Springboot :: Hibernate :: Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

Question

I am working with Hibernate with spring boot. I have noticed that if I include the annotation @CreationTimestamp and @UpdateTimestamp from the package

org.hibernate.annotations.CreationTimestamp;
org.hibernate.annotations.UpdateTimestamp;

on the AuditEntity and try to run the spring boot application. My application startup fails with the below error.

""2017-10-10 12:45:18 [restartedMain] ERROR o.s.boot.SpringApplication - Application startup failed

I believe its because i am introducing some hibernate related classes which is causing this issue. Can someone please let me know whats wrong ?

In my case, I was facing the same error, together with org.hibernate.cfg.NotYetImplementedException when trying to compile the following Jpa files:

AlertJpaMode.java:

  @Entity
  @Table(name = "alerts")
  @IdClass(AlertId.class)
  public class AlertJpaModel implements Serializable {

  /**
   *
   */
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

  @Id
  @Column(nullable = false)
  @CreationTimestamp
  private Instant timestamp;

  // more fields here and constructors + getters/setters
  }

AlertId.java:

public class AlertId implements Serializable {
      /**
       *
       */
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

      private Instant timestamp;
      // more fields here and constructors + getters/setters
      }

I simply put CreationTimestamp in AlertId.java instead of in AlertJpaMode.java as follows:

AlertJpaMode.java:

  @Entity
  @Table(name = "alerts")
  @IdClass(AlertId.class)
  public class AlertJpaModel implements Serializable {

  /**
   *
   */
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

  @Id
  @Column(nullable = false)
  private Instant timestamp;

  // more fields here and constructors + getters/setters
  }

AlertId.java:

 public class AlertId implements Serializable {

      /**
       *
       */
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

      @CreationTimestamp
      private Instant timestamp;
      // more fields here and constructors + getters/setters
      }

...and it worked.

It seems the package is not detected in this case. Can you try to use this?

    @Column(name="CREATED_DATE", updatable=false, nullable=false)
    @CreationTimestamp 
    private java.sql.Timestamp createdDate;

Edit:

Remove the @Temporal.

Or keep the Temporal and put the package to it like:

@Column(name="CREATED_DATE", updatable=false, nullable=false)
@CreationTimestamp 
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private java.util.Calendar createdDate;

nope.. i get this error Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: @Temporal should only be set on a java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar property: com.niti.dao.entity.AuditEntity.createdDate

user641887 Over a year ago

the defination of TemporalType states that javax.persistence.TemporalType Type used to indicate a specific mapping of java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar. So java.sql.timestamp would never work.. but still i tried and got the error above

Kenny Tai Huynh Over a year ago

@user641887: can you try that?!

user641887 Over a year ago

i tried that .. below is the code what i tried @ Column(name="CREATED_DATE", updatable=false, nullable=false) @ CreationTimestamp @ Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) private java.util.Calendar createdDate; @ Column(name="LAST_UPDATED_DATE", nullable=false) @ UpdateTimestamp @ Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) private java.util.Calendar lastUpdatedDate; still same error
