HikariCP as JNDI Datasource about hikaricp

[brettwooldridge]

Checkout the dev branch. It has support for username, password, jdbcUrl, and driverClassName now.

git clone https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP.git
cd HikariCP
git checkout dev
mvn install

Then use HikariCP-1.3.4-SNAPSHOT.jar or 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT as a pom dependency. Let me know if it works.

Configuration of JNDI is outside of the control of a pooling provider. Here is a link to the Tomcat JNDI configuration documentation.

Specifically, the Context Configuration section is what you need. And this is the full documentation for Tomcat JNDI, specifically the Using Resources section may interest you.

The problem is that com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource is not usable with the org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory provided by Tomcat.

We had to write our own wrapper for the HikariDataSource which looks like this:

public class TomcatHikariDataSource extends HikariDataSource
{
    public void setUser(String user)
    {
        addDataSourceProperty("user", user);
    }

    public void setPassword(String password)
    {
        addDataSourceProperty("password", password);
    }

    public void setUrl(String url)
    {
        addDataSourceProperty("url", url);
    }
}
