Hibernate is able to connect to mysql but Spring JPA does not - mysql

Question

I am developing a basic application that already works with hibernate and wanted to add spring JPA capabilities to make it more simpler.
When I test with hibernate, I am able to connect to the mysql database without any issues. But when I test the application from spring boot, the database access fails. I have given the same credentials in both hibernate.cfg.xml and application.properties. But not sure why the spring access is failing.
I tried granting the privileges to the user. But still not working.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'logesh'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
hibernate.cfg.xml
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/devops</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">logesh</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">logesh</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
application.properties
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/devops
spring.datasource.username=logesh
spring.datasource.password=logesh
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create
Following is the error I am getting for spring boot:
java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'logesh'#'localhost' (using password: YES)

Following is the MySQL general log where we can see that the spring boot login fails. Subsequently when trying with the hibernate it is able to login.

I could execute only the third command, which I already tried.
Edit:
This question is not a duplicate of Java JDBC Access denied for user, as I have tried all solutions recommended there before posting this question.

Answer 1

It seems that there are some trailing spaces after the username.
Can you please check if there is any space after your username or password in the property file. If there is any space after logesh, just remove it.

Answer 2

What version of Spring Boot and MySQL are you using? I created a minimal app and it is working just fine (source code here: https://github.com/behrangsa/stackoverflow-q53692999).
Also notice that the current JDBC driver class name for MySQL is com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver.
