Dynamically set hibernate.dialect properties in spring boot

I have gone through available example and tutorials on how to set hibernate.dialect property correctly but found no approach suitable for my situation.
This tutorial is working best for me, but it lacks the ability to set hibernate.dialect property dynamically as I have different types of databases to connect to:
MS SQL
Oracle
H2
MySQL
With incorrect dialect, my JPA (delete/update) queries fail.
With below implementation of #Configuration, which works perfectly, how may I be able to set hibernate.dialect dynamically at runtime for each datasource?
Thank you in advance.
#Configuration
#EnableTransactionManagement
#EnableJpaRepositories(
basePackages = "com.example.multidb",
entityManagerFactoryRef = "multiEntityManager",
transactionManagerRef = "multiTransactionManager"
)
public class PersistenceConfiguration {
private final String PACKAGE_SCAN = "com.example.multidb";
#Primary
#Bean(name = "mainDataSource")
#ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.main")
public DataSource mainDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}
#Bean(name = "clientADataSource")
#ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.clienta")
public DataSource clientADataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}
#Bean(name = "clientBDataSource")
#ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.clientb")
public DataSource clientBDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}
#Bean(name = "multiRoutingDataSource")
public DataSource multiRoutingDataSource() {
Map<Object, Object> targetDataSources = new HashMap<>();
targetDataSources.put(DBTypeEnum.MAIN, mainDataSource());
targetDataSources.put(DBTypeEnum.CLIENT_A, clientADataSource());
targetDataSources.put(DBTypeEnum.CLIENT_B, clientBDataSource());
MultiRoutingDataSource multiRoutingDataSource = new MultiRoutingDataSource();
multiRoutingDataSource.setDefaultTargetDataSource(mainDataSource());
multiRoutingDataSource.setTargetDataSources(targetDataSources);
return multiRoutingDataSource;
}
#Bean(name = "multiEntityManager")
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean multiEntityManager() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
em.setDataSource(multiRoutingDataSource());
em.setPackagesToScan(PACKAGE_SCAN);
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
em.setJpaProperties(hibernateProperties());
return em;
}
#Bean(name = "multiTransactionManager")
public PlatformTransactionManager multiTransactionManager() {
JpaTransactionManager transactionManager
= new JpaTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(
multiEntityManager().getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
#Primary
#Bean(name = "dbSessionFactory")
public LocalSessionFactoryBean dbSessionFactory() {
LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
sessionFactoryBean.setDataSource(multiRoutingDataSource());
sessionFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(PACKAGE_SCAN);
sessionFactoryBean.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());
return sessionFactoryBean;
}
private Properties hibernateProperties() {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("hibernate.show_sql", true);
properties.put("hibernate.format_sql", true);
//set hibernate.dialect for each datasource
return properties;
}
}

I've created a working example for you, I'll describe it here but if you want to jump in the code yourself it's available at this GitHub repo.
In my case, I've created two data sources, one for User and another one for Item.
Here the entities:
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.user;
import lombok.Data;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Data
#Entity
#Table(schema = "user")
public class User {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Integer id;
private String name;
#Column(unique = true, nullable = false)
private String email;
private int age;
}
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.item;
import lombok.Data;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Data
#Entity
#Table(schema = "item")
public class Item {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
private String name;
}
Note, It's important to have distinct packages for each domain.
Then I created the Repositories
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.user;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.user.User;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Integer> {
}
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.item;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.item.Item;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface ItemRepository extends JpaRepository<Item, Integer> {
}
Nothing special about the repos. Let's move to the final piece, the configuration.
I created a #ConfigurationProperties class to externalize my configuration, bear with me, I know the naming is not the best :)
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.config;
import lombok.Data;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
#Data
#Component
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "multi-datasource")
public class MultipleDataSourceProperties {
private UserDataSourceProperties user = new UserDataSourceProperties();
private ItemDataSourceProperties item = new ItemDataSourceProperties();
#Data
public static class UserDataSourceProperties {
private HibernateProperties hibernate = new HibernateProperties();
}
#Data
public static class ItemDataSourceProperties {
private HibernateProperties hibernate = new HibernateProperties();
}
#Data
public static class HibernateProperties {
private Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<>();
}
}
We'll see the properties configuration file soon.
Now let's create the DataSource for the User:
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.config;
import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.boot.jdbc.DataSourceBuilder;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Primary;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories(
basePackages = "com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.user",
entityManagerFactoryRef = "userEntityManager",
transactionManagerRef = "userTransactionManager"
)
public class UserDataSourceConfig {
private final MultipleDataSourceProperties properties;
public UserDataSourceConfig(MultipleDataSourceProperties properties) {
this.properties = properties;
}
#Bean
#Primary
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean userEntityManager() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
em.setDataSource(userDataSource());
em.setPackagesToScan("com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.user");
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
em.setJpaPropertyMap(properties.getUser().getHibernate().getProperties());
return em;
}
#Primary
#Bean
#ConfigurationProperties("multi-datasource.user")
public DataSource userDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}
#Primary
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager userTransactionManager() {
JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(userEntityManager().getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
}
The important part for you at this class is the line em.setJpaPropertyMap(properties.getUser().getHibernate().getProperties()); it's getting the User's Hibernate configuration properties from our #ConfigurationProperties class defined above.
Now let's do the same for the Item:
package com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.config;
import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.boot.jdbc.DataSourceBuilder;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Primary;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories(
basePackages = "com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.item",
entityManagerFactoryRef = "itemEntityManager",
transactionManagerRef = "itemTransactionManager"
)
public class ItemDataSourceConfig {
private final MultipleDataSourceProperties properties;
public ItemDataSourceConfig(MultipleDataSourceProperties properties) {
this.properties = properties;
}
#Bean
#Primary
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean itemEntityManager() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
em.setDataSource(itemDataSource());
em.setPackagesToScan("com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.item");
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
em.setJpaPropertyMap(properties.getItem().getHibernate().getProperties());
return em;
}
#Primary
#Bean
#ConfigurationProperties("multi-datasource.item")
public DataSource itemDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build();
}
#Primary
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager itemTransactionManager() {
JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(itemEntityManager().getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
}
The application.properties
multi-datasource.item.jdbcUrl=jdbc:h2:mem:spring_jpa_item;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;INIT=CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS ITEM
multi-datasource.item.username=sa
multi-datasource.item.password=sa
multi-datasource.item.hibernate.properties.hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create-drop
multi-datasource.item.hibernate.properties.hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=false

