I am trying to use JdbcTemplate in my Spring boot-angularjs application.
This is my application.properties file which is inside src/main/resources/ :
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/BlurAdmin
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=password
This is my UsersRepository.java:
@Repository
public class UsersRepository implements UserDao{
  private JdbcTemplate template;
  @Autowired
  public UsersRepository(JdbcTemplate template){
      this.template = template;
  @Override
  public boolean save(final User user){
      String query = "insert into BlurAdminUsers (username,email,password,role) values (?,?,?,?)";
      return template.execute(query, new PreparedStatementCallback<Boolean>(){
          @Override
          public Boolean doInPreparedStatement(PreparedStatement ps) throws SQLException, DataAccessException {
              ps.setString(1, user.getUsername());
              ps.setString(2, user.getEmail());
              ps.setString(3,user.getPassword());
              ps.setString(4, user.getRole());
              return ps.execute();
When the application is run I am getting the below error:
 org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'usersRepository' defined in file [C:\Users\admin\Documents\NetBeansProjects\gug-ui-blur-admin\target\classes\com\ghewareunigps\vts\ui\web\db\UsersRepository.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate]: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration$JdbcTemplateConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private javax.sql.DataSource org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration$JdbcTemplateConfiguration.dataSource; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceAutoConfiguration$NonEmbeddedConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration$JdbcTemplateConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private javax.sql.DataSource org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration$JdbcTemplateConfiguration.dataSource; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceAutoConfiguration$NonEmbeddedConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

                No MySQL dependency on your class path. Also you don't need to specify the driver as that will be deduced from the URL.

                @M.Deinum I think I have specified the driver in application.properties. am I doing it wrong??

                @Jois Yes, you have it specified, but still you need it in your external libraries, so you are saying use this one (by application.properties) but you also need to define dependency to have that what you defined what should be used.
