Multi-user Datasources - Spring + Hibernate_问答_开发者

I'm writing a web app that supports multiple users. Each user has their own database - using H2. all database schemas are the same.

I wish to use Spring + Hibernate for this application.

So I'm stuck at how to associate a user's database with that user - maybe associated it in the HTTPSession, and extend spring's AbstractRoutingDataSource? but wouldn't this effect Hibernate's cache? Another way is to have a SessionFactory with each datasource, even though every datasource's schema is the same... so I see that as a waste.

Anyways selecting the datasource needs to be dynamic - they can't be pre-configured in context files, as e开发者_JAVA技巧ach new user will have its own database created. Is there any existing frameworks/solutions?

I don't know too much about Hibernate Shards, maybe that works?

I might be wrong about the (strict) need to have one SessionFactory per database, as suggested by some resources:

Dynamic DataSource Routing

I'll take some time to re-read everything tomorrow (I didn't get all the details to be honest) and to fully understand the implications of such a setup (although it seems clear that it will break the second-level cache). I'll come back on this later.

I wonder how this will scale... How many users do you have? How do you run H2, what mode?

You'll have to build a SessionFactory per user and associate it to the logged user (in a Map, using the login as key) and then obtain a Session from a given SessionFactory. Binding the lifecycle of the SessionFactory to the HTTP session seems to be a good idea (to save some memory) but I am not sure Spring will be very helpful here. I might be wrong but a variation of the HibernateUtil class and a fully programmatic approach looks easier. I'm not sure you'll need multiple connections per user by the way.

What cache?

Oh, it's a waste, but that's what you want to do (one database per user). And you don't have the choice (you need one SessionFactory per datadabase). Why do you need one database per user actually? Are you sure this is a wise decision? As already hinted, this means much troubles, won't scale well, adds complexity, etc. Why not using a single database and associating data to the user?

Not to my knowledge. Which is also why I think you'll have to do everything programatically.
