How to persist LocalDate with JPA?

Question

I want to store Date without time into my database. So, I choose to use LocalDate type.

As mentioned in this article, I use a JPA converter to convert

Answer 1

With JPA 2.2, you no longer need to use converter it added support for the mapping of the following java.time types:

java.time.LocalDate
java.time.LocalTime
java.time.LocalDateTime
java.time.OffsetTime
java.time.OffsetDateTime

@Column(columnDefinition = "DATE")
private LocalDate date;
@Column(columnDefinition = "TIMESTAMP")
private LocalDateTime dateTime;
@Column(columnDefinition = "TIME")
private LocalTime localTime;
