Loading class `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. This is deprecated. The new driver class is `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'

Question

This is the Warning im getting in console, Im confused with this warning:

Loading class `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'.  This is deprecated. The new driver class is `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'. The driver is automatically registered via the SPI and manual loading  of the driver class is generally unnecessary. 

Answer 1

I resolved this problem by change application.properties of

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

to

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

Hope it help

Answer 2

If you're using Hibernate then change in your "hibernate.cfg.xml" the following:

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> 

To:

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</property> 

That should do :)
