'java.lang.RuntimeException: Driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver claims to not accept jdbcUrl,'

I am using below dependencies.

       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
            <artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
             <version>7.4.1.jre8</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
            <artifactId>adal4j</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.4</version>
        </dependency>

When I form the connection url like below.

  String connectionUrl = jdbcURL + ";databaseName=" + databaseName + ";user=" + userName + ";password="
                    + password
                    + ";encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;"
                    + "loginTimeout=30;authentication=ActiveDirectoryPassword";

I am getting error like:

' 'java.lang.RuntimeException: Driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver claims to not accept jdbcUrl,'

When I enclosed the password in curly braces like below, I am able to successfully connect to Azure sql server.

String connectionUrl = jdbcURL + ";databaseName=" + databaseName + ";user=" + userName + ";password={"
                + password + "}"
                + ";encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;"
                + "loginTimeout=30;authentication=ActiveDirectoryPassword";

Just FYI, password has one open curly brace {, is it causing any trouble? is it mandatory to enclose the password string in curly braces?

This problem is resolved when I set the password using setPassword method.

dataSource.setPassword(password);
