Spring-Boot, Can't save unicode string in MySql using spring-data JPA

Question

I have my application.properties set up like this :

spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password = root
spring.datasource.url =         


        

Answer 1

Non of the answer worked for me … except the url encoding part.

The solution in my case is twofold:

1- Add encoding in the URL of Database config bean:

2- Add this configuration to your dispatcher config file:

    encoding-filter
    org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter
    
        encoding
        UTF-8
    
    
        forceEncoding
        true
    



    encoding-filter
    /*
    REQUEST
    FORWARD

Otherwise, other configurations don't take effect.
