Hi - again... :-)

I have got a little problem with bean classes containing one or more "java.util.Date" attributes. While I defined the accordant classes as @Entity (as you see I am using annotations) hibernate does not even create a database table.
If I remove the attributes of type "java.util.Date" all my problems are blown away - except that I cannot persist my required "java.util.Date"-attributes...

What am I doeing wrong? Any idea? I would appreciate any kind of help.

Have you tried the

@Temporal

Annotation?

@schauder: THX! That seems to be what I need! I will try it out this evening and give a feedback - of course!

I tried:

@Temporal( TemporalType.TIMESTAMP )
private Date start;

That did NOT solve the problem. The table is still only generated without the java.util.Date attributes.

Any further ideas?

What database do you use?

I used this on Oracle XE / 10 and MySql (5 I think) ...

I am using the HSQLDB.

Folks! Please help me!
I am not able to solve my problem on my own:

Hibernate does not create a table for an entity if the entity-class contains a java.util.Date!

What can I do?!?

THX!

Here is what I would do:
- Make sure you are using java.util.Date and not java.sql.Date
- Create a small but complete example, and post the code here
- Try it on a different database (oracle xe, mysql ...) in order to check if it is a HSQLDB issue or a general one
- If all things fail, get the hibernate source code and debug the construction of the create table statements

Okay. Here is the result of what happened:

private java.util.Date start; --> worked
private java.util.Date end; --> failed
private java.util.Date theEnd; --> worked

It seems that "end" is an sql keyword... :-) Okay. It is an sql keyword...

Solved. Thank you.
