ImprovedNamingStrategy no longer working in Hibernate 5


I have simple spring-jpa configuration where I have configured Hibernate's ImprovedNamingStrategy. This means if my entity class has a variable userName, then Hibernate should convert it to user_name for querying the database. But this naming conversion stopped working after I upgraded to Hibernate 5. I am getting the error:

ERROR: Unknown column 'user0_.userName' in 'field list'

This is my Hibernate config:

@Configuration
@EnableJpaRepositories("com.springJpa.repository")
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class DataConfig {

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource(){
        DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        ds.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        ds.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test");
        ds.setUsername("root");
        ds.setPassword("admin");
        return ds;
    }


    @Bean
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory(){ 

        HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
        vendorAdapter.setShowSql(Boolean.TRUE);
        vendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.MYSQL);

        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
        factory.setDataSource(dataSource());
        factory.setPackagesToScan("com.springJpa.entity");


        Properties jpaProperties = new Properties();

        jpaProperties.put("hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy","org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy");
        jpaProperties.put("hibernate.dialect","org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect");

        factory.setJpaProperties(jpaProperties);
        factory.afterPropertiesSet();
        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    public SharedEntityManagerBean entityManager() {
        SharedEntityManagerBean entityManager = new SharedEntityManagerBean();
        entityManager.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory().getObject());
        return entityManager;
    }



    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
        JpaTransactionManager txManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
        txManager.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory().getObject());
        return txManager;
    }

    @Bean
    public ImprovedNamingStrategy namingStrategy(){
        return new ImprovedNamingStrategy();
    }
}

This is my Entity class:

@Getter
@Setter
@Entity
@Table(name="user")
public class User{

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    private String userName;
    private String email;
    private String password;
    private String role;

}

I don't want to explicitly name my database fields within the @Column annotations. I want my configuration which can implicitly convert camel case to underscore.

Please guide.


Solution

  • Just figured out the issue, the configuration is absolutely fine when using a Hibernate version < 5.0 but not for Hibernate >= 5.0.

    I was using Hibernate 5.0.0.Final with Spring 4.2.0.RELEASE. I guess the Hibernate 5 is not fully compatible with Spring 4.2 . I just downgraded Hibernate to 4.2.1.Final and things started working fine.

    Hibernate's NamingStrategy class is deprecated in Hibernate 5.
