DriverManagerDataSource close method

[samuelyung]

Hello,

When I'm having the DriverManagerDataSource in bean configuration xml and managed by Spring IDE, eclipse always indicate destroy-method="close" is an error with the following message:

Destroy-method 'close' not found in bean class 'org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManager DataSource'

Here is the bean definition:

<bean id="dataSource"
	class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
	destroy-method="close">
	<property name="driverClassName"
		value="${jdbc.driverClassName}" />
	<property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}" />
	<property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}" />
	<property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
</bean>

So, is the close() destroy method really not needed?

Thanks.

It isn't. I suggest you read up on what the function of the destroy-method is, it is clearly explained in the reference guide.
