Hibernate/jpa Persisting Java Date to H2 DB Sql TimeStamp

Question

I am trying to persist entity creation date into database (h2) as time stamp. Here is code:

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@Required
public Date creationDate = new.Date();

The error I get:

[PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute native bulk manipulation query]

I think it is caused by incorrect date format. Date it is something like that: 'Wed Jul 16 13? CEST 2014' And timestamp is a digits f.e.: 124144324

I've also create clear class to check temporal persist. Here is code

    package models;

import java.util.Date;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;

import play.db.jpa.JPA;
import play.db.jpa.Transactional;

@Entity
public class Uss {

    @Id
    public Long id; 
    @Column(name="name")  
    public  String name;
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    public Date createDate = new Date();


    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Date getCreateDate() {
        return createDate;
    }

    public void setCreateDate(Date createDate) {
        this.createDate = createDate;
    }

 public String toString() {
     return "uss class: name=" + this.name + ", id=" + this.id + ", createDate=" + this.createDate; 
 }
 public int toDatabase() {
     JPA.em().persist(this);
    return 1;

 }

@Transactional
public static Uss getById(Long id) {
    return JPA.em().find(Uss.class, id);
}

}

This one works great. In database I've got timestamp column with entries like: 2014-07-17 10:24:14.357 And when I get this entity I can work with the timestamp like with java.util.date object (cause it is java.util.date object)

In my first example (the one dosnt work) I do not use persist method. I am using "native query"

String sqlQueryString = "Insert into table () values ();
Query tempQuery = JPA.em().createNativeQuery(sqlQueryString);
    tempQuery.executeUpdate();

Answer 1

I finally made it.

Variable declaration:

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
public Date createDate;

Insert method:

String sqlQuery = "INSERT INTO Incident "
            + "(customer_id, unit_id, place_id, "
            + "incidentType_id, createDate ) "
            + "VALUES ("+ this.customer.id +","+ this.unit.id +","+ this.place.id +","
            + this.incidentType.id +",'"+ Index.getDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") + "')" ;
Query tempQuery = JPA.em().createNativeQuery(sqlQuery);
tempQuery.executeUpdate();

Or just persist on model class:

     JPA.em().persist(this);

In the database I have finally entry with the date in sql timestamp type, f.e.:

CREATEDATE  
2014-07-17 15:56:28.0
