Error connecting to database Spring boot - spring

Question

Helo I have been trying to connect to a database with Spring Boot for a while and I keep getting the error:
java.sql.SQLException: The url cannot be null
I am not sure what is it that I am doing wrong. The reason I am trying to get the configuration like this is because I want to use the encoded password for the database.
This is what my files look like:
DataConfig.java
#Configuration
public class DataConfig {
#Autowired
private Environment env;
#Configuration
#Profile(value = "dev")
public class DevPlaceHolderConfig {
#Bean
DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.username(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.username"))
.password(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.password"))
.url(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.url"))
.driverClassName(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.driver-class-name"))
.build();
}
}
#Configuration
#Profile(value = "prod")
public class ProdPlaceHolderConfig {
#Bean
DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.username(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.username"))
.password(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.password"))
.url(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.url"))
.driverClassName(env.getProperty("spring.datasource.driver-class-name"))
.build();
}
}
}
EncryptorConfig.java
#Configuration
public class EncryptorConfig {
#Bean
public EnvironmentStringPBEConfig environmentVariablesConfiguration() {
EnvironmentStringPBEConfig config = new EnvironmentStringPBEConfig();
config.setAlgorithm("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
config.setPasswordEnvName("APP_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD");
return config;
}
#Bean
public PooledPBEStringEncryptor stringEncryptor() {
PooledPBEStringEncryptor encryptor = new PooledPBEStringEncryptor();
encryptor.setConfig(environmentVariablesConfiguration());
return encryptor;
}
}

Answer 1

Ok so it took me a while but this is how I solved my issues; which turned out to be a few.
Make sure you include a property placeholder in the configuration so then the actual property value can bind to.
Make sure to read about it here enter link description here
So now my application.yml file looks like bellow, and APP_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD is an environment variable holding the encryption password.
spring:
profiles:
active: prod
output:
ansi:
enabled: detect
---
spring:
profiles: dev
application:
name: App-Dev
datasource:
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database?useSSL=false
username: root
password: root
driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jpa:
show-sql: true
hibernate:
ddl-auto: update
properties:
hibernate:
dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
server:
port: 8080

spring:

driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jpa:

hibernate:
ddl-auto: none
properties:
hibernate:

jasypt:
encryptor:
algorithm: PBEWithMD5AndDES
password: ${APP_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD}
server:
port: 3000
Only one data source configuration bean needed. I have it set to change active profiles so the correct configuration is picked.
Also create private variables and bind them with a #Value() annotation. Also add the #EnableEncryptableProperties to the class.
DataConfig.java
#Configuration
#EnableEncryptableProperties
public class DataConfig {
#Value("${spring.datasource.username}")
private String userName;
#Value("${spring.datasource.password}")
private String password;
#Value("${spring.datasource.url}")
private String url;
#Value("${spring.datasource.driver-class-name}")
private String driverClassName;
#Bean
DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.username(userName)
.password(password)
.url(url)
.driverClassName(driverClassName)
.build();
}
}
And that's it it solved all my problems.
