java - How to use Spring Boot with MySQL database and JPA?

Question

I want to setting Spring Boot with MySQL and JPA. For this I create: Person

package domain;

import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table(name = "person")
public class Person {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Long id;

@Column(nullable = false)
private String firstName;

// setters and getters
}

PersonRepository

package repository;

import domain.Person;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;


public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

Page<Person> findAll(Pageable pageable);
}

PersonController

package controller;

import domain.Person;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import repository.PersonRepository;

@Controller
public class PersonController {

@Autowired
private PersonRepository personRepository;

@RequestMapping("/")
@ResponseBody
public String test() {
    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstName("First");
    person.setLastName("Test");
    personRepository.save(person);
    return "hello";
}
}

Start class Example:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SpringApplication.run(Example.class, args);
}

}

And for database configuration, I create application.properties

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers=true

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test_spring_boot
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

So I have project structure:

But as a result I have exceptions:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to parse configuration class [Example]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [org/springframework/security/config/annotation/authentication/configurers/GlobalAuthenticationConfigurerAdapter.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist

As a example I use: spring-boot-sample-data-jpa/pom.xml

I created a project like you did. The structure looks like this

The Classes are just copy pasted from yours.

I changed the application.properties to this:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/testproject
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

But I think your problem is in your pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Check these files for differences. Hope this helps

Update 1: I changed my username. The link to the example is now https://github.com/Yannic92/stackOverflowExamples/tree/master/SpringBoot/MySQL
