java中连接数据库出现NullPointerException

javaWeb避坑之连接数据库NullPointerException

初次学习javaweb，利用的是idea2020.3版本
错误描述：

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Properties.java:434)
	at java.util.Properties.load0(Properties.java:353)
	at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:341)

解决思路：
本人再创建的动态网站的时候使用了idea中的maven工具，项目目录如下图

在网上看到的解决方法是把jdbc.properties文件放在src文件夹下，发现不能解决问题，然后在网上看到maven工具辅助创建的web程序需要把配置文件放在resources目录下。
上面空指针问题解决后发现又出现了init datasource error

java.sql.SQLException: Unknown initial character set index '255' received from server. Initial client character set can be forced via the 'characterEncoding' property.

然后发现是自己的mysql版本是8.0，而我使用的驱动jar包是mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin
