LocalDate within EntityClass upsets sonarQube

I have Entity Class with LocalDate in it and Entity Class it-self implements serializable as per the JPA specifications.

Everything is up untill now, but SonarQube now complains the:

Local Date is a Value type Class and should not be serialized.

It suggests to either remove the field or make it transient - both of which wont work in this case as we need those fields to be persisted to the database or maybe some in-memory storage.

public class User implements Serializable{
    //other attributes

    @Column(name = "UPDATED_DATE")
    private LocalDate updatedDate;

}

Could anyone please suggest how can we work around this?

Thanks

Solution

  • As stated in the documentation, https://sonarcloud.io/coding_rules?open=squid%3AS3437&rule_key=squid%3AS3437

    You can either put transient in front of the date field or you can suppress the warning like this:

    @SuppressWarnings("squid:S3437") //LocalDate is serializable
public class User implements Serializable{..}
