I'm creating a Springboot application but will be using a external MongoDB over REST. My application properties file is very simple:
application.properties
# Server server.port=8081 My global application file is also very simple. I make a connection to my externally hosted database with a Parse initialization method:
@SpringBootApplication @ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.test", "it.ozimov.springboot"}) public class TmtApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(TmtApplication.class, args); // Database connection Parse.initialize("applicationId","restAPIKey", "https://parseapi.back4app.com"); } } Why am I getting the following exception?

Is it looking for some kind of database initialization because it's running on Hibernate/Tomcat?
