Groovy: How to access to the values already set in DataSource

Question

Hi!

I have a groovy application which is using an Oracle DB as DataSource.

In DataSource.groovy I've set:

dataSource {
pooled = true
driverClassName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username = "scott"
password = "tiger
//loggingSql = true
}

For some performance reasons at some points I am accesing the DB using sql in the following way:

def sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE", "scott", "tiger", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver")

That is, username and password are hardwired twice in the application. My question is if it possible to address in my application to the attributes username and password already set in the DataSource.groovy.

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Answer 1

Can't you just do the following? (assuming that dataSource is a variable in scope)

def sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE", dataSource.username, dataSource.password, dataSource.driverClassName)

Answer 2

You may create Sql class by datasource, for example

def sql = new Sql(myDataSource)

where myDataSource - object of class DataSource (you can get your DS declared in DataSource.groovy)

Answer 3

The solution is to add some imports

import javax.sql.DataSource
import groovy.sql.Sql
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder

and the following code:

def _url      = ConfigurationHolder.config.dataSource.url
def _username = ConfigurationHolder.config.dataSource.username
def _password = ConfigurationHolder.config.dataSource.password
def _driver   = ConfigurationHolder.config.dataSource.driverClassName
def sql = Sql.newInstance(_url, _username, _password, _driver)

def query = "<your SQL query>"
sql.eachRow(query){
    println "ID: " + it.id // Whatever you need
}
