My application.properties

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/spring-mysql?useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password = 

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

In pom.xml I have following dependencies,

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>

and my Course model looks like below,

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EntityListeners;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotBlank;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.support.AuditingEntityListener;

@Entity
@Table(name = "courses")
@EntityListeners(AuditingEntityListener.class)
public class Course {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @NotBlank
    String name;

    @NotBlank
    String code;

    @NotBlank
    int passMark;

    ....
}

I also referred previous questions(Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource : Invocation of init method failed) regarding this issue, But nothing helps.

Answer 1

You have used the @Id annotation from a wrong package:

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;

It HAS to be:

 import javax.persistence.Id;
