<property name="startDateTime" type="date">

</property>
<property name="finishDateTime" type="date">
<column name="FINISH_DATE_TIME" length="12" />
</property>


Oracle PL/SQL Release 8.1.5.0.0

If I use the above mappings it should result in a java.util.Date object. This is ok, however when I try to reference the minutes, aDate.getMinutes(), I get an Unhandled Exception thrown: class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Does the Hibernate Date type ONLY query the date part (no time part) of an Oracle DATE column? Will I need to make schema changes to separate the date and time part for each column? Ie. START_DATE; START_TIME; FINISH_DATE; FINISH_TIME;

Check if it is an instance of java.sql.Date
This class extends java.util.Date but removes the Time part of it, just like java.sql.Time does the other way round.

If you want the date including Date and Time you need the type Timestamp on the database. This would the return java.sql.Timestamp which contains Date and Time.
