I am facing an issue while upgrading my Spring Boot from 2.6.11 to 2.7.7. I upgraded the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver from 7.4.1.jre to 10.2.jre8.
implementation 'com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc:10.2.jre8'
I also added encrypt=false to application.properties.
Did anyone experience a similar problem. If someone could point out where I'm going wrong, it would be a huge help.
Error:
