Initialize database without XML configuration, but using @Configuration

I would like to know how to initialize a database without having to create an XML file.

I already use this kind of initialization that works fine, but in my current case I don't want to create an XML:

<jdbc:initialize-database data-source="dataSource">
  <jdbc:script location="classpath:com/foo/sql/db-schema.sql"/>
  <jdbc:script location="classpath:com/foo/sql/db-test-data.sql"/>
</jdbc:initialize-database>

I know I can create an embedded database with:

EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder builder = new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder();
EmbeddedDatabase db = builder.setType(H2).addScript("my-schema.sql").addScript("my-test-data.sql").build();

In my case, the database and schema are created using Liquibase.

I just want to initialize it with Spring and with my customized dataset, without having to create a new XML file each time just for that.

Is it possible?

The following lines of code inside your @Configuration class might work.

@Value("classpath:com/foo/sql/db-schema.sql")
private Resource schemaScript;

@Value("classpath:com/foo/sql/db-test-data.sql")
private Resource dataScript;

@Bean
public DataSourceInitializer dataSourceInitializer(final DataSource dataSource) {
    final DataSourceInitializer initializer = new DataSourceInitializer();
    initializer.setDataSource(dataSource);
    initializer.setDatabasePopulator(databasePopulator());
    return initializer;
}

private DatabasePopulator databasePopulator() {
    final ResourceDatabasePopulator populator = new ResourceDatabasePopulator();
    populator.addScript(schemaScript);
    populator.addScript(dataScript);
    return populator;
}
