Answer 1

You are using the wrong Derby class. Since Derby 10.15.2, the correct name of the class is org.apache.derby.iapi.jdbc.AutoloadedDriver. In fact, you don't need to specify the property spring.datasource.driver-class-name as it will be found automatically:

Spring Boot can deduce the JDBC driver class for most databases from the URL.

Also, since you're using Java 17, you should be using Derby version 10.16.1.1.
