We have a Spring+Hibernate application (using Spring 2, from AppFuse 1.9) which is in a desperate need to be updated to Spring 3. We're slowly working on that.
In the meantime, I'd like to take some of the load off our primary database server, and set up the read-only controllers (which just display information) to read from our database slaves.
More specifically, we have multiple databases servers (master+slaves), and I'd like to be able to set up multiple database connections, and then specify that controller1 uses db1, and controller's 2 and 3 use db2.
How can we achieve this?
You should be able to do that with AbstractRoutingDataSource class in Spring. This blog should help you. You can wire each data source for each of your controllers.

I have a use case where I need to create exact same postgresql database in two different regions. Everything is same in these two databases i.e same schema and same tables and same data.
I have a use to achieve distributed transaction. So if a request land in region-a and write to region-a database to let's say Person table, then exact same record must be either written in Person table in both these database or if there is any error, write attempt should be rolled back.
I am trying to figure out if I can attach two different datasources with same Person Entity and CRUD repository in spring so the respoistory.save() method can write to Person table in both the databases.
So far, I have come across AbstractRoutingDataSource but that is for achieving multi tenancy in the databases. Other solutions are found are slightly different where use case is to write different records in different database (mostly sharding based on various data points).
Does spring provide any out of the box solution so I can achieve transactional write to same table in two different databases.

Depends on your definition of "out of the box" - it doesn't itself implement distributed transactions, but does have support for using libraries that do. It is however relatively complicated to get everything working correctly, and requires additional components to be carefully configured in your runtime environment.
Spring Boot 2.x documentation on distributed transactions is here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.7.x/reference/htmlsingle/#io.jta
The Spring Boot 3.x documentation is here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/io.html#io.jta but it's also worth noting that for 3.x, the Spring Boot team have changed direction and decided that integrated support should be provided by the relevant JTA provider (cf. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/28589 ), and so there's projects like https://github.com/snowdrop/narayana-spring-boot
In My Application, Using the below technologies
Spring boot 2.7.x
Cassandra
spring batch 5. x
java 11
As part of this, I need to extract data from the Cassandra database and need to write out the file
so here I need to use queries to fetch data so
just want to know what is the best way to maintain all queries at one place so any query changes come in the future, I shouldn't build the app rather just need to modify the query.
Using a repository class is necessary. If you are using JPA i recommend using a repository for each Entity class. With JDBC it is possible to create a single repository which contains all the queries. To access the query methodes i would use a service class. In this way your code is structured well and maintainable for future changes.
I am new to Springboot and trying to build a small rest-service. We have a DB deployed on different environments (e.g. DEV, TEST). The rest-service will make a call to the appropriate database based on the received query param (e.g. ?env=TEST). The schemas of the deployed database are the same, the difference is only in connection string. I have some questions related to this task.
I read a few articles how to work with multiple databases using Spring JPA (for example this one: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-jpa-multiple-databases). It did work, but in the given example they get different entites from different databases using different queries, in my case the entity and the query is the same, but I still have to duplicate repositories, transactionManagers, entityManagers etc because of different datasources. And this is just two environments and I have more of them.
I have another thought that I might need to recreate the repository each time I process a request (to make the repository non-singleton). I am not sure if it is a good practice.
Maybe it worth to use JDBCTemplate instead of Spring JPA in this case?
Could you please suggest something how to approach such a task?
I created user in oracle database and I am trying to create session but I find many ways in spring boot so what is the easy way if I want to create classe connections using the Username and Password ?
You can jdbc template, spring data JDBC or spring data JPA, well depending on your use case.
If your data model is quite complex, you should avoid using the JDBC template as you will need to write prepared statements which can be cumbersome. JPA will allow you to use object-oriented programming principles and also will help you map the entities to your database columns.
For example, if you are going to use spring data JPA, you need to set the application properties as follows:
spring.datasource.type=oracle.oracleucp.jdbc.UCPDataSource
spring.datasource.oracleucp.connection-factory-class-name=oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
spring.datasource.oracleucp.sql-for-validate-connection=select * from dual
spring.datasource.oracleucp.connection-pool-name=UcpPoolBooks
spring.datasource.oracleucp.initial-pool-size=5
spring.datasource.oracleucp.min-pool-size=5
spring.datasource.oracleucp.max-pool-size=10
This would behind the scene create an Oracle Datasource. In this example, we are using Oracle Universal Connection Pooling. You can also use HikariCP which is quite popular.

If you want to use UCP with above properties then you must have SpringBoot version higher than 2.4.0.

I am using spring + hibernate transaction manager in the my project. Initially I am connecting to main database and retrieving several projects in a company, say if there are 200 projects each project will have database associated with it, I want to connect to database associated with the project that is selected by user at run time.
Is there any ideal way to connect to database at run time?
There's a Spring abstraction AbstractRoutingDataSource that has been around for a long time, and that fits your bill
The general idea is that a routing DataSource acts as an intermediary
- while the ‘real’ DataSource can be determined dynamically at runtime based upon a lookup key.
There is a good post and a newer tutorial, where you can learn more details.
