Postgresql – spring boot + hibernate 5 + java 8 + ZonedDateTime = ImplicitNamingStrategy exception

hibernate-5.xjava-8postgresqlspring-boot

I have an spring boot app that leverage the java 8 and have used hibernate 4 so far. I needed however to change part of my model to include the new ZonedDateTime class provided by java8 i.e. I needed a datatime type that provide me the instance of time in utc together with the offset and the time zone. For that reason i wanted to have the native hibernate 5 support. I have replaced in my pom the the parts:

    //<dependency>
    //  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    //  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    //  <version>4.3.10.Final</version>
    //</dependency>


    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-java8</artifactId>
        <version>5.0.0.CR2</version>
    </dependency>

and i have changed in my SpringPercisence confguration class to use the hibernate 5 instead of hibernate 4 i.e.

    @Bean
    public org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory() {

//      org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();

        sessionFactory.setDataSource(this.dataSource());
        sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan("org.test");
        sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());

        return sessionFactory;
    }



       @Bean
//     public org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager() {
       public org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager() {
          HibernateTransactionManager txManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
          txManager.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory().getObject());

          return txManager;
       }

       @Bean
       public PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor exceptionTranslation() {
          return new PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor();
       }


        @Bean
        public  Properties hibernateProperties() {
          return new Properties() {


            {
                setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect");
                setProperty("hibernate.chach.provider_class", "org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider");
                setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "true");              
//              setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");
                setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create-drop");

//              setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "update");

             }
          };
       }

I am getting an error that is somehow related to the "sessionFactory" bean that configured above, and later it says something about ImplicitNamingStrategy. I have read here

http://in.relation.to/2015/03/31/hibernate-orm-500-beta-1-release/

that hibernate NamingStrategy has been removed but i do not understand what exactlly that mean. Since i was not able to find an example of hibernat and spring4 i hope that someone could help me out here with this one.

Best Answer

Your pom is containing a lot of clutter and working around Spring Boot defaults. I suggest using the correct starters and not add the dependencies again. Also instead of using java-version use java.version this will set the correct version for Spring Boot also and thus you could remove the compiler plugin.

Also support for Hibernate 5 CR2 has been added to Spring 4.2 in the latest release candidate of Spring 4.2 (RC3). So I suggest using that instead of the one you are using now. Also I suggest specifying the hibernate.version as a property to trigger Spring Boot to include the correct version.

All this leads to the following pom (did a bit of cleanup and moving things around to my personal preference).
