             New MapServer Connection Pooling 
             ================================

This attempts to describe how the new connection pooling support (introduced
Sept/2004) works and what the maintainer of a connection type needs to do
to take advantage of it. 

First, the new connection pooling support makes the assumption that
a connection can be abstracted as a void pointer.  Further it assumes that
the connection identify is unique defined by the connection string and
the connection type on layers.  So if two layers have the same connection
type and connection string that they can share a connection handle. 

The old connection sharing was based on searching previous layers in the
same map for a layer to copy an existing connection from.  That was ok for
sharing connection between layers in the same map, but didn't address the
need to share connections over a longer term as is the case in a FastCGI
situation where the cgi is long running and handles many CGI requests.  

The mapool.c code essentially maintains a cache of open connections with the
following information for each:
  - connectiontype / connection
  - connection handle
  - reference count
  - life span indicator
  - callback function to close the connection. 

The life span indicator is controlled by the CLOSE_CONNECTION PROCESSING
option on the layer(s).  If this is set to NORMAL (or not set at all) the
connection will be close as soon as the reference count drops to zero.  This
is MS_LIFE_ZEROREF, and in normal use results in connections only be shared
between layers in a given map as the connection will be closed when no layers
are open against it anymore.  The other possible value for the CLOSE_CONNECTION
option is DEFER which basically results in the connection being kept open
till the application closes (msCleanup() will ensure the connection is closed
on exit if called).  This case is called MS_LIFE_FOREVER.

The callback is a function provided with the connection handle when it is
registered.  It takes a single "void *" argument which is the connection
handle. 

Updating a Driver
-----------------

The following are the steps to ensure a particular format/database supports
connection pooling (ie. mapsde.c, mappostgis.c, maporacle.c, mapogr.cpp, etc)  
We will use POSTGIS names for convenience. 

1) in msPOSTGISLayerOpen() call msConnPoolRequest(layer) in order to get
   a database connection. 

        layerinfo->conn = (PGconn *) msConnPoolRequest( layer );

2) In msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): if msConnPoolRequest() returned NULL then 
   manually open a connection to the database (ie. PQconnectcb()) and then
   register this handle with the pool API by calling msmsConnPoolRegister().

	    layerinfo->conn = PQconnectdb( layer->connection );

            if (PQstatus(layerinfo->conn) == CONNECTION_BAD)
               <report error>
            else
                msConnPoolRegister( layer, layerinfo->conn, 
                                    msPOSTGISCloseConnection );

3) Implement a callback function (msPOSTGISCloseConnection) that the 
   connection pooling API can call when it wants to close the connection. 

   static void msPOSTGISCloseConnection( void *conn_handle )

   {
       PQfinish( (PGconn*) conn_handle );
   }

4) In msPOSTGISLayerClose() release the connection handle instead of 
   directly closing it. 

            msConnPoolRelease( layer, layerinfo->conn );
            layerinfo->conn = NULL;

5) If there was any use of msCheckConnection() or the "sameconnection" 
   member of the layerObj, then old style connection pooling is already
   present.  Remove it.

Thats it!

Other Notes
-----------

o The connection pooling API will report details about connection 
  registrations, requests, releases and closes if the layer debug flag is
  on for the layers in question. 

o Currently the connection pooling API makes not attempt to address 
  multi-threading issues.  In particular, it will currently allow a 
  connection to be shared between different threads, and no effort is
  made to ensure that only one thread at a time is updating the connection
  pool.  This should likely be altered to only share a connection within
  a thread, and protect updates to the connection pool with a lock.
