I have been consulting a number of approaches/posts/stackoverflow questions in order to deal with the following error (full stack trace) when running a Kotlin/SpringBoot application:

The issue lies in mapping the PostgreSQL’s JSONB data type with Hibernate.
The 2 approaches I have extensively tried and debugged are the following:
I have attempted profusely at both, but with no luck whatsoever and I am keen to understand where I am going wrong and what I have been missing.
Approach 1
My Entity:
@Entity
@TypeDef(name = "JsonUserType", typeClass = JsonUserType::class)
@Table(name = "entity")
data class MyEntity(
@Column(nullable = false)
val id: UUID,
@Column(nullable = false)
@Enumerated(value = EnumType.STRING)
@Column(nullable = false)
val type: Type,
@Type(type = "JsonUserType")
@Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
var event_data: Event
) : SomeEntity<UUID>(), SomeOtherStuff {
override fun getName(): String {
return id
}
}
enum class Type(val value: String) {
TYPE1("Type1"),
TYPE2("Type2")
}
My PoJO:
data class Event(
val someContent: String,
val someBoolean: Boolean
) : Serializable { //equals, hashcode etc are omitted }
My Custom Hibernate dialect:
class CustomPostgreSQLDialect : PostgreSQL95Dialect {
constructor() : super() {
this.registerColumnType(Types.JAVA_OBJECT, "jsonb")
}
}
My custom type (abstract class)
abstract class JsonDataUserType : UserType {
override fun sqlTypes(): IntArray? {
return intArrayOf(Types.JAVA_OBJECT)
}
override fun equals(value1: Any?, value2: Any?): Boolean {
return value1 == value2
}
override fun hashCode(value1: Any?): Int {
return value1!!.hashCode()
}
override fun assemble(value1: Serializable?, value2: Any?): Any {
return deepCopy(value1)
}
override fun disassemble(value1: Any?): Serializable {
return deepCopy(value1) as Serializable
}
override fun deepCopy(p0: Any?): Any {
return try {
val bos = ByteArrayOutputStream()
val oos = ObjectOutputStream(bos)
oos.writeObject(p0)
oos.flush()
oos.close()
bos.close()
val bais = ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray())
ObjectInputStream(bais).readObject()
} catch (ex: ClassNotFoundException) {
throw HibernateException(ex)
} catch (ex: IOException) {
throw HibernateException(ex)
}
}
override fun replace(p0: Any?, p1: Any?, p2: Any?): Any {
return deepCopy(p0)
}
override fun nullSafeSet(p0: PreparedStatement?, p1: Any?, p2: Int, p3: SharedSessionContractImplementor?) {
if (p1 == null) {
p0?.setNull(p2, Types.OTHER)
return
}
try {
val mapper = ObjectMapper()
val w = StringWriter()
mapper.writeValue(w, p1)
w.flush()
p0?.setObject(p2, w.toString(), Types.OTHER)
} catch (ex: java.lang.Exception) {
throw RuntimeException("Failed to convert Jsonb to String: " + ex.message, ex)
}
}
override fun nullSafeGet(p0: ResultSet?, p1: Array<out String>?, p2: SharedSessionContractImplementor?, p3: Any?): Any {
val cellContent = p0?.getString(p1?.get(0))
return try {
val mapper = ObjectMapper()
mapper.readValue(cellContent?.toByteArray(charset("UTF-8")), returnedClass())
} catch (ex: Exception) {
throw RuntimeException("Failed to convert String to Jsonb: " + ex.message, ex)
}
}
override fun isMutable(): Boolean {
return true
}
}
Such class was taken from this Stackoverflow question
My concrete class:
class JsonType : JsonDataUserType() {
override fun returnedClass(): Class<Event> {
return Event::class.java
}
}
My application.yml jpa hibernate properties
jpa.properties.database.database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL95Dialect
jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect: org.myapp.util.CustomPostgreSQLDialect
Approach 2
Hibernate properties are exactly the same as well as the PoJo class, no custom mapper is included.
