C3P0 Hibernate
Hibernate has its own connection pool but not suited for industrial use. In this section, you will learn how to use third party connection pool C3P0 with Hibernate.
Connection pool is the cache of the database connections recently used , which reuses the connection when the future reconnection request comes in future. In this way it reduces the cost of opening and closing of database since opening and closing is expensive process.
You can download C3P0 jar file from here.
Here is the video tutorial of: "How to use c3p0 Connection pool with Hibernate?"
EXAMPLE
In the below example, we will configure C3P0 in hibernate.cfg.xml as follows :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <!-- Database connection settings --> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.13:3306/anky</property> <property name="connection.username">root</property> <property name="connection.password">root</property> <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property> <property name="show_sql">true</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">20</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">300</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">50</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">3000</property> <mapping class="net.roseindia.Worker"/> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration>
The functions of C3P0 property tag is given below :
| C3P0 Tag | Function | Hibernate Default |
| hibernate.c3p0.min_size | Sets the minimum number of JDBC connection in the pool. | 1 |
| hibernate.c3p0.max_size | Sets the maximum number of JDBC connection in the pool. | 100 |
| hibernate.c3p0.timeout | Sets the idle connection timeout time/ removal time period(in seconds). | 0, never expire |
| hibernate.c3p0.max_statements | Number/Count of maximum prepared statement which will cached | 0, caching is disabled. |
| hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period | Sets the idle time in seconds before a connection is automatically validated. | 0 |

The query used to create worker table is given below :
CREATE TABLE `worker` ( `worker_id` bigint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, `firstname` varchar(50) default NULL, `lastname` varchar(50) default NULL, `birth_date` date NOT NULL, `cell_phone` varchar(15) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`worker_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Worker worker = new Worker();
worker.setFirstname("Alexander");
worker.setLastname("Houstan");
worker.setBirthDate(dob);
worker.setCellphone("919595959595");
session.save(worker);
session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();
}
}
OUTPUT
In console, you will get the following output :
Hibernate: insert into worker (birth_date, cell_phone, firstname, lastname) values (?, ?, ?, ?)
In worker table, you will get the following record
