Following bean xml I used to connect database.

      <property name="sqlSessionFactory" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
    </bean> 

</beans>

database.properties

jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/thinkserver
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=

Check the screenshot for directory structure.

Answer 1

It doesn't seem like you've declared src/main/resources as a source folder in Eclipse. So it won't use it in the classpath when launching your application.

Right-click the /resources folder and select Build Path -> Use as source folder .

For whatever reason, maven didn't do it for you.

Answer 2

Properties file is not being picked up by maven during packaging. Verify by generating war file and extract the war, and you should find jdbc.properties inside WEB-INF/classes folder. If u are not finding it then problem is wth you pom.xml.

Trying adding something like below for ur build

<build>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/target/classes</outputDirectory>
        <sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/java</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.class</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/*</directory>
            </resource>
        </resources>
</build>

Answer 3

Replace this code

<bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">
      <property name="basePackage" value="com.da.thinkserver.centro.dao.mapper" />
      <property name="sqlSessionFactory" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
</bean> 

To

<bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">
      <property name="basePackage" value="com.da.thinkserver.centro.dao.mapper" />
</bean> 

No need to set sqlSessionFactory.

Answer 4

I encountered a similar problem before, then I solved it. As shown below: do not use database.properties，Write directly in the bean xml.

Answer 5

Off the top of my head: you need to tell Spring about database.properties file, right? How are you doing it? Something like this?

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> <property name="location" value="classpath:database.properties"/>
