I want to use MySQL database rather than using runtime database like hsqldb. I have cloned this repository and it is using hsqldb as its database.

As I want to learn how to use relational database with rest based spring application. So I have made following changes to pom.xml: changed pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <project xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="" xsi:schemaLocation=" "> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>org.springsource.restbucks</groupId> <artifactId>restbucks</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>Spring RESTBucks</name> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.1.5.RELEASE</version> </parent> <properties> <spring-data-releasetrain.version>Evans-RC1</spring-data-releasetrain.version> <tomcat.version>8.0.9</tomcat.version> </properties> <dependencies> <!-- Spring Data REST --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- JDK 8 DateTime support for Hibernate --> <dependency> <groupId>org.jadira.usertype</groupId> <artifactId>usertype.extended</artifactId> <version>3.2.0.GA</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- Database > <dependency> <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId> <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency --> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- Misc --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-tx-events</artifactId> <version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId> <artifactId>lombok</artifactId> <version>1.14.4</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId> <artifactId>json-path</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <repositories> <repository> <id>spring-libs-snapshot</id> <url> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>spring-libs-snapshot</id> <url> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> </project> 

and in application.properties (spring-restbucks/src/main/resources/application.properties), I have made following changes:

# JPA spring.jpa.show-sql=true server.port=8080 spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/restBucks spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password= 

but I am facing about 15 errors like:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'orderInitializer' defined in file [/home/jimish/projects/spring_projects/spring/spring-restbucks/target/classes/org/springsource/restbucks/order/OrderInitializer.class]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springsource.restbucks.order.OrderInitializer]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessResourceUsageException: could not extract ResultSet; SQL [n/a]; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not extract ResultSet 

So if anyone can suggest path for how to connect mysql to spring application that would be great. Thanks.

Include only the following configuration in your application.properties in classpath and it will work like a charm:

 spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/jpa_example spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect 

This "spring.jpa.database-platform" specify which database you are going to use. It may be postgress, MySQL etc. According to that you need to specify it.

Expounding on @M. Deinum's comment... You need to specify the JPA configuration information as the Spring RestBucks App is using Spring Data JPA.

Adding standard JPA properties and specifying the database-platform (Common Application Properties) should get your JPA connection working.

spring.jpa.show-sql=true spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect # Enable spring data repos spring.data.jpa.repositories.enabled=true # Replace with your connection string spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/restbucks # Replace with your credentials spring.datasource.username=sa spring.datasource.password= spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver 

Add bellow properties in your application.properties file:

# Use one of create/update/create-update spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true spring.datasource.username=root //your db user name spring.datasource.password=root //your db user password spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL8Dialect #If your MySql version 5 then use MySQL5Dialect # Enable spring data repos spring.data.jpa.repositories.enabled=true spring.jpa.show-sql=true spring.jpa.database=mysql 

Database Server IP, Port Number and DB Name

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/sample

Database Server UserName

spring.datasource.username=root

Database Server Password

spring.datasource.password=root123

Update database on every Time Server starts

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

Add MySQL Connector/J to classpath:

<dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>6.0.5</version> </dependency> 

This is an example of file application.properties inside Spring-based application:

datasource.mine.poolSize=30 spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/vy?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password=123456 spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect spring.jpa.show-sql=true spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update 

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/boot spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password= 

I was tried with above configuration but was not connected after 1 hour I was get connected by putting an SPACE after password= (password= )

Please add mysql-connector-java dependency

 <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> 

and Add the below mentioned properties in application.properties

# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update) spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/yourDatabaseName?useSSL=false spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password=YourPassword spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver 

You can verify your pom file and make sure minimum of below jars are available

 <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- Spring AOP --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- MySQL JDBC connector --> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> </dependency> **Make sure you are reading your db.properties file from application-context.xml** <bean> <property name="locations"> <list> <value>classpath:db.properties</value> </list> </property> </bean> **Make sure you use proper datasource and entity manager in application-context.xml** <bean destroy-method="close"> <property name="driverClass" value="${driver}"/> <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${url}"/> <property name="user" value="${username}"/> <property name="password" value="${password}"/> </bean> <bean> <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="spring-jpa" /> <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" /> <property name="jpaVendorAdapter"> <bean> <property name="generateDdl" value="true" /> <property name="showSql" value="false" /> <property name="databasePlatform" value="${dialect}" /> </bean> </property> </bean> **Make sure you are adding minimum of below properties in db.properties** dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbName driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver username=root password=test
