26.4.6. Running within a Java Object

Have a java application and wish to “embed” a MySQL database, make use of the com.mysql.management.MysqldResource class directly. This class may be instantiated with the default (no argument) constructor, or by passing in a java.io.File object representing the directory you wish the server to be "unzipped" into. It may also be instantiated with printstreams for "stdout" and "stderr" for logging.

Once instantiated, a java.util.Map, the object will be able to provide a java.util.Map of server options appropriate for the platform and version of MySQL which you will be using.

The MysqldResource will allow you to "start" MySQL with a java.util.Map of server options which you provide, as well as "shutdown" the database. The following example shows a simplistic way to embed MySQL in an application using plain java objects:

import com.mysql.management.MysqldResource;

 ...

    public void startMySQL() {
        File baseDir = new File(ourAppDir, "mysql");
        mysqldResource = new MysqldResource(baseDir);
        Map options = new HashMap();
        options.put("port", "3336");
        String threadName = "OurApp MySQL";
        mysqldResource.start(threadName, options);
    }
    
    public void stopMySQL() {
        if (mysqldResource != null) {
            mysqldResource.shutdown();
        }
        mysqldResource = null;
    }
    
    public java.sql.Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
        String db = "test";
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3336/" + db;
        String userName = "root";
        String password = "";
        Class.forName(com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.class.getName());
        return DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
    }
