How to map Duration type with JPA

Question

I have a property field in a class that is of type javax.xml.datatype.Duration. It basically represents a time span (e.g. 4 hours and 34 minutes).

JPA

Answer 1

You could try joda-time hibernate. Refer to the available types that can be persisted. You could then use the joda Duration in the following way:

@Type(type="org.joda.time.contrib.hibernate.PersistentDuration")
private Duration startDateTime;
