Unable to start embedded Tomcat org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException

Question

Started working with spring boot recently. Trying to create a simple login so I can start to migrate my spring mvc project to spring boot. However keep getting the error :

unable to start web server; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerException: Unable to start embedded Tomcat.

I have gone through all of the stackoverflow and articles related to Unable to start embedded tomcat. For example, I have tried changing the pom.xml to older versions, I have tried changing the port as some said that may be the problem and I have tried changing the annotated call at the start of the spring boot controller to @EnableAutoConfiguration and @SpringBootApplication this doesn't seem to change the error log at all.

I have also tried changing the java version and have tried it by using both java 8 and 10.

Any help would be great, please let me know if there isn't enough information.

Answer 1

First, you usually can find the root cause on last Caused by statement for debugging.

Therefore, according to the error log you posted, Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Access to DialectResolutionInfo cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set should be key!

Although Hibernate is database agnostic, we can specify the current database dialect to let it generate better SQL queries for that database. Therefore, this exception can be solved by simply identifying hibernate.dialect in your properties file as follows:

For application.properties:

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

For application.yml:

spring:
  jpa:
    database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

Answer 2

Resolved it by adding a missing property to application.properties file.

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
