Spring jdbc configuration - spring

Question

I have been trying to implement a web service using spring. This webservice will provide data access to a mySQL database using JDBC. I am trying to not use any xml configuration files, so I have come across a problem trying to connect to the database.
I am following the tutorial: http://spring.io/guides/tutorials/rest/ but I changed a few things along the way.
Now that I am trying to implement the connection with the database I get an error when trying to execute the tomcat instance, and I guess the problem is within the configurations.
Here follows some of my code:
Datasource configuration:
#Configuration
#Profile("mySQL")
#PropertySource("classpath:/services.properties")
public class MySQLDataSourceConfiguration implements DataSourceConfiguration{
#Inject
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() throws Exception {
BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
dataSource.setPassword(environment.getProperty("dataSource.password"));
dataSource.setUrl(environment.getProperty("dataSource.url"));
dataSource.setUsername(environment.getProperty("dataSource.user"));
dataSource.setDriverClassName(environment.getPropertyAsClass("dataSource.driverClass", Driver.class).getName());
return dataSource;
}
}
the file service.properties is where I keep my configurations for the database, so when I desire to change the database I will just have to change 4 fields.
The JDBCConfiguration class for the setup of the JDBCtemplate
#Configuration
#EnableTransactionManagement
#PropertySource("classpath:/services.properties")
#Import( { MySQLDataSourceConfiguration.class })
public class JdbcConfiguration {
#Autowired
private DataSourceConfiguration dataSourceConfiguration;
#Inject
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public JdbcTemplate setupJdbcTemplate() throws Exception {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSourceConfiguration.dataSource());
}
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(DataSource dataSource) throws Exception {
return new DataSourceTransactionManager(dataSource);
}
}
Then there is the Repository, that recieves the template.
#Transactional
#Repository
#Qualifier("jdbcRepository")
public class JdbcIndividualRepository implements IndividualsRepository{
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(JdbcIndividualRepository.class);
#Autowired
private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
#Autowired
public JdbcIndividualRepository(DataSource jdbcDataSource) {
LOG.info("JDBCRepo arg constructor");
this.jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate(jdbcDataSource);
}
#Override
public Individual save(Individual save) {
String sql = "INSERT INTO Individual(idIndividual, Name) VALUES(?,?)";
this.jdbcTemplate.update(sql, save.getId(), save.getName());
return save;
}
#Override
public void delete(String key) {
String sql = "DELETE FROM Individual WHERE idIndividual=?";
jdbcTemplate.update(sql, key);
}
#Override
public Individual findById(String key) {
String sql = "SELECT i.* FROM Individual i WHERE i.idIndividual=?";
return this.jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(sql, new IndividualRowMapper(), key);
}
#Override
public List<Individual> findAll() {
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Individual";
return new LinkedList<Individual>(this.jdbcTemplate.query(sql, new IndividualRowMapper()));
}
}
Then I register the jdbc configuration in the initializer class when creating the root context of the application as follows:
private WebApplicationContext createRootContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
rootContext.register(CoreConfig.class, SecurityConfig.class, JdbcConfiguration.class);
rootContext.refresh();
servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));
servletContext.setInitParameter("defaultHtmlEscape", "true");
return rootContext;
}
However, the Tomcat server wont run because it can't autowire the class MySQLDataSourceConfiguration.
Anyone knows what the problem might be? I can give more details on the code, but the question is already really large.
Appreciate any kind of help!
Cheers
EDIT
Solved changing the JdbcConfiguration class to:
#Configuration
#EnableTransactionManagement
#PropertySource("classpath:/services.properties")
#Import( { MySQLDataSourceConfiguration.class })
public class JdbcConfiguration {
#Autowired
private DataSource dataSource;
#Inject
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public JdbcTemplate setupJdbcTemplate() throws Exception {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(DataSource dataSource) throws Exception {
return new DataSourceTransactionManager(dataSource);
}
#Bean
public IndividualsRepository createRepo(){
return new JdbcIndividualRepository(dataSource);
}
}

Answer 1

Remove
#Autowired
private DataSourceConfiguration dataSourceConfiguration;
Because that's not how it's supposed to be used. Instead add to the same class the following:
#Autowired DataSource dataSource;
and use it like this: new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
Also, try adding #ComponentScan to JdbcConfiguration class. From what I see in your code the class JdbcIndividualRepository is not picked up by anything.

Answer 2

In your class JdbcConfiguration, you are trying to autowire DataSourceConfiguration. I'm not really sure if that's possible - typically you should try to autwire the DataSource, not the DataSourceConfiguration.
#Import( { MySQLDataSourceConfiguration.class })
public class JdbcConfiguration {
#Autowired
private DataSource dataSource;
#Bean
public JdbcTemplate setupJdbcTemplate() throws Exception {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
Also if you have several DataSources and you're using Spring profiles to separate them, it's easier to provide all the DataSource beans in one file and annotate each bean with a different profile:
#Configuration
public class DataSourceConfig {
#Bean
#Profile("Test")
public DataSource devDataSource() {
.... configure data source
}
#Bean
#Profile("Prod")
public DataSource prodDataSource() {
... configure data source
}
