Spring Boot Project "org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory'" ERROR

Question

I'm newbie on Spring Boot and I want to make a rest webservice with spring boot. I need to persist some data on database using Jpa/Hibernate. When I annotate my domain model class with @Entity annotation and I start my application as Spring boot application (My application class have an @EntityScan() annotation by the way.) I am getting error below :

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

When I don't annotate my application class with @EntityScan annotation and run my app and call my rest controller method of createOwner() , I am getting error below :

org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: Unknown entity: model.Owner; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown entity: model.Owner

I'll be happy if you inform me about why I'm getting these errors, thanks.

My classes are :

Domain Class :

Owner.java

@Entity
public class Owner {
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;

    public Owner() {}


    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
}

Application Class :

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages={"web","service","dao"})
@EntityScan(basePackages= {"model"})
@EnableConfigurationProperties(value = PetClinicProperties.class)
public class PetClinic {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        
        SpringApplication.run(PetClinic.class, args);

    }
}

Controller Class :

@RestController
@Transactional
public class PetClinicControl {

@Autowired
private PetClinicService petClinicService;


public void setPetClinicService(PetClinicService petClinicService) {
    this.petClinicService = petClinicService;
}

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST,value="/createOwner")
public ResponseEntity<Owner> createOwner(@RequestBody Owner owner){
    
    try {
        
        Owner ownerNew = new Owner();
        ownerNew.setId(owner.getId());
        ownerNew.setFirstName(owner.getFirstName());
        ownerNew.setLastName(owner.getLastName());
        
        petClinicService.createOwner(ownerNew);
        
        return ResponseEntity.ok(ownerNew);
        
    }catch(Exception ex) {
        
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).build();
     }
   }    
 }

My application.properties :

management.endpoints.enabled-by-default=true
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
