## Class SVNClientManager

- java.lang.Object
- - org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNClientManager

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ISVNRepositoryPool

      public class SVNClientManager
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements ISVNRepositoryPool

  The SVNClientManager class is used to manage SVN*Client objects as well as for providing them to a user what makes the user's work easier and his code - pretty clear and flexible.

  When you don't have special needs to create, keep and manage separate SVN*Client objects by yourself, you should use SVNClientManager that takes care of all that work for you. These are some of advantages of using SVNClientManager:

  1. If you instantiate an SVN*Client object by yourself you need to provide a run-time configuration driver - `ISVNOptions` - as well as an authentication and network layers driver - `ISVNAuthenticationManager`. When using an SVNClientManager you have multiple choices to provide and use those drivers:

              //1.default options and authentication drivers to use
              SVNClientManager clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance();

              ...

              //2.provided options and default authentication drivers to use
              ISVNOptions myOptions;
              ...
              SVNClientManager clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance(myOptions);

              ...

              //3.provided options and authentication drivers to use
              ISVNOptions myOptions;
              ISVNAuthenticationManager myAuthManager;
              ...
              SVNClientManager clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance(myOptions, myAuthManager);

              ...

              //4.provided options driver and user's credentials to make
              //a default authentication driver use them
              ISVNOptions myOptions;
              ...
              SVNClientManager
                  clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance(myOptions, "name", "passw");

     Having instantiated an SVNClientManager in one of these ways, all the SVN*Client objects it will provide you will share those drivers, so you don't need to code much to provide the same drivers to each SVN*Client instance by yourself.
  2. With SVNClientManager you don't need to create and keep your SVN*Client objects by youself - SVNClientManager will do all the work for you, so this will certainly bring down your efforts on coding and your code will be clearer and more flexible. All you need is to create an SVNClientManager instance.
  3. Actually every SVN*Client object is instantiated only at the moment of the first call to an appropriate SVNClientManager's `get` method:

              SVNClientManager clientManager;
              ...
              //an update client will be created only at that moment when you
              //first call this method for getting your update client, but if you
              //have already called it once before, then the method will return
              //that update client object instantiated in previous... so, it's
              //quite cheap, you see..
              SVNUpdateClient updateClient = clientManager.getUpdateClient();

  4. You can provide a single event handler that will be used by all SVN*Client objects provided by SVNClientManager:

          import org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.ISVNEventHandler;

              ...

              ISVNEventHandler commonEventHandler;
              SVNClientManager clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance();
              ...
              //will be used by all SVN*Client objects
              //obtained from your client manager
              clientManager.setEventHandler(commonEventHandler);

      Specified by:
        `createRepository` in interface `ISVNRepositoryPool`
      Parameters:
        `url` - a repository location to establish a connection with (will be the root directory for the working session)

      Deprecated. use `dispose()` instead
      Description copied from interface: `ISVNRepositoryPool`
      Forces cached SVNRepository driver objects to close their socket connections.

      A default implementation DefaultSVNRepositoryPool is able to cache SVNRepository objects in a common pool shared between multiple threads. This method allows to close connections of all the cached objects.

      Specified by:
        `shutdownConnections` in interface `ISVNRepositoryPool`
      Parameters:
        `shutdownAll` - whether to shutdown connection that are considered active at the moment

    - #### setEventHandler

          public void setEventHandler(ISVNEventHandler handler)

      Sets an event handler to all SVN*Client objects created and kept by this SVNClientManager.

      The provided event handler will be set only to only those objects that have been already created (SVN*Client objects are instantiated by an SVNClientManager at the moment of the first call to a `get*Client()` method). So, the handler won't be set for those ones that have never been requested. However as they are first requested (and thus created) the handler will be set to them, too, since SVNClientManager is still keeping the handler.

      Parameters:
        `handler` - an event handler

    - #### setIgnoreExternals
