Hi,

I have a domain object which has a date property "birthDate" but the type of this property is String.

class PersonInfo{
String birthDate;

.....

}

In my hbm file i have following mapping

<class name="PersonInfo"..>

<property name="birthDate" type="string" >
<column name="BirthDate" sql-type="date" />
</property>

....
</class>


Here i want hibernate to parse the given date string and store into database. Is this possible?

when i enter a date string in the mm\dd\yyyy format its not able to parse the string and stores 0000-00-00 00:00:00 in the database. Is there a way to specify the date format in hibernate?

How to convert a date string to sql-type date in hibernate?


Thanx
Rupali

Hi Rupali,

Try

in PersonInfo class you should have property Date birthDate.

<class name="PersonInfo"..>

<property name="birthDate" type="date" column="BirthDate" />
</property>

....
</class>


If you have constrain that you can only pass String then in setter of that you can write a code to convert it to Date and assign to birthDate.
