Error reporting reason:
a small part of the source code of the Druid connection pool

public abstract class DruidAbstractDataSource{
 	protected volatile String username;
 	protected volatile String password;
	protected volatile String driverClass;
	protected Driver driver;
}

In xml set injection is given the wrong name
<property name="driver" value="${jdbc.driver}"/>
Solution:
Change <property name="driver" value="${jdbc.driver}"/>to
<property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driver}"/>
