Hibernate将默认日期时间插入不为空的列

Question

In my table I have a column with following definition.

createdat DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),

I'm trying to insert data in to this table using hibernate. I want this column to have default value. But it gives me exception

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Column 'createdat' cannot be null

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Just initiate your date object with new Date object in your POJO which is mapped in hibernate.

java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();

I suppose you have your setters and getter for POJO, whenever you forgot or dont want to set date object this default date will be used
