Question: Unable to figure out what is causing the issue.

**My application.properties file**

```
    spring.datasource.url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Medical_Tracking?useSSL=false"
    spring.datasource.username=root
    spring.datasource.password=root
    spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
    spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
    spring.jpa.show-sql=true
    spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
    spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true

```

Quick help is appreciated

Answer: 
your config spring.datasource.url should not use "",
use
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Medical\_Tracking?useSSL=false
instead
Try following change in applications.properties file:

Replace

```
 spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

```

with

```
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

```
