Hibernate 4 with java.time.LocalDate and DATE() construct

Question

I'm trying to use LocalDate and LocalDateTime with Java 8 in my app. I'm using Hibernate 4.3.5 and Spring. I followed this interesting tutorial here and all works but I've a problem when I use DATE() construct.

When I try to do:

SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE DATE(data)=DATE(:data)

I've always an empty list also if the query I made manually (copy and past query Hibernate print) works fine. I think that the problem is the conversion that Hibernate do internally; it try to convert LocalDate to java.util.Date. I tell this because if I change the query in this way:

SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE DATE(data)=:data

I've this exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter value [2014-05-27T00:00] did not match expected type [java.util.Date (n/a)]

I made also this test:

TypedQuery<Date> test = manager.createQuery("select DATE(:test) FROM Appuntamento", Date.class);

    test.setParameter("test", LocalDate.now());
    for (Date t : test.getResultList()) {
        log.debug("T----------->" + t);
    }

And unfortunally DATE(:test) is always null!!

Any suggestion is appreciated

Thanks very much

If you use JPA 2.1 this is simple to do. Converters allow your JPA entities to use the new java.time.LocalDate and java.time.LocalDateTime classes. Simply define the needed converter classes:

LocalDatePersistenceConverter.java

import java.time.LocalDate;
import javax.persistence.AttributeConverter;
import javax.persistence.Converter;

@Converter
public class LocalDatePersistenceConverter implements AttributeConverter<LocalDate, java.sql.Date> {

  @Override
  public java.sql.Date convertToDatabaseColumn(LocalDate entityValue) {
    if (entityValue != null) {
      return java.sql.Date.valueOf(entityValue);
    }
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public LocalDate convertToEntityAttribute(java.sql.Date databaseValue) {
    if (databaseValue != null) {
      return databaseValue.toLocalDate();
    }
    return null;
  }
}

LocalDateTimePersistenceConverter.java

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import javax.persistence.AttributeConverter;
import javax.persistence.Converter;

@Converter
public class LocalDateTimePersistenceConverter implements AttributeConverter<LocalDateTime, java.sql.Timestamp> {

  @Override
  public java.sql.Timestamp convertToDatabaseColumn(LocalDateTime entityValue) {
    if (entityValue != null) {
      return java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(entityValue);
    }
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public LocalDateTime convertToEntityAttribute(java.sql.Timestamp databaseValue) {
    if (databaseValue != null) {
      return databaseValue.toLocalDateTime();
    }
    return null;
  }
}

And then annotate the appropriate entity property with the @Converter annotation:

@Convert(converter = LocalDatePersistenceConverter.class)
private LocalDate completedDate;

Update September 2015
Hibernate 5 natively supports the java 8 Date/Time APIs. Just ensure that the hibernate-java8 jar is on your class path.

If you want to use your Converter by default (on all entities). You can edit your Converter with this annotation: @Converter(autoApply = true) — Higune, Jun 17 '15 at 10:45
This works when you are using Hibernate with JPA annotations, even if you are not using entity manager. — zhy2002, Dec 03 '15 at 02:31
+1 for making me upgrade to Hibernate 5, which in the end took more time than writing some simple AttributeConverters!!! :-) — muttonUp, Jul 19 '16 at 10:39

GOOD NEWS

There is no longer need for converters in the 5.0.0.CR2 development version. According to the official site, it supports the java8 specific data types, including java.time.LocalDate.

But don't forget to add `hibernate-java8` as additional project dependency, besides `hibernate-entitymanager`. – user11153 Jul 18 '15 at 15:22
This is a nice feature of Hibernate but it is a proprietary feature. As such, if portability was a major issue, then this feature would completely be worthless. – Tiny Jan 24 '16 at 02:22
Thanks for that information. I found the whole work around very annoying. – Bogoth Mar 25 '16 at 20:31

It appears that LocalTime, LocalDate, and LocalDateTime are not supported in Hibernate. You can, However add the functionality yourself.

See http://blog.progs.be/550/java-time-hibernate

What you've got to do is convert the date into String. You may even use the java.time.LocalDate or java.time.LocalDateTime.

LocalDateTime myDate = LocalDateTime.of(2015, 04, 30, 15, 43, 12);

int numberOfIdOfDate = ((Long) session.createQuery(
   "SELECT count(*) FROM domain.PromoCard WHERE CREATE_DATE= :my_date")
   .setParameter("my_date", myDate.toString())
   .uniqueResult()).intValue();

log.info("Count of records with date '{}' is {}", myDate, numberOfIdOfDate);

Output:

[main] INFO myhibernate.PromoCardTest - Count of records with date '2015-04-30 15:43:12' is 6
