Why is that a problem? I also described a method that works: provide a
properties-file on the classpath with the config you want, and reference
that in property tpbMapping.

Alternatively, if you really want to be able to directly specify the
mapping itself, you should switch to using HikariCP with a driver class
instead of a datasource (see also the suggestion by brettw - the creator
of HikariCP - on Stack Overflow).

The jdbcUrl property is a property of HikariCP itself, to use that:

- Remove the hikari.dataSourceClassName from the config (or if you
created an explicit instance of data source: remove that.
- specify the hikari.jdbcUrl property with the full JDBC url
- (optionally) specify propery
hikari.driverClassName=org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver
- (optionally) remove the hikari.dataSource properties (alternatively,
if you do specify them, they are handled the same as properties
specified in the JDBC url

If you really want to specify a JDBC URL, then just don't use
FBSimpleDataSource, but just use the hikari.jdbcUrl property, which will
use the driver instead.
