Using Spring Cloud Connectors together with HikariCP - spring

Question

I would like to use HikariCP from the Spring Cloud Connectors. I am not sure how to proceed...
I have updated my Spring Cloud Connectors to 1.2.0.RC1.
Here is my current config:
#Configuration
#Profile({ Profiles.CLOUD })
public class CloudDataSourceConfiguration extends AbstractCloudConfig {
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
int dbcpMaxActive = 10;
int dbcpMaxWait = 200;
PoolConfig poolConfig = new PoolConfig(dbcpMaxActive, dbcpMaxWait);
ConnectionConfig connectionConfig = new ConnectionConfig("sessionVariables=sql_mode='ANSI';characterEncoding=UTF-8");
DataSourceConfig serviceConfig = new DataSourceConfig(poolConfig, connectionConfig);
return connectionFactory().dataSource("CLEARDB_DATABASE", serviceConfig);
}
}
Can someone please advise?
edit: When I start the app with the cloud profile, I can read
2015-05-23 22:46:56,029 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO org.springframework.cloud.service.relational.PooledDataSourceCreator - Found Tomcat high-performance connection pool on the classpath. Using it for DataSource connection pooling.
from the log output.
edit 2: HikariCP is in the classpath and it seems that tomcat high performance connection pool is also in the classpath.

Answer 1

As stated in my second edit, both tomcat jdbc & HikariCP were on the classpath. By removing tomcat jdbc as follows (in my gradle script):
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa"){
exclude group: 'org.apache.tomcat', module: 'tomcat-jdbc'
}
only HikariCP remained on the classpath and it was picked up properly as shown by the log output below:
INFO org.springframework.cloud.service.relational.PooledDataSourceCreator - Found HikariCP on the classpath. Using it for DataSource connection pooling.
