JPA AttributeConverter – A Beginner’s Guide
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how the JPA AttributeConverter works and how we can use it to customize the entity attribute to the database column mapping. For instance, we could use a JPA AttributeConverter to map a Java MonthDay to a database DATE column because Hibernate doesn’t offer a built-in MonthDayType to handle this particular mapping.
How to map a PostgreSQL Range column type with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how to map the PostgreSQL range column types with JPA and Hibernate. Luckily, you don’t have to implement a custom Hibernate type for the PostgreSQL range column type since the Hypersistence Utils project already provides support for it.
How to map a PostgreSQL HStore entity property with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction The Hypersistence Utils open-source project allows you to map a great variety of database types that are not supported natively by Hibernate ORM (e.g. JSON, ARRAY, YearMonth, Month, INET addresses). In this article, we are going to see how you can map a PostgreSQL HStore type, which allows you to store key/value pairs, to a Java Map entity property when using JPA and Hibernate.
How to map a PostgreSQL Enum ARRAY to a JPA entity property using Hibernate
Introduction The Hypersistence Utils OSS project allows you to map JSON, ARRAY, YearMonth, Month or database-specific columns (e.g., INET addresses). In this article, we are going to see how you can map a PostgreSQL Enum ARRAY type to a Java array entity property when using JPA and Hibernate.
How to bind custom Hibernate parameter types to JPA queries
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how we can bind a custom Hibernate parameter type to a JPA query. I decided to write this article after one of my hibernate-types framework users created this very interesting issue on GitHub.
How to map java.time Year and Month with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how you can map the java.time.Year and java.time.Month with both JPA and Hibernate. As explained in this article, JPA 2.2 supports LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, OffsetTime, OffsetDateTime from the java.time package. Hibernate has been supporting the Java 8 Date/Time classes since 5.0 via the hibernate-java8 dependency, but since version 5.2, this dependency was merged with hibernate-core so you get the Duration, Instant and ZonedDateTime types in addition to the ones supported by JPA 2.2. However, neither JPA nor Hibernate supports the java.time.Year type out-of-the-box…. Read More
How to map the PostgreSQL inet type with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how to map the PostgreSQL inet type with JPA and Hibernate. Traditionally, PostgreSQL has been offering more column types than other relational database systems. And you don’t even have to implement these types I’m presenting here since they are available via the Hypersistence Utils project.
How to fix the Hibernate “No Dialect mapping for JDBC type” issue
Introduction Recently, stumbled on this question on the Hibernate forum, and since I’ve been seeing it before on StackOverflow and bumped into it myself while working with JPA and Hibernate, I decided to turn the answer into an article. Therefore, in this article, you are going to find out how you can fix the “No Dialect mapping for JDBC type” Hibernate issue.
How to query by entity type using JPA Criteria API
Introduction Inspired by this Hibernate forum post, I decided to write an article to explain how you can filter by the entity type using Criteria API.
Hibernate HSQLDB ARRAY Type
Introduction As previously explained, although Hibernate does not support database ARRAY column types by default, you can easily implement a custom Hibernate ArrayType. While the previous solution worked on PostgreSQL, in this article, you are going to see that it is fairly easy to adapt it to HSQLDB.
