C3P0 connection pooling with hibernate doesnt work with cloudfoundry - spring

Question

I am trying to push a simple hibernate+MYSQL app developed using STS. Hibernate uses c3P0 for connection pooling. When I push the app and start accessing it I see exceptions related to c3P0.I tested it locally and it works well.
Caused by: com.mchange.v2.resourcepool.CannotAcquireResourceException: A
ResourcePool could not acquire a resource from its primary factory or
source.
at com.mchange.v2.resourcepool.BasicResourcePool.awaitAvailable(BasicResourcePool.java:1319)

This is the cloud profile I am using.
<beans profile="cloud">

Can anyone help?

I was able to make it work with though I didn't try with profile stuff
Following is the xml that should be used if you want to use c3P0.
<cloud:data-source id="c3p0DataSource" service-name="mysql"/>
<cloud:properties id="cloudProperties"/>
<context:property-placeholder properties-ref="cloudProperties"/>
<bean id="c3p0DataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClass" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:mysql://${cloud.services.mysql.connection.hostname}:${cloud.services.mysql.connection.port}/${cloud.services.mysql.connection.name}" />
<property name="user" value="${cloud.services.mysql.connection.username}" />
<property name="password" value="${cloud.services.mysql.connection.password}" />
<property name="minPoolSize" value="2" />
<property name="maxPoolSize" value="3" />
<property name="maxIdleTime" value="319" />
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="c3p0DataSource" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.iml.policytype.model" />
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager"
p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory" />
I didnt use variable {cloud.services.mysql.connection.jdbcUrl} which was causing the DB connection to fail. If you observe the env.log file the value for this entry also contains username and password instead of just hostname, portname and db name.
Also the property cloud.services.mysql.connection.hostname I have seen mentioned as (cloud.services.mysql.connection.name) that was also causing the issue. I guess that's not a big deal as it depends on which data source you use. In some cases it could be name and in some cases it could be hostname.
Also the highlighted code was missing entries from my xml. I would be trying now with profile feature and would update the thread based on what I see.
