Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE

Asked on March 06, 2017
I am creating spring application. When I start tomcat server, I have following error.
Caused by: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties$DataSourceBeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE. If you want an embedded database please put a supported one on the classpath. If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to active it (no profiles are currently active).

Your project is not getting data source properties. If you are using spring boot Data JPA, use properties starting with spring.datasource.* in application.properties
spring.datasource.driver-class-name= <driver-class-name>
spring.datasource.url= <url>
spring.datasource.username= <username>
spring.datasource.password= <password>
Then spring boot automatically configure database.
We can also fix the error by configuring data source manually using configuration class with @Configuration.
@Bean
public DataSource getDataSource() {
BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName(env.getProperty("database.driverClassName"));
dataSource.setUrl(env.getProperty("database.url"));
dataSource.setUsername(env.getProperty("database.username"));
dataSource.setPassword(env.getProperty("database.password"));
return dataSource;
}
