Answer 1

you need to add below dependency into you project pom.xml file, you can

<dependency>
    <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
    <version>9.1-901-1.jdbc4</version>
</dependency>

you can also download jar from below link

https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html

Answer 2

It seems to me the problem is that you spring is not aware of application.properties file . If you were using spring boot it would be picked up automatically, but in plain old spring you have to add it explicitly as far as I know.

In order to do this use PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer as described in this blog post:

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="location">
        <value>application.properties</value>
    </property>
</bean>

Answer 3

To fix project I should write in mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml same as here:

<bean class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" id="dataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bookmanager"/>
    <property name="username" value="username"/>
    <property name="password" value="password"/>
    <property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
</bean>

It works becouse my project can't read from property file.
