Thread: [PATCH] Expose URL property in BaseDataSource

Hi all,

The attached patch does the following:

- changes visibility of Driver.parseUrl to public static
 - changes visibility of BaseDataSource.getUrl to public
 - add setUrl to BaseDataSourc based on Driver.parseUrl

Adding this property to all datasources simplifies their set-up by
 using the same url/user/pass as with DriverManager.

No they are not, but in fact no connection property is mandated by the
spec regarding DataSources.

It is simply a convenient way of configuring the DataSource, similar
to the configuration through DriverManager: url+user+pass

As the URL parsing is already present in Driver, and the URL building
in BaseDataaSource, I just connected url parsing to the BaseDataSource
attributes.

We currently use Oracle, HSQLDB and Postgresql, which is the only one
not exposing a URL property for datasources.

Hi,

Is the patch attached to my initial message
(http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAFKiveQyuA+PQ310pV3tLB5yyjWWbNsuyMaLcpuEW3jk8F_uFg@mail.gmail.com)
acceptable? Does it need more work?

Hi Dave,

May the patch be included in the upcoming PostgreSQL 9.3 JDBC driver?

Thanks.

To be used from BaseDataSource without requiring instantiation.
