[midPoint] Where does one configure datasources in midPoint 4.0.2?

Thu May 14 18:28:48 CEST 2020

This email is a followup on how we could potentially improve documentation on datasource configuration for embedded Tomcat versions of midPoint.

First, note that the Evolveum documentation on "Using midPoint with Embedded Tomcat",  includes the following under "Configuration" https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Using+MidPoint+with+embedded+Tomcat,"

"MidPoint configuration is done as usual in config.xml file located in midpoint.home. Configuration for embedded tomcat can be done in two places. Default configuration file name application.yml is located on classpath (admin-gui/src/main/resources folder). Custom configuration file application.yml can be placed to midpoint.home folder.
...
"Following table shows list of available properties that can be used to configure tomcat (e.g. http/https ports, session timeouts, logging, max-post-size, etc.)."

The mentioned table does not mention datasource in its example of "available properties":

It looks like the datasource settings in question are discussed only in Spring documentation on "Common Application properties", https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/appendix-application-properties.html

That site includes page after page of datasource settings, under the "Data Properties" section.

QUESTION: Do we know which of these properties need to be set, and to what values, to solve the problem under discussion? If we do, that could be the basis for improved documentation.

This should be definitely better documented, as embedded Tomcat is recommended, and in the near future the only one supported option.

Richard,

I believe that even for embedded Tomcat (used when running in standalone mode) you can configure data sources, probably by setting up things in application.yml file.

Yeah that was kind of what I meant by container, I believe its using Tomcat as the backend, or Jetty? In any case, you should still be able to create them, we don’t use that method so someone else would have to chime in on configuring them.

Not running in a container. Just did the download and run using the

start.sh script in the tarball.
