How to set up datasource with Spring for HikariCP?

Question

Hi I\'m trying to use HikariCP with Spring for connection pool. I\'m using jdbcTempLate and JdbcdaoSupport.
This is my spring configuration file for datasource:

Answer 1

May this also can help using configuration file like java class way.

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class DataSourceConfig {
    @Autowired
    JdbcConfigProperties jdbc;


    @Bean(name = "hikariDataSource")
    public DataSource hikariDataSource() {
        HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
        HikariDataSource dataSource;

        config.setJdbcUrl(jdbc.getUrl());
        config.setUsername(jdbc.getUser());
        config.setPassword(jdbc.getPassword());
        // optional: Property setting depends on database vendor
        config.addDataSourceProperty("cachePrepStmts", "true");
        config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSize", "250");
        config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit", "2048");
        dataSource = new HikariDataSource(config);

        return dataSource;
    }
}

How to use it:

@Component
public class Car implements Runnable {
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AptSommering.class);


    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("hikariDataSource")
    private DataSource hikariDataSource;


}

you need to write this structure on your bean configuration (this is your datasource):

<bean id="hikariConfig" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig">
    <property name="poolName" value="springHikariCP" />
    <property name="connectionTestQuery" value="SELECT 1" />
    <property name="dataSourceClassName" value="${hibernate.dataSourceClassName}" />
    <property name="maximumPoolSize" value="${hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize}" />
    <property name="idleTimeout" value="${hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout}" />

    <property name="dataSourceProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="url">${dataSource.url}</prop>
            <prop key="user">${dataSource.username}</prop>
            <prop key="password">${dataSource.password}</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<!-- HikariCP configuration -->
<bean id="dataSource" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <constructor-arg ref="hikariConfig" />
</bean>

This is my example and it is working. You just need to put your properties on hibernate.properties and set it before:

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>classpath:hibernate.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

Obs.: the versions are
log4j: 1.2.16
springframework: 3.1.4.RELEASE
HikariCP: 1.4.0

Properties file (hibernate.properties):

hibernate.dataSourceClassName=oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize=10
hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout=30000
dataSource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
dataSource.username=admin
dataSource.password=

Using XML configuration, your data source should look something like this:

    <bean id="hikariConfig" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig">  
      <property name="dataSourceProperties" >
        <props>
            <prop key="dataSource.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE</prop>
            <prop key="dataSource.user">username</prop>
            <prop key="dataSource.password">password</prop>
        </props>
      </property>  
      <property name="dataSourceClassName"   
                value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />  
    </bean>  

    <bean id="dataSource" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource">  
          <constructor-arg ref="hikariConfig" />  
    </bean>  

Or you could skip the HikariConfig bean altogether and use an approach like the one mentioned here
