There is another way to have multiple dataSources by using @EnableAutoConfiguration and application.properties.
Basically put multiple dataSource configuration info on application.properties and generate default setup (dataSource and entityManagerFactory) automatically for first dataSource by @EnableAutoConfiguration. But for next dataSource, create dataSource, entityManagerFactory and transactionManager all manually by the info from property file.
Below is my example to setup two dataSources.
First dataSource is setup by @EnableAutoConfiguration which can be assigned only for one configuration, not multiple. And that will generate ‘transactionManager’ by DataSourceTransactionManager, that looks default transactionManager generated by the annotation. However I have seen the transaction not beginning issue on the thread from scheduled thread pool only for the default DataSourceTransactionManager and also when there are multiple transaction managers.
So I create transactionManager manually by JpaTransactionManager also for the first dataSource with assigning ‘transactionManager’ bean name and default entityManagerFactory. That JpaTransactionManager for first dataSource surely resolves the weird transaction issue on the thread from ScheduledThreadPool.
Update for Spring Boot 1.3.0.RELEASE
I found my previous configuration with @EnableAutoConfiguration for default dataSource has issue on finding entityManagerFactory with Spring Boot 1.3 version. Maybe default entityManagerFactory is not generated by @EnableAutoConfiguration, once after I introduce my own transactionManager.
So now I create entityManagerFactory by myself. So I don’t need to use @EntityScan. So it looks I’m getting more and more out of the setup by @EnableAutoConfiguration.
Second dataSource is setup without @EnableAutoConfiguration and create ‘anotherTransactionManager’ by manual way.
Since there are multiple transactionManager extends from PlatformTransactionManager, we should specify which transactionManager to use on each @Transactional annotation
Default Repository Config
@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableJpaRepositories(
entityManagerFactoryRef = "entityManagerFactory",
transactionManagerRef = "transactionManager",
basePackages = {"com.mysource.repository"})
public class RepositoryConfig {
@Autowired
JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter;
@Autowired
DataSource dataSource;
@Bean(name = "entityManager")
public EntityManager entityManager() {
return entityManagerFactory().createEntityManager();
}
@Primary
@Bean(name = "entityManagerFactory")
public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean emf = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
emf.setDataSource(dataSource);
emf.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter);
emf.setPackagesToScan("com.mysource.model");
emf.setPersistenceUnitName("default"); // <- giving 'default' as name
emf.afterPropertiesSet();
return emf.getObject();
}
@Bean(name = "transactionManager")
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
JpaTransactionManager tm = new JpaTransactionManager();
tm.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory());
return tm;
}
}
Another Repository Config
@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(
entityManagerFactoryRef = "anotherEntityManagerFactory",
transactionManagerRef = "anotherTransactionManager",
basePackages = {"com.mysource.anothersource.repository"})
public class AnotherRepositoryConfig {
@Autowired
JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter;
@Value("${another.datasource.url}")
private String databaseUrl;
@Value("${another.datasource.username}")
private String username;
@Value("${another.datasource.password}")
private String password;
@Value("${another.dataource.driverClassName}")
private String driverClassName;
@Value("${another.datasource.hibernate.dialect}")
private String dialect;
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource(databaseUrl, username, password);
dataSource.setDriverClassName(driverClassName);
return dataSource;
}
@Bean(name = "anotherEntityManager")
public EntityManager entityManager() {
return entityManagerFactory().createEntityManager();
}
@Bean(name = "anotherEntityManagerFactory")
public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", dialect);
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean emf = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
emf.setDataSource(dataSource());
emf.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter);
emf.setPackagesToScan("com.mysource.anothersource.model"); // <- package for entities
emf.setPersistenceUnitName("anotherPersistenceUnit");
emf.setJpaProperties(properties);
emf.afterPropertiesSet();
return emf.getObject();
}
@Bean(name = "anotherTransactionManager")
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
return new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory());
}
}
application.properties
# database configuration
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:~/main-source;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.continueOnError=true
spring.datasource.initialize=false
# another database configuration
another.datasource.url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=another;
another.datasource.username=username
another.datasource.password=

another.datasource.driverClassName=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Choose proper transactionManager for @Transactional annotation
Service for first datasource
@Service("mainService")
@Transactional("transactionManager")
public class DefaultDataSourceServiceImpl implements DefaultDataSourceService
{
//
}
Service for another datasource
@Service("anotherService")
@Transactional("anotherTransactionManager")
public class AnotherDataSourceServiceImpl implements AnotherDataSourceService
{
//
}
