Connecting MySql Database in Spring JDBC

[Last Updated: Sep 15, 2017]

This example shows how to connect MySql database server in Spring JDBC application. If you do not have MySql database server installed, follow this tutorial to download, install and create a database schema to connect with.

Example

Creating Spring Jdbc application

@Repository
public class PersonDao implements Dao<Person> {
  @Autowired
  private DataSource dataSource;
  private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
  private SimpleJdbcInsert jdbcInsert;

  @PostConstruct
  private void postConstruct() {
      jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
      jdbcInsert = new SimpleJdbcInsert(dataSource)
              .withTableName("PERSON").usingGeneratedKeyColumns("ID");
  }

  @Override
  public void save(Person person) {
      SqlParameterSource parameters = new BeanPropertySqlParameterSource(person);
      jdbcInsert.execute(parameters);
  }
    .............
  @Override
  public List<Person> loadAll() {
      return jdbcTemplate.query("select * from Person", (resultSet, i) -> {
          return toPerson(resultSet);
      });
  }
    .............
}
public class Person {
  private long id;
  private String firstName;
  private String lastName;
  private String address;
    .............
}
@Component
public class PersonClient {

  @Autowired
  Dao<Person> personDao;

  public void process() {
      Person person = Person.create("Dana", "Whitley", "464 Gorsuch Drive");
      System.out.println("saving: "+person);
      personDao.save(person);

      person = Person.create("Robin", "Cash", "64 Zella Park");
      System.out.println("saving: "+person);
      personDao.save(person);

      List<Person> list = personDao.loadAll();
      System.out.println("Loaded all: " + list);

  }
}

src/main/resources/createPersonTable.sql

CREATE TABLE PERSON(
ID BIGINT  PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR(255),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR(255),
ADDRESS VARCHAR(255)
);

Java Config and main class

DriverManagerDataSource can be used to connect any database server via a right JDBC driver for that particular database. We should also know the connection url and user/password to connect the server. The database should be running in the server mode for following to work.

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class AppConfig {
  @Bean
  public DataSource dataSource() {
      DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
      ds.setDriverClassName(com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.class.getName());
      ds.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/my_schema");
      ds.setUsername("root");
      ds.setPassword("1234");
      return ds;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context =
              new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AppConfig.class);
      context.getBean(PersonClient.class).process();
  }
}
