Binding specific sqlsessionfactory with #Mapper annotation with spring boot - spring-boot

TL;DR
When using MyBatis with Spring boot, is following step possible?
Create Datasource, SqlSessionFactory, SqlTransactionManager beans without mapperscan
Deploy 1 as library
import 2, create Mapper with beans declared in 1 with #Mapper annotation
Question
(First of all, apologize my poor english)
I'm creating mybatis datasource autoconfiguration library for my spring boot project.
Datasource will used at some applications, and they would have different mapper.
If mappers are already defined, creating DataSource, SqlSessionFactory and SqlTransactionManager beans with #MapperScan can bind Mapper and those beans.
But when case like this; DataSource, SqlSessionFactory, SqlTransactionManager beans declared,
and Mappers will created later, is possible binding specific beans with #Mapper annotation?
Those beans are default currently, so project would works.
But if another datasource added without mapper scan,
application initialization failed due to duplicate bean definition.
For some reasons, i prefer these done with mapper annotation(not mapper xml)
If any another advice for this design, looking forward to answer.
Thank you.

Why creation of repository beans need a datasource bean during start-up

I was working on a Spring-data-jpa project with spring boot, I see that the creation of repository beans required a datasoure bean to be present, Why is it so?
And can a repository bean be created without datasource bean.
The purpose of a repository is to load and save data into a persistent store.
Spring Data JPA does that using JPA so it needs an EntityManager which in turn need a DataSource.
Strictly speaking the DataSource is only used once the database is actually accessed.
While you definitely nee a DataSource bean you may delay the construction of a normal DataSource by providing a wrapper which instantiates the the actual DataSource at a later point in time.
DelegatingDataSource might be of help, either as a basis class or, since you are going to change the DataSource as a template for an implementation.

Spring framework #Configurable vs #Configuration

I seems have problem understanding these 2 annotation. I have try to read the javadocs but still cannot figure out. Can anyone help to explain with simple code about these 2 ?
Thank so much in advance.
You use #Configuration as a replacement to the XML based configuration for configuring spring beans. So instead of an xml file we write a class and annotate that with #Configuration and define the beans in it using #Bean annotation on the methods.
And finally you use AnnotationConfigApplicationContext to register this #Configuration class and thus spring manages the beans defined. Small example you can find at Spring Configuration Documentaion.
Quoting from the above link
It is just another way of configuration Indicates that a class declares
one or more #Bean methods and may be processed by the Spring container
to generate bean definitions and service requests for those beans at
runtime.
And #Configurable is an annotation that injects dependencies into objects that are not managed by Spring using aspectj libraries. i.e., you still use old way of instantiation with plain new operator to create objects but the spring will take care of injecting the dependencies into that object automatically for you.
#Configuration is the heart of the Java-based configuration mechanism and provides an alternative to XML-based configuration.
#Configuration classes are just like regular #Components classes, except that methods annotated with #Bean are used to factory beans.

Purpose of using #Configuration annotation

I have created a spring mvc based application but I didn't use this #Configuration annotation. What is the purpose of using #Configuration annotation? By using this, what are we communicating to springMVC container?
Assuming your application is using xml configuration rather than AnnotationConfig so it is not loaded to ApplicationContext at all.
#Configuration is used when ApplicationContext has been initialized and bean registration.
#Configuration annotation is a core Spring annotation, and not Spring MVC. It is a core entry point to configuring Spring-based application using Java config instead of XML config.
Please, use Spring Documentation more often because it is a place where you will find answers to most of your questions. Like this one:
Indicates that a class declares one or more Bean #Bean methods and may
be processed by the Spring container to generate bean definitions and
service requests for those beans at runtime

Multiple DataSource beans with Spring Boot Actuator's EndpointAutoConfiguration possible?

I have a spring-boot application that uses several DataSource beans and would still like to use the EndpointAutoConfiguration from spring-boot-actuator that is loaded as part of using the #EnableAutoConfiguration annotation. This doesn't seem possible as there is a DataSource bean injected into EndpointAutoConfiguration to setup the HealthEndpoint bean. Due to the multiple instances of DataSource that exist in my application, a NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException is thrown upon application startup unless I exclude EndpointAutoConfiguration but then I must setup all the other endpoints manually (/env, /metrics, etc).
Is there a better way to do this?
You could mark one of your DataSources as #Primary or you could provide your own HealthIndicator (it's not the endpoint that wants your DataSource but that bean, which is designed to be overridden by just adding one of your own).

Using JdbcTemplate with a "Non-Spring-Bean" JNDI DataSource

Page 342 of spring-framework-reference.pdf (bundled with spring-framework-3.1.0.M2) states, "The JdbcTemplate can be used within a DAO implementation through direct instantiation with a DataSource reference." However, it goes on to say, "The DataSource should always be configured as a bean in the Spring IoC container."
Does anyone know why the DataSource shouldn't be provided to a JdbcTemplate from a plain-old JNDI lookup outside of the Spring container, e.g. How to programatically use Spring's JdbcTemplate?
"The DataSource should always be configured as a bean in the Spring IoC container."
It appears that this note is intended to clarify the preceding statement:
"The JdbcTemplate can be used within a DAO implementation through direct instantiation with a DataSource reference, or be configured in a Spring IoC container and given to DAOs as a bean reference."
I believe the information these statements are trying to convey is that when you're configuring a DAO in Spring, you can either:
inject the DataSource directly into the DAO and create the JdbcTemplate in code yourself, or
you can make the JdbcTemplate a Spring bean as well, inject the DataSource into the JdbcTemplate, and inject the JdbcTemplate into the DAO.
The note, then, means that if Spring is managing the DAO and its dependencies, the DataSource must be a Spring bean in either case, as it needs to be injected either into the DataSource for use in constructing the JdbcTemplate (case 1) or into the JdbcTemplate itself (case 2).
I wouldn't take it to mean that a DataSource used in a JdbcTemplate must always be managed by Spring and only Spring. The note does give that impression. It's probably worth filing a bug against.
