How to load external configuration properties (DB Config) on Spring fat jar?

I am creating a service that runs automatically once the jar runs built with Spring. When the database configurations are written in the default application.properties, it can run normally and successfully done its tasks.
However, when I extract out the DB configs from there, and put them in app.properties which placed in the same folder as the fat jar, it returns this error:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration': 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.orm.jpa.JpaBaseConfiguration.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 org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE. If you want an embedded database please put a supported one on the classpath.

This error pops when I execute the jar with the flag -Dspring.config.location=file:./app.properties, or when I put the spring.config.location and spring.config.name inside the default application.properties.
I ran the command to run jar with this:
java -jar .\fatjarapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -Dspring.config.location=file:./app.properties
How can I execute this with DB config on external properties file while running spring fat jar??
Edit
I have been able to resolve the execution with the flag -Dspring.config.location or --spring.config.location, but I am still curious whether if I put the spring.config.location and its path inside the default application.properties, it would work or not.

Previously, I did not expect whether the position of the spring flags needed to be placed before the jar filename, but it seems to be like that. In the Windows Powershell, I need to wrap the whole flag and its attribute with the doublequotes (") as well, so it turns to be:
java -jar "-Dspring.config.location=file:./app.properties" .\fatjarapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
And it runs normally and successfully as before.

spring boot error - Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not configure JTA platform

Spring Boot does not support Hibernate 3.5.
Minimum required version is Hibernate 4.2.
You can work around that by completely disabling the auto configuration for Hibernate:
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class})
If you do deploy your service as an executable JAR with embedded Tomcat, there is no reason to use such an old Hibernate version, so you should use the one which Spring Boot defines.

Why does my ApplicationContext fail to load when I enable web security?

I have a Spring Boot application that I would like to add Spring Security too. So I've added the following configuration, which starts and runs just fine:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Resource
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder(){
return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
if(environment.acceptsProfiles("live")) {
http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure();
}
http.csrf().disable();
}
}
The problem is that my functional tests fail to load the application context. All functional tests extend from the following configuration:
#ContextConfiguration(loader = SpringApplicationContextLoader.class, classes = MyConfiguration.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#IntegrationTest
class ContextInitializer extends GebReportingSpec {
}
When the tests attempts to load the application, it throws the following stack trace:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'defaultServletHandlerMapping' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerMapping]: Factory method 'defaultServletHandlerMapping' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A ServletContext is required to configure default servlet handling

Seems like I need to let the Integration test context loader know about the spring security somehow.
EDIT:
I've narrowed the problem down to a converter that pulls in a PasswordEncoder. Removing the converter and using the PasswordEncoder directly in the controller causes the problem to go away. Also, removing the Security Configuration will allow me to use the Converter just fine.
Here is a link to a repository I made that replicates the issue:
https://github.com/StephenTurley/SpringBootSecurityTest.git
The last commit causes the error. Not sure why I can't use spring converters and Spring security. Any ideas?

I suspect this is an initialization issue that is fixed by adding DelegatingFilterProxy support in Boot 1.3. I sent you a pull request that resolves the issue by updating to Spring Boot 1.3.2.RELEASE. It also resolves a few other dependency issues I was having.

Came across the same problem sometime back and fixed it adding javax.servlet-api and jsp-api in test scope, can you try adding same dependencies, below for reference:
For Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
For Gradle:
testCompile "javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1"
testCompile "javax.servlet:jsp-api:2.0"
Also make sure you have spring-test dependency in test scope in your classpath.

I think in you application context shoul include the security context, so try to add that in you application context:
#Configuration
#Import({
SecurityConfiguration.class
})
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {
})
public class ApplicationContext {
}
Anothing, I think SecurityConfiguration should be called as SecurityContext.

I may be lacking some context information here but have you tried:
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class,WebMvcAutoConfiguration.class })
Maybe one of your #Configuration classes is annotated with #EnableWebMvc??

}
}
My MongoRepository class. This is class is in different package than main class and entity (document) class.
public interface BloodGroupRepository extends MongoRepository<BloodGroup, String>{
}
I have #EnableMongoRepositories("com.awt.mongo.repository") in main class.
I am not able to find any solution. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The exception was because of spring jpa. I removed spring-jpa dependency from pom.xml and it solved my problem. Thanks all for help and quick response.

I can see from your error that your data source is not correctly configured:
"Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE. If you want an embedded database please put a supported one on the classpath."
I suspect the line that states:
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mongodb.Mongo
is wrong - this looks like a JDBC driver, but as MongoDB is a NoSQL database its driver doesn't conform to the same standards.
The spring documentation suggests the following properties for MongoDB:
spring.data.mongodb.host= # the db host
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017 # the connection port (defaults to 27107)
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost/test # connection URL
spring.data.mongodb.database=
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=
spring.data.mongodb.grid-fs-database=
spring.data.mongodb.username=
spring.data.mongodb.password=
spring.data.mongodb.repositories.enabled=true # if spring data repository support is enabled

I removed the <version> tag in POM file, the problem fixed

I have added the following dependency
JDBC dependency
spring-jpa dependency
my issue was resolved when I removed both the dependency

The key statement of your stack trace is:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl.getDefaultParameterNameProvider()Ljavax/validation/ParameterNameProvider;
This answer seems also to apply to your problem description/exception message: You have a conflicting javax.validation version!
Hint: I prefer Netbeans' "Graph View" (of a pom editor) for identification & elimination of dependency conflicts (especially after some version upgrade). The "pure-maven-way" would be:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=javax.validation

for my case, it was due to the spring mvc version from spring boot starter web not compatible with spring data.
and the exception could be really tricky, where there are two constructors for AbstractMethodError, while the first one is default without any parameter. So depends on the implementation, if they throw exception using first constructor, would require a lot hard work for debugging.

add hibernate validation dependency, I have used only Simple validation config.
import org.springframework.validation.Validator;
Other Imports
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages= {"com.app"})
public class WebMvcConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
..........
#Override
public Validator getValidator() {
LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
validator.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
return validator;
}
}
Pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
Conclusion: hibernate dependencies required.
