Springboot doesn't create the database schema - spring

Question

i am using springboot 1.4.4.RELEASE with mysql database
and the database configuration is as follows:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/springboot?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password = root
spring.datasource.testWhileIdle = true
spring.datasource.validationQuery = SELECT 1
spring.jpa.show-sql = true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming-strategy = org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
my main class:
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
}
}
my entity class (in sub package of main class) :
package org.spring.entities;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
#Entity
public class User {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
protected User() {}
public User(Long id) {
this.id= id;
}
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return String.format(
"User[id=%d, firstName='%s', lastName='%s']",
id, firstName, lastName);
}
}

the issue is that i see in the console that the create queries is generated but the table is not getting created, please advise why i am getting this and how to fix it.

Answer 1

It seems that your database url is not preceded with spring.datasource.url.
Also you dont seem to have the driver specified:
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
And lastly make sure you have that driver as on of your dependencies in your pom.xml

Answer 2

It seems that the issue was from the eclipse downloading the artifacts, when i used maven command line to download the artifcats it worked fine !
