Hi all,

I have a bean with Date :


With an XML mapping, this field is automatically set when inserting into database (it's OK, it's working) :


I want to use Annotations. No problems for all other fields, including @MappedSuperclass and @Embeddable, but impossible to have this field storageTimestampOrNull set when inserting. Here are my annotations for this field :

UtcTimestampUserType is an UserType to force UTC storage.
I have done many searches, and many tests, such as :

or

but nothing to do, storageTimestampOrNull is always null !

Note, for the moment, I'm working only with unit tests with HSQLDB, the target is PostgrSQL.

Versions used :

• org.hibernate:hibernate:3.2.7.ga
• org.hibernate:hibernate-annotations:3.2.1.ga
• hsqldb:hsqldb:1.8.0.10

but I can change ...

Any idea ?

Thanks

Xavier

With insertable = false in your column annotation you removed the column from any insert statement. I only use this annotation, when I want to provide a second field for the identifier of a reference. So both fields references the same column like @Column(insertable=false, updateable=false ...) private Long roleId; @ManyToMany(...) private Role role;

Kind regards
Michael

Hi Michael,



Without insertable = false, I have this error :


Without updatable = false, I have this error :


So, insertable = false, updatable = false is needed with @Generated(ALWAYS).
