[dtp-connect-dev] ConnectionInfo Vs. IConnectionProfile

[Hui.Cao@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
        I'm
a SQL Dev Tools committer. Here I have a question about the ConnectionInfo
class.
        I
found ConnectionInfo is used all over in RDB and there are some similarities
bewteen it and the new IConnectionProfile. Also I think some of the methods
defined in ConnectionInfo is interesting to SQL Dev Tools, such as:

/**
         *
@return the database definition associated to this connection info
         */
        public
DatabaseDefinition getDatabaseDefinition();
        
        /**
         *
Share a connection. If there is a shared connection already, an IllegalStateException
will be thrown.
         *
If the function succeeds, notification will be sent out to all registered
listeners
         *
@param connection a live JDBC connection
         */
        public
void setSharedConnection(Connection connection);
        
        /**
         *
Retrive the shared connection.
         *
@return if no shared connection set, return null.
         */
        public
Connection getSharedConnection();
        /**
         *
Share a database associated to this connection info. If there is a shared
database already,
         *
an IllegalStateException will be thrown.
         *
If the function succeeds, notification will be sent out to all registered
listeners
         *
@param database
         */
        public
void setSharedDatabase(Database database);
        
        /**
         *
retrieve the shared database
         *
@return if no shared databsae set, return null
         */
               
        public
Database getSharedDatabase();

etc.
        My
question is: what's the your plan regarding to this ConnectionInfo object?
Will you discard it? or refactor it? and when? Thanks!

Best Regards!
