mysql 8.0 Druid连接时调用getServerCharset报空指针异常解决方法

类似错误信息如下：

16:52:01.163 [Druid-ConnectionPool-Create-1641320886] ERROR com.alibaba.druid.pool.DruidDataSource - create connection error, url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jf?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull&allowMultiQueries=true

网上未解决该问题，经排查，使用mysql connector 8版本，问题即解决。所以应该来说是mysql驱动版本的问题。

8.0在驱动器类和连接串上有些变化如下：

jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/k3c?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=Hongkong
