Problem is solved - thanks for your help crazycoder. The issue was caused by an older version of tomcat. After upating the embedded tomcat of Spring to 1.5.3_RELEASE and updating mysql-jdbc-driver as well , it finally worked for me. I adjusted the pom.xml like this:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    2.0.0.RELEASE
