Hi,

I'm using the codegenerator and it maps 'timestamp' in the mapping file to 'java.util.Date'

Shouldn't it generate java.sql.Timestamp???

Ummm. java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date

I have the same problem...
java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date by adding a nanoseconds field, thus they are not the same thing.
Is there a solution to this code-generation problem?
Thank you!
Regards
Massimo

Have a look at http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=927602

This may give you some hints ;-)

Thank you brenuart, but I still miss the point.
Why does TimestampType.getReturnedClass() return a java.util.Date instead of a java.sql.Timestamp?
Why does hibernate in this case choose the right type for me? :)
Thank you
Massimo

Ask Gavin ;-)

To be correct, Hibernate DOES return a java.sql.Timestamp but casted to a java.util.Date...

Although java.sql.Timestamp is assign-compatible with a java.util.Date - it is not exactly the same, in the sense that Timestamp.equals(Date) will not work... Quite annoying :-(

Here is what you should do - beside asking to change Hibernate ;-) - is to create a UserType for what you need:
- either your own TimestampUserType that would return a Timestamp - if this is what you need;
- either your own DateTimeUserType that would convert the java.sql.Timestamp into a concrete java.util.Date (if you need Date+Time precision returned as a java.util.Date).


You are not the first having this problem - although the Jira issue mentionned in the URL shown above is closed - maybe you could still vote for it ;-)

I had to write such DateTimeUserType for our project - I can post it here if needed.

Note that in your case - if you need a java.sql.Timestamp - you shouldn't have anything to modify.

Just declare your properties as java.sql.Timestamp, map them as an Hibernate Timestamp - and everything should be ok.

May be it will fail since TimestampType.getReturnedClass() is a java.util.Date - no idea if it will work...

Hi brenuart, thank you for your answer.
I'll use a subclass of TimestampUserType, with the big uncertainty "will it work or is it broken? Why does Hibernate map property type="timestamp" to a java.sql.Date"?.
Thank you!
Massimo

Why would you want to pollute your domain model with JDBC-specific classes from the package java.sql????

Your domain model should not have dependencies to persistence infrastructure, if possible.

Hi Gavin,
this application binds to a legacy database, and the application must handle dates with nanoseconds (timestamp) precision, i.e. the database contains history information based on timestamps, so I have to (or at least that's what I think) map these persistent fields to java.sql.Timestamps.
Anyway IMHO if you provide a TimestampType than it should work with Timestamps at 100% for consistency.
After all Hibernate is an SQL based persistence layer, thus Timestamp is an acceptable java type.
Regards
Massimo

Dude, Timestamp inherits Date! Think about it. Hibernate has no problem assigning an instance of Timestamp to a property of type Date.

(will work, except for the Timestamp.equals(Date), Gavin, except for the equals()... :-(

maybe try Date.equals(Timestamp) if your doing a compare against a regular Date the nanos won't be there anyway.
