnectedPort() methods.

Specified by:

getConnection in class ServerSet

Returns:

An LDAPConnection object that is established to one of the servers in this server set.

Throws:

LDAPException - If it is not possible to establish a connection to any of the servers in this server set.

getConnection

@NotNull
public LDAPConnection getConnection(@Nullable

                                      throws LDAPException

Attempts to establish a connection to one of the directory servers in this server set, using the provided health check to further validate the connection.

If it is non-null and this server set performs authentication, then the health check's ensureConnectionValidAfterAuthentication method will be invoked immediately after the bind operation is processed (regardless of whether the bind was successful or not). And regardless of whether this server set performs authentication, the health check's ensureNewConnectionValid method must be invoked on the connection to ensure that it is valid immediately before it is returned.

Returns:

An LDAPConnection object that is established to one of the servers in this server set.

Throws:

LDAPException - If it is not possible to establish a connection to any of the servers in this server set.
