Customization of Database Connection Service in the BI Server

Customization of Database Connection Service in the BI Server

You can override the default behavior of Pentaho's Database Connection Pool by implementing your own IDatasourceService class and overriding the pentaho-solutions/system/pentahoObjects.spring.xml file with your new implementation.  Multiple implementations of this class are available in open source with in the project "bi-platform-engine-services".

A useful utility class for defining per-user connections is PentahoSessionHolder, this class allows easy access to the IPentahoSession object that contains current user information.
