Viewing database configuration properties

In this recipe we'll see how the database properties list command lets us view the list of database properties and their values, as specified in the database.properties file.

Getting ready

Refer to the Setting up a JPA provider for your project recipe to create a flight-app Roo project and to set up a persistence provider using the persistence setup command.

Note

You won't need this recipe if you're using a JNDI-bound data source in your Roo project.

How to do it...

Follow these steps to view database properties:

1. Start the Roo shell from the C:\roo-cookbook\ch02-recipes directory.

2. To view database properties defined in the database.properties file located in SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring\ directory, you can use the database properties list command, as shown here:

   roo> database properties list
   
   database.driverClassName = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
   database.password =
   database.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myFlightAppDB
   database.username =
