Class SimpleConnectionFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.sap.mdm.net.SimpleConnectionFactory

public class SimpleConnectionFactory

extends java.lang.Object

This class allows for creating a connection to the MDM server. A connection is needed whenever the MDM Java API needs to communicate with the MDM server. A connection is tied to a specific MDM server.

A simple connection is used, as opposed to a connection pool, in cases where there is no need for the more complex connection pool or when there exist a service that provide resource pooling.

Each call to getInstance returns a new instance.

Examples of connection tags:
localhost
The MDM server is on the local machine and the default port number of 20005.

MyMachine;40000
The MDM server is on the "MyMachine" and the port number is 40000.
