Spring Boot auto configuration for datasource

Fergus MacDubh :

I try to create Spring Boot app with Hibernate 5 and Postgres 9. Now I have next error:

Parameter 0 of constructor in org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration required a bean of type 'javax.sql.DataSource' that could not be found.
    - Bean method 'dataSource' not loaded because @ConditionalOnProperty (spring.datasource.jndi-name) did not find property 'jndi-name'
    - Bean method 'dataSource' not loaded because @ConditionalOnBean (types: org.springframework.boot.jta.XADataSourceWrapper; SearchStrategy: all) did not find any beans

Though, I have added spring.datasource.* properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=root

My pom.xml:

<properties>
    <hibernate.version>5.2.6.Final</hibernate.version>
    <spring.data.version>1.10.6.RELEASE</spring.data.version>

Any ideas? In most tutorials it all is very standard and very simple, it seems I miss some little part..

You're missing several classes (mostly pool related) on your classpath. The easiest solution is to use the Spring boot starter for JPA, which is:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>

If you do this, you can remove the following dependencies since they're all part of the starter:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.data.version}</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
</dependency>

The alternative solution is to manually add a pool provider to your classpath, the default of spring-boot-starter-data-jpa is tomcat-jdbc (Hikari for Spring boot 2.x) but you can use any connection pool provider you want that is listed in the documentation.
