Solution

You can check out our example in the wiki here:

As covered by this article:

EDIT: The code provided above is incorrect. You are trying to use MySQL `DataSource` properties for an Oracle `DataSource`. And now you're mixing up a `Driver`-based configuration with a `DataSource`-based one. Simplify it:

Driver:

private HikariDataSource dataSource() {
   final HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource();
   ds.setMaximumPoolSize(100);
   ds.setDriverClassName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); 
   ds.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"); ;
   ds.setUsername("username");
   ds.setPassword("password");
   return ds;
}

OR DataSource:

private HikariDataSource dataSource() {
   final HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource();
   ds.setMaximumPoolSize(100);
   ds.setDataSourceClassName("oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource");
   ds.addDataSourceProperty("serverName", "yourServer");
   ds.addDataSourceProperty("port", "1521");
   ds.addDataSourceProperty("databaseName", "XE");
   ds.addDataSourceProperty("user", "username");
   ds.addDataSourceProperty("password", "password");
   return ds;
}

Also, 100 connection is way to big for Oracle unless you are running 20K transactions per-second, 10-20 is more reasonable.