multi-datasource.user.hibernate.properties.hibernate.cache.use_query_cache=false
multi-datasource.user.hibernate.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect
Some unit tests
package com.marcosbarbero.so;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.item.Item;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.entity.user.User;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.item.ItemRepository;
import com.marcosbarbero.so.multiple.ds.repository.user.UserRepository;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertNotNull;
#SpringBootTest
public class JPAMultipleDBTest {
#Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
#Autowired
private ItemRepository itemRepository;
#Test
public void whenCreatingUser_thenCreated() {
User user = new User();
user.setName("John");
user.setEmail("john#test.com");
user.setAge(20);
user = userRepository.save(user);
assertNotNull(userRepository.findById(user.getId()));
}
#Test
public void whenCreatingProduct_thenCreated() {
Item item = new Item();
item.setName("Book");
item.setId(2);
item = itemRepository.save(item);
assertNotNull(itemRepository.findById(item.getId()));
}
}
I think it also worth mentioning, to make it all work I disabled the DataSourceAutoConfiguration, it's simple as that:
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class)
And again, it all is available at this GitHub repo.

Hibernate Not creating tables Automatically

I have configured Spring and Hibernate for Mysql but hibernate is not creating tables automatically.i have configured mysql in eclipse datasource connection and tried with tomcat 8 and tomcat 9
I have Configured Database properties to configure hibernate

The problem is AppConfig class is in package com.bushansirgur.config which is not under the#ComponentScan, and also i do see multiple #ComponentScan annotations on different class which is not recommended. You can simply use it once on Main class with base package
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.bushansirgur" })
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
}

You are using Spring Boot then use Spring Boot. Currently you are trying really hard to NOT use Spring Boot.
First instead of you manually configuration a DataSource let Spring Boot do it for you. Remove the #Bean for DataSource and add spring.datasource properties in your application.properties (or simply rename the existing ones).
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testc
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=root
Next instead of using plain Hibernate I strongly suggest to start using JPA instead. So remove the definition for the LocalSessionFactoryBean and HibernateTransactionManager. Simply add the following properties to your configuration.
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.format_sql=true
Now basically have an empty configuration class simply remove it. Spring Boot will already component-scan for you, create JPA, enable transactions.
In your controller/dao hybrid (which is a bad thing imho!) instead of the HibernateTemplate use the EntityManager instead. However I would suggest separating the dao and controller functionality.
#Repository
#Transactional
public class EmployeeDaoJpa implements EmployeeDao {
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
// Method implementations using the EntityManager
}
Now in your controller use that dao.
#RestController
public class EmployeeController {
private final EmployeeDao dao;
#Autowired
public EmployeeController(EmployeeDao dao) {
this.dao=dao;
}
// for insertion into database
#RequestMapping(value="/",method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String insertValue(Employee e) {
e.setId(1);
e.setName("james");
e.setSalary(7000);
dao.insertvalue(e);
return "value saved to database";
}
//for updation
#RequestMapping(value="/",method=RequestMethod.PUT)
public String updateValue(Employee e) {
dao.updateValue(e);
return "value updated to database";
}
//for deletion
#RequestMapping(value="/",method=RequestMethod.DELETE)
public String deleteValue(Employee e) {
ht.delete(e);
return "value deleted from database";
}
// get stored values from d.b
#RequestMapping(value="/",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String getValue() {
return ""+dao.findAll();
}
// to get particular value from d.b
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#RequestMapping(value="/{id}",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String getSpecificValue(#PathVariable int id) {
return ""+dao.findOne(id);
}
}
Another tip don't use com as your package first it is to lowlevel and when Spring or your container starts scanning the com package it will scan everything in the com package. Like everything in jar files starting with com. So invent a better package naming.
In the end you now only have your controller, repository class and interface and finally your application class. No more configuration class that is all nicely in your application.properties.

