How to Retrieve EntityManager Properties from application.properties in Spring Boot

When working with Spring Boot, configuring the EntityManager can sometimes be a challenge, especially when you want to make use of properties defined in your application.properties file. This is particularly important for tasks such as database setup or specifying dialects for Hibernate. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can retrieve and set up these properties effectively.

Understanding the Problem

If you want to create a custom configuration for your EntityManager, you may find that the default options do not suit your specific use case. You might want to customize settings like hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto and hibernate.dialect, but without hardcoding these values in your Java code. The good news is that Spring Boot allows you to externalize your configuration using application.properties.

Step-by-Step Solution

To retrieve the appropriate properties for your EntityManager, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Autowire JpaProperties

First, you need to ensure that you have JpaProperties correctly autowired in your configuration class. This will allow you to access the properties defined in your application.properties file.

2. Define Properties in application.properties

Next, make sure to define your properties in the application.properties file. The format for defining Hibernate properties should follow the structure indicated below. For instance, to show SQL commands and set the database dialect, you could configure as follows:

3. Update the EntityManager Bean

Now, you need to update your EntityManager bean. Access the properties through the jpaProperties object and pass them to the entityManager configuration.

Here’s an updated configuration of the EntityManager bean that utilizes the properties from JpaProperties:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can seamlessly configure your EntityManager in Spring Boot while leveraging properties from your application.properties file. This approach allows for easy adjustments and improves the maintainability of your code.

If you want to experiment with various Hibernate settings, simply modify them in your properties file, and they will take effect without requiring further changes to your Java configuration.

By externalizing your configuration in this way, you not only enhance flexibility but also adhere to best practices for managing application settings within Spring Boot projects.
