Driver.getPropertyInfo() returns a list of all available properties that can be supplied when using the driver to create a JDBC connection.

import java.sql.Driver;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.DriverPropertyInfo;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
    String url = "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:data/tutorial";

    Driver driver = DriverManager.getDriver(url);

    DriverPropertyInfo[] info = driver.getPropertyInfo(url, null);
    for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
      System.out.println(info[i].name);
      // Is property value required?
      System.out.println(info[i].required);
      // Get current value
      System.out.println(info[i].value);
      // Get description of property
      System.out.println(info[i].description);

      // Get possible choices for property;
      // if null, value can be any string
      String[] choices = info[i].choices;
      if (choices != null) {
        for (int c = 0; c < choices.length; c++) {
          System.out.println(choices[c]);
        }
      }
    }
