Hibernate. PSQLException: bad value for type int : admin

Question

Well I have a desktop application with JAVA and Hibernate 4.3.1. For now I have just two entities (User and Role).

User

...

@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@Fetch(FetchMode.JOIN)
@JoinColumn(nullable = false, name = "fk_role")
private Role fk_role;

...

Role

...

@Column(name = "admin", nullable = false)
@Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.BooleanType")
private boolean admin = false;

...

I have tried instead

@Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.BooleanType")

this.

@Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.NumericBooleanType")

and

@Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.YesNoType")

and

@Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.TrueFalseType")

As shown here: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/reference/en-US/html/types.html#types-value-basic

And nothing. =/

I tried this too: http://alenovarini.wikidot.com/mapping-a-custom-type-in-hibernate

=( In the database, the type for column admin is boolean and I use Postgres 9.3. When I run this, I got the following: --

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: bad value for type int: admin

Answer 1

For me the problem was while using enum inside Entity column. Solution was to add @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) in column definition.

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)

Answer 2

Finally I found the error!

The error message that Hibernate was returning to me was "bad value for type int: admin", but that was not the problem. This message was completely crazy in relation to the issue. The real problem was that in the database my primary key (pk_role) is a VARCHAR type, but in my entity I put as an INTEGER type.

After Vlad try to help me supposing the version of the jdbc driver, I put the configuration exactly equal to other project I have working pretty well and the error was the same, so I knew that the error was in my own code, for sure.

Answer 3

If you have a separate database schema, just change the column type to boolean:

ALTER TABLE role ALTER COLUMN admin TYPE boolean default false;
ALTER TABLE role  MODIFY admin NOT NULL;

and then the mapping is as simple as this:

@Column(name = "admin", nullable = false)
private boolean admin = false;
