Spring Boot - DataSource Runtime Error

I've been stuck on implementing MySQL using Maven and SpringBoot in Eclipse. I am trying to just run the application but it keeps showing me errors.

And here is my app:

package io.msela;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.domain.EntityScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;

import io.msela.springbootstarter.employee.EmployeeRepository;
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan({"io.msela"})
@EntityScan("io.msela.springbootstarter")
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = EmployeeRepository.class)
public class EmployeeApiDataApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EmployeeApiDataApplication.class, args);
    }
}

And my properties file:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.jpa.database-platform = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_example
spring.datasource.username=springuser
spring.datasource.password=ThePassword
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

It seems like the poor thing can't initialize the DataSource. I made the project work using an internal database, but MySQL seems to be a completely different beast.

You don't need to specify :

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Declaring this :

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_example

will allow Spring Boot to discover the correct driver class and to load it.

The Spring Boot documentation states :

You often won’t need to specify the driver-class-name since Spring boot can deduce it for most databases from the url.

Besides, it also says :

I.e. if you set spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver then that class has to be loadable.

But the thrown exception shows that the class is not loadable :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

So, I suppose that you have a classloading issue.

Here is the way which Spring Boot works to assert that the driver class is loadable :

public class DataSourceProperties {
   ...

   public String determineDriverClassName() {

     if (StringUtils.hasText(this.driverClassName)) {
        Assert.state(driverClassIsLoadable(),
                "Cannot load driver class: " + this.driverClassName);
        return this.driverClassName;
     }
   ...

that invokes :

    ...
    private boolean driverClassIsLoadable() {
        try {
            ClassUtils.forName(this.driverClassName, null);
            return true;
        }
        catch (UnsupportedClassVersionError ex) {
            // Driver library has been compiled with a later JDK, propagate error
            throw ex;
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    ...
}

In your case, you enter in this catch statement :

catch (Throwable ex) {
        return false;
}

So ClassUtils.forName(this.driverClassName, null); doesn't manage to load the class and throws an exception.
The problem is that the root exception caught in the catch is shocked by Spring Boot.
So the error message is general.

If you are interested in understanding the root cause or you are using a rare DBMS that is not automatically mapped by Spring Boot to a driver class, you could run in debug mode and set a breakpoint at this statement : 

ClassUtils.forName(this.driverClassName, null);

you must include mysql jar in your classpath before executing the application as it is throwing
"Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" error. you can check here JDBC Driver class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
