java - spring data rest hibernate is lower casing all table names and ignores @Table("Name")

I am trying to use spring-data-rest with MySql with hibernate as the JPA provider.

I want the table names used in the query to match the simple name of the class; Nothing more. How do I achieve that?

I have tried all of the naming strategies and it seems to have no effect. In addition, I have added

@Table("Foo")

And it gets lowercased as well

Here is the error:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'TEST.worker' doesn't exist

Here is the entity:

@Entity
public class Worker {
    private Long id;
    private String givenName;
    private String familyName;
    private LocalDate dob;
    private String nationalId;
    private byte[] photo;

    public Worker() {

        this.id = Math.abs(new Random().nextLong());
    }

    @Id
    @Column(name = "ID")
    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {

        this.id = id;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "GivenName")
    public String getGivenName() {
        return givenName;
    }

    public void setGivenName(String givenName) {

        this.givenName = givenName;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "FamilyName")
    public String getFamilyName() {
        return familyName;
    }

    public void setFamilyName(String familyName) {

        this.familyName = familyName;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "DOB")
    public LocalDate getDob() {
        return dob;
    }

    public void setDob(LocalDate dob) {

        this.dob = dob;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "NationalID")
    public String getNationalId() {
        return nationalId;
    }

    public void setNationalId(String nationalId) {

        this.nationalId = nationalId;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "photo")
    public byte[] getPhoto() {
        return photo;
    }

    public void setPhoto(byte[] photo) {

        this.photo = photo;
    }
}

My relevant config:

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.generate-ddl = false

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = none
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming-strategy=org.springframework.boot.orm.jpa.hibernate.SpringNamingStrategy
