Let's imagine you have a pg_service.conf that says:
[foo]
host=foo.example.com
dbname=foo
port=5555
user=dcramer
[bar]
host=bar.example.com
dbname=bar
port=5554
user=dfetter
[baz]
host=baz.sample.com
dbname=baz
port=5553
user=brass_monkey
You'd use a connect string that looked something like
jdbc:postgresql://service=foo/
to get to the db called foo running foo.example.com on port 5555 as
ROLE (aka user) dcramer. The pg_service.conf could then be
distributed around and available to every kind of application--even
ones not written in java.
Cheers,
