Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource

Question

I'm quite new to spring and spring boot application. Getting the error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource. It says unable to build EntityManagerFactory. Error displayed in console:

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

Solution

You need to use LocalContainerEntityManagerBeanFactory for managing. It will help you to manage database connection and entity class in better way.
