How to connect elasticsearch 7.16.3 with Springboot v2.1.0.RELEASE

I am new in Elasticsearch. I have a Spring boot application (v2.1.0). I have setup my Elasticsearch in Google cloud with docker which has security integrated.
But I can't connect my Elasticsearch from Spring boot application.
Here are my elasticsearch

"name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_name" : "docker-cluster",
"cluster_uuid" : "abc..",
"version" : {

"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
and Elasticsearch nodes is
{

"total" : 1,
"successful" : 1,
"failed" : 0
},
"cluster_name" : "docker-cluster",
"nodes" : {

I have remove some error due to character limitations.
What I can assume it is version related problem. Can someone help me to get out of this with proper description?

looks like similar question was already answered (older version of netty, but pretty much the same) see: Unsupported http.type [netty3] when trying to start embedded elasticsearch node

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':bootRun'.
Here are the Hibernate configs in application.yml
environments:
development:
dataSource:
pooled : true
dbCreate: create-drop
driverClassName : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
username : root
password : password
url: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/Dev

I hope you did get a solution to this issue, however just in case you had not, this might help someone in future.
So I came across the same error, I had changed no code whatsoever, but the "grails run-app" was behaving as the problem above. First change I made was convert this part of the application.yml
So I came across this problem and initially changed the use_second_level_cache: true part to false:
hibernate:
cache:
queries: false
use_second_level_cache: true
Then I started facing a different issue that were MySQL specific; pertaining to non existent foreign key in hibernate, i had to remove the contentious foreign keys one by one on mysql.

Java, Hibernate - Runtime exception occured when running an existing project

The following exception is coming when I am trying to run an existing project. Any pointer will be very helpful.

below is how the bean is defined
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory.html#getFactory()
See the link. It requires a commons-logging.properties do you have any file like that in classpath?

İt can't find bean class and return nullpointerexception .
Check all class and package names are true and check your app'sname.hbm.xml file is true named . You have to put class name which you run in app'sname area ..
And check you mapped your app'sname.hbm.xml file into hibernate.cfg.xml file

Spring maven project BeanCreationException

I have upgraded to Spring source 3.1.0 and i am not sure why my project can no longer find the
ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver
I have made sure to add the server runtime libraries in my build path but i still end up with BeancreationExceptions. The stack trace:

Mainly shows that it has issues with the RelectiveLoadTimeWeaver,
Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.instrument.classloading.ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver#3834a1c8'
I was able to once update my server's context.xml and add the InstrumentalLoadtimeWeaver loader but it no longer works.

Exception shows that your application was loaded by Tomcat's own WebappClassLoader, rather than Spring's TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader - so your Tomcat configuration might have failed. Maybe you should try putting loaderClass attribute under the <Loader> element like this:
<Context path="/your-application">
<Loader loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader"/>
</Context>
as explained here.

When you run FirstFoundationClient, you are executing a Java program that runs the Alfresco server within the same process. When that program starts up the repository it needs to know information about your repo configuration. It does this by reading the alfresco-global.properties file. Inside that file you'll see things like dir.root, which points to a directory on your local file system where indexes and content lives, and you'll see a set of db.driver and db.url properties. Your error log appears to indicate that you have not set the db.driver and db.url appropriately. For example, if you are using MySQL, make sure the following is uncommented:
db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco
If you already have a working Alfresco repository running in Tomcat, you might want to grab your alfresco-global.properties file that is proven to work and copy it into the source folder for the FirstFoundationClient Eclipse project and try again. Make sure your Tomcat is not running when running this example from Eclipse.
