You can use @CreatedDate with Spring Data JPA provided AuditingEntityListener

@EntityListeners(AuditingEntityListener.class)
class Entity {
   ...
   @CreatedDate
   @Column(name = "created_date")
   private LocalDateTime createdDate;
   ...
}

Then use @EnableJpaAuditing on your application main class to enable the Spring Data JPA Auditing features for the application.