This is the Repository I wrote
package my.pack.repository;
import my.pack.entity.User;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
#Repository
public interface IUserRepository extends CrudRepository<User, String>{
}
Finally this is the test I run
package my.pack.tests;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
import futureservice.UserService;
import my.pack.DALConfig;
import my.pack.entity.User;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
#ContextConfiguration(classes = { DALConfig.class})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class DALTest {
#Autowired
UserService userService;
#Test
public void testGetUser() {
User user = null;
user = userService.findOne("mrossi");
assertTrue(null != user);
}
}
When I run the test I get the following exception stack and the test fails.
...
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'entityManager' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.support.JpaRepositoryFactoryBean.setMappingContext(Lorg/springframework/data/mapping/context/MappingContext;)V

It seems like the JpaRepositoryFactoryBean misses the setMappingContext method but as you can see from the documentation the method is supported. I'm using the 1.5.1.RELEASE version of spring-data-jpa artifact.
What can be the issue?
Thank you

Spring, Hibernate, JUnit Annotated Entity

I am trying to setup a simple test environment for my JUnit, Spring, Hibernate environment. I am also trying to config the whole thing in Java and keep away from XML files for now.
So far, I was able to #Autowire #Beans, but I can't make #Entity available. I keep getting an exception saying my entity wasn't registered.
Here is a sample of what I am doing:
JpaTestConfig.java
package com.springtest.test.configuration;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;
#Configuration
#EnableTransactionManagement
public class JpaTestConfig {
#Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean(){
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean lcemfb
= new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
lcemfb.setDataSource(this.dataSource());
lcemfb.setPackagesToScan(new String[] {"com.jverstry"});
lcemfb.setPersistenceUnitName("MyTestPU");
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter va = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
lcemfb.setJpaVendorAdapter(va);
Properties ps = new Properties();
ps.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect");
ps.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");
lcemfb.setJpaProperties(ps);
lcemfb.afterPropertiesSet();
return lcemfb;
}
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource(){
DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
ds.setDriverClassName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
ds.setUrl("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb");
ds.setUsername("sa");
ds.setPassword("");
return ds;
}
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(){
JpaTransactionManager tm = new JpaTransactionManager();
tm.setEntityManagerFactory(this.entityManagerFactoryBean().getObject());
return tm;
}
#Bean
public PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor exceptionTranslation(){
return new PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor();
}
}
ServiceConfig.java
package com.springtest.test.configuration;
import com.springtest.services.UserService;
import com.springtest.services.UserServiceImpl;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {
"com.springtest.service"
})
public class ServiceConfig {
#Bean
public UserService getuserService() {
return new UserServiceImpl();
}
}
And my test file. UserServiceTest.java
package com.springtest.test.services;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import com.springtest.pojo.User;
import com.springtest.services.UserService;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import com.springtest.test.configuration.*;
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes={ JpaTestConfig.class,
ServiceConfig.class})
public class UserServiceTest {
#Autowired
private UserService userService;
#Test
public void testCreateAndRetrieve() {
String json = "{\"firstName\": \"John\", \"lastName\": \"Doe\"}";
User user = userService.create(json);
assertEquals("John", user.getFirstName());
}
}
My Service Bean:
package com.springtest.services;
import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType;
import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;
import com.springtest.pojo.User;
#Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {
#PersistenceContext(type=PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
EntityManager em;
#Transactional
public User create(String json) {
User user = new GsonBuilder().create().fromJson(json, User.class);
em.persist(user);
return user;
}
}
And my Entity class:
package com.springtest.pojo;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
#Entity
public class User {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Integer id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
In a summary, how do I register the entity on my Java class #Configuration file?
Thanks,

The problem was with the package scanner on my JpaTestConfiguration file. More specifically, this line:
lcemfb.setPackagesToScan(new String[] {"com.springtest.pojo"});
is the one that will browse the packages for #Entity annotated classes. Thank you #Rembo for the tip.
