Not able to set spring.datasource.type

Question

I\'m trying to setup c3p0 on my spring boot server. This is my config right now

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://url/db
spring.datasource.username=username         


        

Answer 1

spring.datasource.type has been introduced in the 1.3 line so you need Spring Boot 1.3.0.M5 to use that property (content assistance in your IDE should have give you the proper hint).

On 1.2.x you need to create the DataSource bean yourself to force the type, something like

@Bean
@ConfigurationProperties("spring.datasource")
public DataSource dataSource() {
   return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(ComboPooledDataSource.class)
            .build();
}
