My problem is as follows. I am learning how to use JDBC, Gradle and Spring framework (I am new to these subjects). I tried to implement the following example with one difference, instead of a MySQL database instead of PostgreSQL.
As in the header, my application ends with the following Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver (stack trace at the end of the message).
Of course, before posting this question, I studied search and read, and I found that com.mysql.jdbc.Driver should be loaded either using the loader in the program, or also using the Gradle build script.
My questions are as follows:
- Why the authors example works without a loader (either in a program or in a script assembly)
- If the bootloader is absolutely necessary, could you briefly explain how to implement it?
Modified build.gradle file:
buildscript { repositories { maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot" } } dependencies { classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:0.5.0.M6") classpath 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.34' } } apply plugin: "java" apply plugin: "spring-boot" buildDir = "out" jar { baseName = "sb-jdbc" version = "0.1" } repositories { mavenCentral() maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot" } } dependencies { def springBootVersion = '1.0.0.RC1' compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc:$springBootVersion") compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:$springBootVersion") compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:$springBootVersion") compile("mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.34") testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:$springBootVersion") testCompile("junit:junit:4.11") }
My application.properties file:
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/:3306/****** spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password=******

Thank you in advance for any tips, usage examples, general examples, and so on! Hurrah!
Edit # 1
As Mr. Kamer kindly suggested, this could be a problem of missing a local jar file. I suspected that Gradle would download it automatically from the repository, in case I hadn't added it manually (I'm working on STS). Here we can see that the mysql-connector-java java container exists.
I'm sorry for these screens, I just don't know another way to show that I added it (I'm not used to Eclipse).
