Hi

I have a problem with a database i'm trying to wire up with Hibernate. In the database there are some timestamp field in timestamp column with "00000000000000" value inside and when I hit that row i got a Hibernate exception telling that Hibernate can not convert that timestamp to a date.
I can't change the values of that timestamps, how can I avoid Hibernate throwing that exception?
I mapped that field as java.util.Date in java classes and as timestamp in the Hibernate configuration files.

Thank you for helping me.

Hi,

What length are you specifying for the timestamp property in your configuration file?

Try with length=26, other than this i dont see any problem. If you are trying to use that column in your code you shouldn't get any problem..You might get an exception only if you're trying to convert that field to date and use in your program.

Yes, this is my problem, i need to wrap that timestamp in a java.util.Date inside my application, any solution for this? I can't remove or change the field with 0000000000000 timestamp.
