hibernate 4 and joda-time

Question

are they happily married ?

I am using the latest version of hibernate (4) and version 1.3 of joda-time hibernate support, which I also believe to be the current late

Answer 1

A distinct paucity of documentation, means it might be helpful for me to write down the steps required for integration. Make sure your libraries are up to date.

You'll need : [assuming you already have hibernate4]

Latest version of joda-time

    joda-time
    joda-time
    2.0

and usertype lib

    org.jadira.usertype
    usertype.core
    3.0.0.CR1

Then use the following in entity classes (doesn't have to be LocalDateTime, could be any of the persisted classes available) :

import org.joda.time.LocalDateTime;

and for column definition:

@Column(name="updated", nullable = false)
@Type(type="org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.PersistentLocalDateTime")
private LocalDateTime updated;
