Spring Boot: Jdbc javax.net.ssl.SSLException: closing inbound before receiving peer's close_notify

I am currently learning more about implementing JDBC and using databases in a Spring Boot webapp, and I encountered the following Stack Trace written in the bottom of the post.

I have created a simple Employee model, and I am trying to execute some database code on the same class which my main() lies in. The model and the main class are the only two java files existing in this whole project. I am trying to implement the following run() code that overrides the one from the interface, CommandLineRunner, but I do not get the logs that should come after log.info("Part A:"):

log.info("Part A:")
employees.forEach(employee -> {log.info(employee.toString());
        log.info("part a");});

--Things I noticed:

I noticed that the last line of the log before the stack trace starts comes from: "Thread-1" instead of "main". I think that means that a thread from somewhere other than the main encountered an error and closed connection before when it should close normally.

Also, I think that because HikariPool closed before "peer's close_notify", which I presume that it refers to the normal closure of HikariPool, I am not able to see the final bit of logging that I have kept trying to procure. The final bit of logging that I want to see is the logging of the employee that has become inserted into my database.

The final bit of logging that I want to see should be procured from this line of code:

employees.forEach(employee -> {log.info(employee.toString());
        log.info("part a");});

--Things to note:

Because of this line in the log, I thought I would see the employee inserted into my database, but when I queried directly on MySQL Command Line Client, it returned an empty set:

2018-11-03 21:08:35.362  INFO 2408 --- [           main] c.j.jdbctest1.JdbcTest1Application       : rows affected: 1

I don't understand why a row has been affected when nothing has been inserted into the database.

The stacktrace and logs: (The stacktrace pasted below actually repeats itself several more times but I cut it off for brevity.)

The Java Code:

@SpringBootApplication
public class JdbcTest1Application implements CommandLineRunner {
    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(JdbcTest1Application.class);

    @Autowired
    JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(JdbcTest1Application.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        log.info("Creating tables");

        jdbcTemplate.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS employees");
        jdbcTemplate.execute("CREATE TABLE employees (emp_id int, name varchar(100), role varchar(100), status varchar(100))");

        log.info("Inserting Baggins Hopkins");
        int rowsAffected = jdbcTemplate.update("INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE(EMP_ID, NAME, ROLE, STATUS)"
                + " VALUES(1,'Baggins Hopkins','thief','WORKING')");
        log.info("rows affected: "+ Integer.toString(rowsAffected));
        log.info("Querying for employee");
        String sql = "SELECT emp_id,name,role,status FROM employees";
        List<Employee> employees = jdbcTemplate.query(sql,(rs, rowNum)-> 
        new Employee(rs.getInt("emp_id"), rs.getString("name"),
                rs.getString("role"),Status.valueOf(rs.getString("status"))));
        log.info("Part A:");
        employees.forEach(employee -> {log.info(employee.toString());
            log.info("part a");});

    }
}

Also just in case this matters, I pasted this code from application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/employee_database
spring.datasource.username=employee
spring.datasource.password=employee
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

Solution 1:

The SSL connection to the database is failing, try changing your datasource URL to:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/employee_database?useSSL=false

Solution 2:

The warning looks like a MySQL driver bug with Java 11 and SSL enabled : https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=93590
Deactivating encryption because of a driver warning is a bad idea.

Your insertion problem looks more like a classic transaction issue though, I doubt it is related to the SSL warning.

Solution 3:

I also faced the same issue. if you look the the stacktrace, it's cleary mentioned what to do -

Sat Mar 16 09:00:01 IST 2019 WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. 
You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting **useSSL=false**, or set **useSSL=true** and provide truststore for server certificate verification.

so after disabling the ssl by making changes in data source url solved the problem -

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/security?useSSL=false
