Unable to run from jar, but able to run from IDE

[pradithya]

Encountered "Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource " while launching java -jar microservices-demo-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar registration. This error however is not triggered while launching from IDE.

Related to spring-projects/spring-boot#6635 and is fixable by upgrading spring boot version to 1.4.1

This is an error due to auto-configuration failure - Spring Boot did not configure JPA for you. I do not get this when I run the code.

I have just upgraded the application to use a later version of Spring Boot - please try again.
