-You can even go further by leveraging what `DataSourceProperties` does for you -- that is, by providing a default embedded database with a sensible username and password if no URL is provided.
-You can easily initialize a `DataSourceBuilder` from the state of any `DataSourceProperties` object, so you could also inject the DataSource that Spring Boot creates automatically.
-However, that would split your configuration into two namespaces: `url`, `username`, `password`, `type`, and `driver` on `spring.datasource` and the rest on your custom namespace (`app.datasource`).
-To avoid that, you can redefine a custom `DataSourceProperties` on your custom namespace, as shown in the following example:

+Note that, as the custom configuration specifies in code that Hikari should be used, `app.datasource.type` will have no effect.

+As described in "`<<data#data.sql.datasource.connection-pool>>`", `DataSourceBuilder` supports several different connection pools.
+To use a pool other than Hikari, add it to the classpath, use the `type(Class)` method to specify the pool class to use, and update the `@Bean` method's return type to match.
+This will also provide you with configuration property metadata for the specific connection pool that you've chosen.

 TIP: Spring Boot will expose Hikari-specific settings to `spring.datasource.hikari`.
 This example uses a more generic `configuration` sub namespace as the example does not support multiple datasource implementations.
 
-NOTE: Because your custom configuration chooses to go with Hikari, `app.datasource.type` has no effect.
-In practice, the builder is initialized with whatever value you might set there and then overridden by the call to `.type()`.

 For a `@WebMvcTest` for an application with the above `@Configuration` class, you might expect to have the `SecurityFilterChain` bean in the application context so that you can test if your controller endpoints are secured properly.
 However, `MyConfiguration` is not picked up by @WebMvcTest's component scanning filter because it doesn't match any of the types specified by the filter.
 You can include the configuration explicitly by annotating the test class with `@Import(MyConfiguration.class)`.
