Concurrent access using JDBC in Java

I'm developing a Java Desktop Application using JDBC, and I wanted to manage the concurrent access to the Database. Someone told me to use Sessions but after some research it turned out that Sessions are not possible in Desktop app.

This开发者_如何学Go is why I'm asking for some help. You have any ideas on how to manage this thing.

Thanks

From what you described, I recommend you to check for SQL exceptions while trying to insert or update some row that may be already be changed by someone else. In that case maybe you should reload what your app shows to the user so they have up-to-date data. Another option is to show a user-friendly error.

If your app executes several queries (insert, update) in a row, I suggest using transactions. I think the easiest way to set them in a Desktop app is to use the Spring framework, if you are familiar with it.

It is not clear exactly what you mean by manage concurrent access - do you want to avoid multiple select queries to the DB? In that case using SELECT for UPDATE might be an option. If you are looking for more general method in limiting only single user to access the DB at any time, you will have to roll your own locking mechanism in the code I suppose.

So long as each Thread is using a different Connection, there should not be any concurrency issues in the JDBC. There are any number of ways to achieve this. e.g. ThreadLocal or a connection pool.

I don't see how a single desktop app can be accessed by many users. You can have many copies of a desktop app and each user has their own connections. This shouldn't cause an issue. You need to clarify what your concern is.
