Configure DataSource from Java (without XML) - mysql

Question

I'm starting to develop a test application with Spring MVC and Hibernate, and I have a question about the database configuration.
I know I am able to define the datasource through the application-context.xml, like
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb"/>
<property name="username" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="password"/>
</bean>
But I wanted not to use XML at all, so I created a configuration class in which I wanted to load a DataSource object, with a method similar to this:
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
...
}
My question is: how can I get a DataSource instance that points to my MySQL schema? If there are several options, which is the best in your opinion?
I want to use a MySQL database, not an embedded one
Thanks

Answer 1

As I was working with Spring MVC, I solved it in the following way:
#Bean
public DriverManagerDataSource getMySQLDriverManagerDatasource(){
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
dataSource.setPassword("password");
dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mytestdb");
dataSource.setUsername("root");
return dataSource;
}
