org.hibernate.type.SerializationException: could not deserialize

Question

I'm using two tables by Hibernate and I dont understand why for particular query I have this problem. I hope someone recognizes the problem.

I have a table user

@Entity
@Table(name="user")
public class User implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Long idUser;
private Area area;

//...other get and setter

@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="idarea")
public Area getArea() {
return area;
}
}

and a table area

@Entity
@Table(name = "area")
public class Area implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name="idarea")
private Long idArea;

@Column(name="area_name")
private String areaName;

@Column(name="time_start")
private LocalTime timeStart;

//...other get and setter

}

LOGS says:

15:27:28,140  INFO DefaultLoadEventListener:160 - Error performing load command

Answer 1

You can simply annotate above any field of joda time:

   @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
   @Type(type = "org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.PersistentLocalDate")

Answer 2

I would recommend to set the annotations only on the fields or the getters. I prefer the fields, but thats just my taste.

See The Curious case of Field and Property Access in Hibernate:

Thus either place the annotations on the fields only or on the getters(properties) only. Mixing them and not using @Access will cause abnormal behaviour.

Then if serialization is part of your application I would recommend to generate better serialVersionUID with a tool.
