java - JPA Hibernate Persistence exception [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

Question

I've been trying to sort out a connection to my DB with JPA Hibernate and mysql, but for some reason, no matter what i try, when launching the tomcat server i get the same exception:

 org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating     bean with name 'localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean' defined in class path resource [core/JPAConfig.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean]: Factory method 'localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean' threw exception; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

This is my JPA config class:

@Configuration
@EnableJpaRepositories("core.repository")
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableCaching
public class JPAConfig {

@Value("${db.jdbcURL}")
private String jdbcURL;

@Value("${db.user}")
private String user;

@Value("${db.password}")
private String password;

@Value("${db.generateDDL}")
private Boolean generateDDL;

@SuppressWarnings("Duplicates")
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
    BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
    dataSource.setDriverClassName(Driver.class.getName());
    dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/movierentaldb");
    dataSource.setUsername(System.getProperty("root"));
    dataSource.setPassword(System.getProperty("mdie1767"));
    dataSource.setInitialSize(2);
    dataSource.setMaxActive(5);
    return dataSource;
}

@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean(){
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    vendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.MYSQL);
    vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(generateDDL);
    vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();

    factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);

    factory.setPackagesToScan("core.model");

    factory.setDataSource(dataSource());

    factory.afterPropertiesSet();
    return factory;
}

@Bean
public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory(){
    return localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean().getObject();
}



@Bean
public EntityManager entityManager(){
    return entityManagerFactory().createEntityManager();
}

@Bean
PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(){
    JpaTransactionManager manager = new JpaTransactionManager();
    manager.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory());
    return manager;
}

@Bean
public HibernateExceptionTranslator hibernateExceptionTranslator(){
    return  new HibernateExceptionTranslator();
}

@Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager(){
    GuavaCacheManager guavaCacheManager = new GuavaCacheManager();
    guavaCacheManager.setCacheBuilder(CacheBuilder.newBuilder().expireAfterAccess(2, TimeUnit.HOURS));
    return guavaCacheManager;
}

}

At this point i can't think of anything else to try..any help is much obliged

Edit: This is the entire stacktrace

Answer 1

The issue is that you are not able to get a connection to MYSQL database and hence it is throwing an error saying that cannot build a session factory.

Please see the error below:

 Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) 

which points to username not getting populated.

Please recheck system properties

dataSource.setUsername(System.getProperty("root"));

some packages seems to be missing as well pointing to a dependency issue:

package org.gjt.mm.mysql does not exist

Please run a mvn dependency:tree command to check for dependencies
