How to configure Datasource/Driver Manager with Progress Database?

I would like to configure an Progress DB 10.2B connection in my Spring Boot application.

I tried to read the Progress documentation but I didn't find anything that fits my scenario. This is the doc link that I've found: Progress Documentation

I have "openedge.jar" driver file provided in the OpenEdge solution.

But, I don't know how to configure a different DriverClass in Spring Boot with Maven in "pom.xml".

What should I do? Should I create a new class with the name "DatasourceConfig.java" and put a method that would return the Progress connection that should be used by the application?

I tried something like this (very newbie) but I don't know how to make it work with my entities and repositories:


public class DatasourceConfig {

public DatasourceConfig() throws ClassNotFoundException {
Class.forName("com.ddtek.jdbc.openedge.OpenEdgeDriver");
}

@Bean
Connection dataSource() throws SQLException {

String url = "jdbc:datadirectpenedge://localhost:5522;databaseName=farms;user=xul;password=Xul$445";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
return con;

}

}


I also tried by the "application.properties":

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.ddtek.jdbc.openedge.OpenEdgeDriver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:datadirectpenedge://localhost:5522;databaseName=farms


With the following dependency in my pom.xml file, created with the help of https://stackoverflow.com/a/36602256/7712038:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.ddtek.jdbc.openedge</groupId>
<artifactId>OpenEdgeDriver</artifactId>
<version>10.2</version>
</dependency>


It stills gives me the following exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'inMemoryDatabaseShutdownExecutor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/devtools/autoconfigure/DevToolsDataSourceAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'inMemoryDatabaseShutdownExecutor' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceConfiguration$Hikari.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.ddtek.jdbc.openedge.OpenEdgeDriver
