Spring App Connection Refused in Docker 组成

Question

building a container-based web-app right now and facing following problem:

My Spring app depends on a mariaDB container to be fully up and running. When my Spring container starts it throws a Connection Refused Exception.

 java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not connect to address=(host=waterloo-db)(port=9003)(type=master) : Socket fail to connect to host:waterloo-db, port:9003. Connection refused (Connection refused)
waterloo            |   at org.mariadb.jdbc.internal.util.exceptions.ExceptionFactory.createException(ExceptionFactory.java:73) ~[mariadb-java-client-2.6.1.jar!/:na]
waterloo            |   at org.mariadb.jdbc.internal.util.exceptions.ExceptionFactory.create(ExceptionFactory.java:192) ~[mariadb-java-client-2.6.1.jar!/:na]

Even on a reconnect time of 30 seconds I get the connection refused exceptions.

My Spring Config:

datasource:
      url: jdbc:mariadb://waterloo-db:9003/waterloo?autoReconnect=true
      username: waterloo
      password: xxx
      driver-class-name: org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
      tomcat:
        test-on-borrow: true
        validation-query: SELECT 1
        validation-interval: 30000

docker compose:

#Waterloo
#waterloo-db
  waterloo-db:
    container_name: waterloo-db
    image: mariadb
    ports:
      - 9003:3306
    volumes:
      - ./waterlooDB:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
      MYSQL_DATABASE: waterloo
      MYSQL_USER: waterloo
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: xxx
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "--silent"]
      
  waterloo:
    container_name: waterloo
    image: docker.pkg.github.com/magister-media/waterloo/waterloo:dev
    ports:
      - 8085:8085
      

I hope it's something you guys can help me with.

Cheers!

add depends_on to waterloo app in the docker-compose file.

Example:

 waterloo:
    container_name: waterloo
    image: docker.pkg.github.com/magister-media/waterloo/waterloo:dev
    ports:
       - 8085:8085
    depends_on: 
       - "waterloo-db"

Docker docs . about depends_on :

Express dependency between services. Service dependencies cause the following behaviors:

docker-compose up starts services in dependency order. In the following example, db and redis are started before web. docker-compose up SERVICE automatically includes SERVICE's dependencies...
