Hikari connection pool giving IFXHOST does not exist on target class com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource for informix - datasource

Question

I am using this property with informix version 4.10.6.20151104
spring.informix.datasource.type=com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceClassName=com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.serverName=CISCO-UCCE-EXP
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.portNumber=1504
spring.informix.datasource.dbcp2.pool-prepared-statements=true
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.IFXHOST = cisco_ucce_exp_uccx
Getting error this
java.lang.RuntimeException: Property IFXHOST does not exist on target class com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource
at com.zaxxer.hikari.util.PropertyElf.setProperty(PropertyElf.java:155) ~[HikariCP-2.4.7.jar:na]

I have also tried same configuration with referring the
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19575-01/821-0185/beanj/index.html
for IfxIFXHost also I got the same issue
kindly help.
P.S I am new to Hikari

Answer 1

Never used Hikari before, but a quick test shows the properties you should add to the datasource to get a connection:
With "IFXHOST" I get the exception:
D:\JJTMP>grep IFXHOST p.java
config.addDataSourceProperty("IFXHOST", "420ito");
config.addDataSourceProperty("IfxIFXHOST", "420ito");
D:\JJTMP>java p
[main] INFO com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource - HikariPool-1 - Starting...
[main] ERROR com.zaxxer.hikari.util.PropertyElf - Property IFXHOST does not exist on target class com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at p.main(p.java:64)
Using "IfxIFXHOST" works:
D:\JJTMP>grep IFXHOST p.java
//config.addDataSourceProperty("IFXHOST", "420ito");
config.addDataSourceProperty("IfxIFXHOST", "420ito");
D:\JJTMP>javac p.java
D:\JJTMP>java p

sysindices,informix ,1048582

And just in case, the code I was using:
// ----- p.java -----
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig;
import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource;
public class p
{
private static DataSource datasource;
public static DataSource getDataSource()
{
if(datasource == null)
{
HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
config.setDataSourceClassName("com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource");
config.addDataSourceProperty("serverName", "ids1210");
//config.addDataSourceProperty("IFXHOST", "420ito");
config.addDataSourceProperty("IfxIFXHOST", "420ito");
config.addDataSourceProperty("PortNumber", "9088");
config.addDataSourceProperty("databaseName", "sysmaster");
config.addDataSourceProperty("user", "informix");
config.addDataSourceProperty("password", "ximrofni");
config.setMaximumPoolSize(10);
config.setAutoCommit(false);
datasource = new HikariDataSource(config);
}
return datasource;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
ResultSet resultSet = null;
try
{
DataSource dataSource = p.getDataSource();
connection = dataSource.getConnection();
pstmt = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT FIRST 5 * FROM systables");
System.out.println("The Connection Object is of Class: " + connection.getClass());
resultSet = pstmt.executeQuery();
while (resultSet.next())
{
System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1) + "," + resultSet.getString(2) + "," + resultSet.getString(3));
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
try
{
connection.rollback();
}
catch (SQLException e1)
{
e1.printStackTrace();
}
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
// ----- p.java -----

So this worked for me
spring.informix.datasource.type=com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource
spring.informix.datasource.minimumIdle=10
spring.informix.datasource.maximumPoolSize=30
spring.informix.datasource.idleTimeout=500
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceClassName=com.informix.jdbcx.IfxDataSource
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.databaseName=db_
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.serverName=CISCO-UCCE-EXP
#spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.url = jdbc:informix-sqli://CISCO-UCCE-EXP:1504/db_cra:INFORMIXSERVER=cisco_ucce_exp_uccx; Protocol=onsoctcp; client_locale=en_US.57372; db_locale=en_US.57372
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.portNumber=1504
spring.informix.datasource.dbcp2.pool-prepared-statements=true
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.LoginTimeout=0
spring.informix.datasource.connectionTimeout=0
spring.informix.datasource.dataSourceProperties.IfxIFXHOST=cisco_ucce_exp_uccx
