Configuring an HSQLDB in STS - eclipse

Question

I'm trying to put together my first Spring project, and I'm using HSQLDB as my in-memory database for development and testing. My integration test won't run because I can't seem to get the database configured correctly. It's saying there is an issue with my driver class name, but I'm suspecting there's more to it than that. (Side question: is there an easier way to set the database up? How do yo use a database script to do some of the work?) When I run the test, here is the output:

Here is my database properties file:
jdbc.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:wellness
jdbc.username=sa
jdbc.password=
Here is how my database is configured (when I right-click the hsqldb jar file and choose RunAs>Java Application and select the Database Manager). The configuration looks to me to be matching my properties file correctly:
Here is my spring-datasource.xml file. It should be pulling the correct values from the properties file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

<property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
</bean>
</beans>
Here is my application-context.xml file. You can see that I'm importing the datasource xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</bean>
<bean id="employeeService" class="com.kylewalker.wellness.services.EmployeeServiceImpl">

</bean>

Here is my integration test:

employeeService.addNewEmployee(new Employee("Billy", "Elliot", "bj#home.com"));
employeeService.addNewEmployee(new Employee("Margaret", "Welsh", "mags#amail.com"));
int employeesInDatabase = employeeService.getAllEmployees().size();
assertEquals("There should be two employees in the database.", 2, employeesInDatabase);
}
