driverClassName: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
I get error for the name defination(com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver)
It works fine for me While I run this application in windows system
using sql yog. But getting issue in Mac os , in mac os I use sql work
bench as editor. what is the reason for this issue

Answer 1

This type of error raises for versioning issue . Here I use MYSQL5 , I
upgrade MYSQL5 to 8 . All the errors in driver class name vanished.
This trick works for me .Here No issue in my db connection
Before my depedency
runtimeOnly("mysql:mysql-connector-java")
after upgrade to
runtimeOnly("mysql:mysql-connector-java:8.0.25")
