Migration to Hibernate 6

Question

I'm trying to migration my project to Hibernante 6 but I face some problems...

1. "type" attribute of @Type annotation is not recognized : @Type(type = "yes_no")

2. Problem to instanciate entityManagerFactory :

    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    entityManagerFactoryBean.setPersistenceProviderClass(**HibernatePersistenceProvider.class**);
   

HibernatePersistenceProvider implements jakarta.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider instead of javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider

Have you any idea please ?

Thanks

Answer 1

For Hibernate 6 you'll need a 3.x release of Spring Data JPA. The latest Spring Data JPA release is 3.0.0 M4

Even with that Hibernate 6 support is flaky since Hibernate broke a lot of stuff both internally and for users as Spring Data JPA.

I'd recommend waiting until 3.0.0 GA.

For issue #1, as stated in the Hibernate 6.0 migration guide here,

Hibernate < 6.0:

@Type(type="yes_no")
boolean isActive;

Hibernate >= 6.0:

@Convert(converter=YesNoConverter.class)
boolean isActive;
