Spring boot is not running with sql server using spring data and hibernate

I'm trying to connect to MS SQL sever using Spring Boot spring data /jpa . I add the driver to my pom file. I checked that spring data uses it ( when I change the name of it in the pom file delibratly I get an error when running it, as I expected).

I use the following params in application.properties:

spring.datasource.username=xxx

spring.datasource.password=yyy
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection
spring.datasource.testOnBorrow=true
spring.datasource.validationQuery=SELECT 1
spring.jpa.database=sqlserver
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect

When running the application I get this:

java.sql.SQLException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection at org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PooledConnection.connectUsingDriver(PooledConnection.java:280)

my pom file looks like this:

 <dependency>
      <groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
      <artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
      <version>4.0</version>
 </dependency>

When I run a simple app using the same driver all is working..

Am I missing something? some parameters? Wrong parammeters?

Any idea?

Here is the complete stack trace:
