Also please look into above POM xml and update me if I am missing any dependencies. Same code is working fine on other machine

Answer 1

Please try with this pom.xml in order to use the 1.5.4.RELEASE version of Spring boot and the current version of h2 database, make sure that all the dependencies are downloaded before restart your application, if you are using eclipse also make sure to update the maven repository to the project. Hope it help. There are many dependencies so it takes time in order to download all of them properly. The parent entry should looks like this:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
Some additional information here: in order to make the SpringBootCRUDApp project ready to work you can use 1.4.x or 1.5.x Spring boot releases, just make sure that all the dependencies have been downloaded properly from Maven otherwise the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError will be thrown.
After all the dependencies are properly downloaded there is something interesting that happens with Spring boot 1.4.x because there is a new error when the code is executed called java.lang.IllegalStateException: required key [datasource.sampleapp.hibernate.dialect] not found
Why is that?: it is because of how are listed the available profiles on the application.yml properties file.
spring:
profiles: local, default
The error is raised because the blank space after the coma, in order to correct it just delete the blank space (only when Spring Boot 1.4.x is used)
spring:
profiles: local,default
and it happens because the value
" default" is not detected as a defult profile because Spring boot is expecting a "default" with out the blank space, this behavior only happens with SB 1.4.x
Why in Spring boot 1.5x there is no error? well it is because of some good enhancements that has been made to the configuration process in order to read properly the spring.profiles property and avoid the problem when there is a blank space after coma, actually that could happen only when there are many profiles but no one is active and also there is no a default profile detected.
