Spring data JPA and Geometry type

Question

I am developing an application that will run on both MySql and MS SQL.

I have a field that is "geometry" type for spatial.

By using:

 @Column(columnDefinition = "geometry")
 private Point geometry;

(point is org.springframework.data.geo.Point)

Hibernate creates the field properly (hbm2ddl).

But inserting any point does not work. I get : Data truncation: Cannot get geometry object from data you send to the GEOMETRY field

I use spring-boot-jpa-starter.. and not direct hibernate.

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>
       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
            <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>

Regards, Ido

Hello I have successfully mapped a point in JPA. Here's what I did:

1. I have this on Maven:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.vividsolutions</groupId>
       <artifactId>jts</artifactId>
       <version>1.13</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
       <artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
       <version>5.2.5.Final</version>
   </dependency>
   

2. I have this on my entity:

   @Column(name = "locationpoint", columnDefinition = "POINT") 
   private Point locationpoint;
   

3. I have this on my application.properties:

   # needed for Location domain class
   spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQL56InnoDBSpatialDialect
   

4. I can get the value using this:

   locationRepository.findOne((long) 1).getLocationpoint().getX();
   locationRepository.findOne((long) 1).getLocationpoint().getY();
   

I based my solution from here Matti Tahvonen's example:

Hope this helps.
