I have a vert.x maven project using the vertx-jdbc-client version 3.6.0 and according to the vertx jdbc docs there are some basic c3p0 configs you can specify in the config object passed in when creating a JDBCClient, but for the rest you need to use a c3p0.properties file on the classpath. I placed the c3p0.properties file in src/main/resources/c3p0.properties with:
initialPoolSize=1
acquireRetryAttempts=1
I verified that the c3p0.properties file is in target/classes after the build, the log output even changes on startup, where it used to say
10:52:57.388 [vert.x-eventloop-thread-0] DEBUG com.mchange.v2.cfg.MConfig - The configuration file for resource identifier '/c3p0.properties' could not be found. Skipping.
It no longer says this with the file there, so it seems it is finding it. But the values are not being respected, I still get the default initial pool size (3) and retry attempts (30).
What am I doing wrong? Any solutions for advanced c3p0 configurations in a maven vertx project?
