DataSourceDefinition (Common Annotations 3.0 API Documentation - Apache Tomcat 11.0.23)
Description: declaration: package: jakarta.annotation.sql, annotation type: DataSourceDefinition

# Annotation Interface DataSourceDefinition

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Repeatable(DataSourceDefinitions.class) public @interface DataSourceDefinition
Defines a data source for dependency injection via the `Resource` annotation. This annotation allows developers to declaratively specify the properties of a JDBC data source, including connection details, pool sizing, and transactional behavior. The container creates and manages the data source based on the specified configuration, making it available for injection into application components.

- ## Element Details

  - ### className

    String className
    Specifies the fully qualified class name of the JDBC driver or the Jakarta Connector connection factory class that implements this data source.
    Returns:
      the fully qualified class name of the data source implementation

  - ### name

    String name
    Specifies the JNDI name under which the data source will be registered. This is the lookup name used for dependency injection or explicit JNDI lookup of the data source.
    Returns:
      the JNDI name for the data source

  - ### description

    String description
    Provides a human-readable description of the data source for documentation and administrative purposes.
    Returns:
      the description of the data source
    Default:
      `""`

  - ### url

    String url
    Specifies the JDBC connection URL for the database. This URL is used by the driver to establish connections to the database server.
    Returns:
      the JDBC connection URL
    Default:
      `""`

  - ### user

    String user
    Specifies the database user name used to establish connections.
    Returns:
      the database user name
    Default:
      `""`

  - ### password

    String password
    Specifies the password for the database user account used to establish connections.
    Returns:
      the database password
    Default:
      `""`

  - ### databaseName

    String databaseName
    Specifies the name of the database to connect to. This is used in conjunction with the server name and port number to locate the target database.
    Returns:
      the database name
    Default:
      `""`

  - ### portNumber

    int portNumber
    Specifies the network port number on which the database server is listening. A value of -1 indicates the default port for the database type.
