XQDataSource

```
public interface XQDataSource
```
An XQDataSource is a factory for XQConnection objects. The datasource may be obtained from a JNDI source or through other means.
The XQuery connection (XQConnection) objects may be created using an existing JDBC connection. This is an optional feature that may not be supported by all implementations. If the implementation supports this mechanism, then the XQuery connection may inherit some of the JDBC connection's properties, such as login timeout, log writer etc.

- Method Detail
  - getConnection
```
XQConnection getConnection()
                    throws XQException
```
    Attempts to create a connection to an XML datasource.
    
    Returns:
    
    a connection to the XML datasource
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs
  - getConnection
```
XQConnection getConnection(Connection con)
                    throws XQException
```
    Attempts to create a connection to an XML datasource using an existing JDBC connection. An XQJ implementation is not required to support this method. If it is not supported, then an exception (XQException) is thrown. The XQJ and JDBC connections will operate under the same transaction context.
    
    Parameters:
    
    con - an existing JDBC connection
    
    Returns:
    
    a connection to the XML datasource
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) a datasource access error occurs, (2) the implementation does not support this method of getting an XQConnection, or (3) if the con parameter is null
  - getConnection
```
XQConnection getConnection(String username,
                           String passwd)
                    throws XQException
```
    Attempts to establish a connection to an XML datasource using the supplied username and password.
    
    Parameters:
    
    username - the user on whose behalf the connection is being made
    
    passwd - the user's password
    
    Returns:
    
    a connection to the XML datasource
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs
  - getLoginTimeout
```
int getLoginTimeout()
             throws XQException
```
    Gets the maximum time in seconds that this datasource can wait while attempting to connect to a database. A value of zero means that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it means that there is no timeout. When a XQDataSource object is created, the login timeout is initially zero. It is implementation-defined whether the returned login timeout is actually used by the data source implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the datasource login time limit
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs
  - getLogWriter
```
PrintWriter getLogWriter()
                  throws XQException
```
    Retrieves the log writer for this XQDataSource object. The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this datasource will be printed. This includes messages printed by the methods of this object, messages printed by methods of other objects manufactured by this object, and so on. When a XQDataSource object is created, the log writer is initially null; in other words, the default is for logging to be disabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the log writer for this datasource or null if logging is disabled
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs
  - getSupportedPropertyNames
```
String[] getSupportedPropertyNames()
```
    Returns an array containing the property names supported by this XQDataSource. Implementations that support user name and password must recognize the user name and password properties listed below.
    
    user the user name to use for creating a connection
    
    password the password to use for creating a connection
    
    Any additional properties are implementation-defined.
    
    Returns:
    
    String[] an array of property names supported by this implementation
  - setProperty
```
void setProperty(String name,
                 String value)
          throws XQException
```
    Sets the named property to the specified value. If a property with the same name was already set, then this method will override the old value for that property with the new value.
    If the implementation does not support the given property or if it can determine that the value given for this property is invalid, then an exception is thrown. If an exception is thrown, then no previous value is overwritten.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property to set
    
    value - the value of the named property
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the given property is not recognized, (2) the value for the given property is determined to be invalid, or (3) the name parameter is null
  - getProperty
```
String getProperty(String name)
            throws XQException
```
    Returns the current value of the named property if set, else null. If the implementation does not support the given property then an exception is raised.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property whose value is needed
    
    Returns:
    
    String representing the value of the required property if set, else null
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) a given property is not supported, or (2) the name parameter is null
  - setProperties
```
void setProperties(Properties props)
            throws XQException
```
    Sets the data source properties from the specified Properties instance. Properties set before this call will still apply but those with the same name as any of these properties will be replaced. Properties set after this call also apply and may replace properties set during this call.
    If the implementation does not support one or more of the given property names, or if it can determine that the value given for a specific property is invalid, then an exception is thrown. If an exception is thrown, then no previous value is overwritten. is invalid, then an exception is raised.
    
    Parameters:
    
    props - the list of properties to set
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) a given property is not recognized, (2) the value for a given property is determined to be invalid, or (3) the props parameter is null
  - setLoginTimeout
```
void setLoginTimeout(int seconds)
              throws XQException
```
    Sets the maximum time in seconds that this datasource will wait while attempting to connect to a database. A value of zero specifies that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it specifies that there is no timeout. When a XQDataSource object is created, the login timeout is initially zero. It is implementation-defined whether the specified login timeout is actually used by the data source implementation. If the connection is created over an existing JDBC connection, then the login timeout value from the underlying JDBC connection may be used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    seconds - the datasource login time limit
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs
  - setLogWriter
```
void setLogWriter(PrintWriter out)
           throws XQException
```
    Sets the log writer for this XQDataSource object to the given java.io.PrintWriter object. The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this datasource will be printed. This includes messages printed by the methods of this object, messages printed by methods of other objects manufactured by this object, and so on. When a XQDataSource object is created the log writer is initially null; in other words, the default is for logging to be disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - the new log writer; to disable logging, set to null
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if a datasource access error occurs

`user`	the user name to use for creating a connection
`password`	the password to use for creating a connection
