Failed to Get Driver Instance

Failed to Get Driver Instance

I'm new to Spring (Boot) and trying to get a pooled database connection to a HSQLDB server.

myDataSource

@Bean
@Profile("devel")
public DataSource myDataSource() {
    HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
    config.setJdbcUrl("org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDataSource://localhost:9001/devel");
    config.setUsername("SA");
    HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(config);

When the debugger reaches the last line it throws:

I've already checked the database and can connect to it without any problem using a tool like Squirrel and the given JDBC string.

EDIT

After setting the URL and driverClassName I'm getting this

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0: Error creating bean with name 'myDataSource' defined in class path resource [com/pushforgo/config/AppConfigurationProd.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'myDataSource' threw exception; nested exception is com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: connection exception: connection failure: java.io.EOFException; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'myDataSource' defined in class path resource [com/pushforgo/config/AppConfigurationProd.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'myDataSource' threw exception; nested exception is com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: connection exception: connection failure: java.io.EOFException

Your URL seems wrong. As far as I remember, it should be:

jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:9001/devel

And also, you didn't provide driver class name (org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver).

config.setDriverClassName("org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver");

If you are using Spring Boot 1.4, there's no need for explicit definition of data source when using HikariCP. As stated in documentation.

0

config.addDataSourceProperty("useSSL",false); may be useful.

As per documentation, the correct line should be

config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:9001/devel");
