How can I use DB side default value while use Hibernate save?

If you are using Hibernate then you can just use @CreationTimestamp to insert default date.

@CreationTimestamp
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@Column(name = "create_date")
private Date createDate;

and @UpdateTimestamp to update the value if necessary

@UpdateTimestamp
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@Column(name = "modify_date")
private Date modifyDate;
