Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured. Reason: Fa - spring

Question

I am developing a web application by using the Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Config and Docker. There are 3 projects. One is springboot web, Spring Cloud Config Server and MySql Database. I have use the Spring Boot Web with Themeleaf. It's basically perform a CRUD operation. In the development phase it's working fine. But when I deploy it in the Docker
Spring-Boot webapp container(springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud) is giving me the following error--
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
Description:
Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.
Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class
Action:
Consider the following:
If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), please put it on the classpath.
If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).
I have created 3 container on Docker Compose file.
version: '3'
services:
springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud:
image: numery/springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud:latest
networks:
- employee-network
ports:
- 8080:8080
depends_on:
- employee-database
- spring-cloud-config-server-employee
spring-cloud-config-server-employee:
image: numery/spring-cloud-config-server-employee:latest
networks:
- employee-network
ports:
- 8888:8888
employee-database:
image: mysql:5
networks:
- employee-network
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword
- MYSQL_DATABASE=employee_directory
volumes:
- /home/numery/Docker-Database/employee_directory:/var/lib/mysql
networks:
employee-network:
SpringBoot Web Application.properties is given below
spring.application.name=employee-service-mysql
server.port=8080
spring.cloud.config.uri=http://spring-cloud-config-server-
employee:8888
spring.profiles.active=dev
SpringBoot Config Server is providing the following properties--
spring.datasource.url: jdbc:mysql://employee-
database:3306/employee_directory?
useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false
spring.datasource.username: root
spring.datasource.password: rootpassword
spring.datasource.validationQuery: SELECT 1
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.tomcat.max-wait: 20000
spring.tomcat.max-active: 50
spring.tomcat.max-idle: 20
spring.tomcat.min-idle: 15
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect:
org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
spring.jpa.show-sql: true
spring.jpa.format-sql: true
spring.jpa.database: MYSQL
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto: create
Out of these 3 containers Mysql and Spring Cloud Config container is working fine. But for the Spring Boot Webapp(springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud) is exiting by giving the error above.
Note: I use the same datasouce(Spring Data JPA) configuration on some other SpringBoot Rest API. Which are working fine. But this is the first time I am using SpringBoot Web. Do I need to explicitly define any configuration on the data-source.
Please help!!

Answer 1

The datasource URL, that is spring.datasource.url: jdbc:mysql://employee- may be wrong.
OR Should add your datasource url to your Application.properties file
The url should be in the format jdbc:oracle:thin:#hostname:portNumber/schemaName
For further details and clarification, Not using the hostname and port in jdbc url

Answer 2

I perform the following task to solve the problem--
1) We should have up and running the mysql
container.
2) Inspect mysql container which ip running--
docker inspect mysqlcontainer | grep IP
3) Add the IP of that mysql container to my
springboot web app--
"spring.datasource.url:
jdbc:mysql://172.20.0.2:3306/employee_directory?
useSSL=false&serverTimezone
=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false"
4) run mvn clean, mvn install and build the
SpringBoot Web image.
5) If we down the container we need to perform the
same task again. Because each time Mysql
container obtain the different ip.
