Ensure that you have a database driver dependency in your classpath. For example, if you are using Maven, you can use an embedded H2 database by adding the dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
    <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.191</version>
</dependency>

to the pom.xml file in the dependencies block.