Entity
@Entity
@TypeDef(
name = "jsonb",
typeClass = JsonBinaryType::class
)
@Table(name = "entity")
data class MyEntity(
@Column(nullable = false)
val id: UUID,
@Column(nullable = false)
@Enumerated(value = EnumType.STRING)
@Column(nullable = false)
val type: Type,
@Type(type = "jsonb")
@Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
var event_data: Event
) : SomeEntity<UUID>(), SomeOtherStuff {
override fun getName(): String {
return id
}
}
enum class Type(val value: String) {
TYPE1("Type1"),
TYPE2("Type2")
}
Custom Dialect (using hibernate types):
class CustomPostgreSQLDialect : PostgreSQL95Dialect {
constructor() : super() {
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonNodeBinaryType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonStringType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonBinaryType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonNodeBinaryType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonNodeStringType::class.java.name)
}
}
Please note that I also tried using only:
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, "jsonb")
as well as having all this in my entity or the base entity it extended from (no change for that matter):
@TypeDefs({
@TypeDef(name = "string-array", typeClass = StringArrayType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "int-array", typeClass = IntArrayType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "json", typeClass = JsonStringType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "jsonb-node", typeClass = JsonNodeBinaryType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "json-node", typeClass = JsonNodeStringType.class),
})
Is there anything evidently wrong I am doing in both approaches? I cannot get it working and, not sure if in any way relevant, the numerical value after No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: is always different. I am adding this as I have seen some ids being relevant for certain categories of errors.
Can you help?
Thank you
EDIT: I wanted to provide more info regarding jpa, postgres and hibernate versions. I am currently working with the following:
postgres:10-alpine
PostgreSQL JDBC Driver JDBC 4.2 » 42.2.8
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:2.2.1.RELEASE
org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.4.8.Final
Is there any particular versioning issues among them?
EDIT 2 I have been trying to successfully use hibernate-types (Approach 2 as explained above). I have made the following change according to the Postgres version (10):
class CustomPostgreSQLDialect : PostgreSQL10Dialect {
constructor() : super() {
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, StringArrayType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, IntArrayType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonStringType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonBinaryType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonNodeBinaryType::class.java.name)
this.registerHibernateType(Types.OTHER, JsonNodeStringType::class.java.name)
}
}
Then in my entity I have
@TypeDefs({
@TypeDef(name = "string-array", typeClass = StringArrayType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "int-array", typeClass = IntArrayType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "json", typeClass = JsonStringType.class),
@TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType.class)
})
and
@Type(type = "jsonb")
@Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
var event_data: Event
I have then debugged the get method in TypeNames where the error is coming from:
public String get(final int typeCode) throws MappingException {
final Integer integer = Integer.valueOf( typeCode );
final String result = defaults.get( integer );
if ( result == null ) {
throw new MappingException( "No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: " + typeCode );
}
return result;
}
and this is what I am getting:
defaults = {HashMap@12093} size = 27
{Integer@12124} -1 -> "text"
{Integer@12126} 1 -> "char(1)"
{Integer@12128} -2 -> "bytea"
{Integer@12130} 2 -> "numeric($p, $s)"
{Integer@12132} -3 -> "bytea"
{Integer@12133} -4 -> "bytea"
{Integer@12134} 4 -> "int4"
{Integer@12136} -5 -> "int8"
{Integer@12138} -6 -> "int2"
{Integer@12140} 5 -> "int2"
{Integer@12141} -7 -> "bool"
{Integer@12143} 6 -> "float4"
{Integer@12145} 7 -> "real"
{Integer@12147} 8 -> "float8"
{Integer@12149} -9 -> "nvarchar($l)"
{Integer@12151} 12 -> "varchar($l)"
{Integer@12153} -15 -> "nchar($l)"
{Integer@12155} -16 -> "nvarchar($l)"
{Integer@12156} 16 -> "boolean"
{Integer@12158} 2000 -> "json"
{Integer@12160} 2004 -> "oid"
{Integer@12162} 2005 -> "text"
{Integer@12163} 1111 -> "uuid"
{Integer@12165} 91 -> "date"
{Integer@12167} 2011 -> "nclob"
{Integer@12169} 92 -> "time"
{Integer@12171} 93 -> "timestamp"
No jsonb can be found and when I debug my custom dialect, I am getting the following:
{Integer@10846} 1111 -> "com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonStringType"
key = {Integer@10846} 1111
value = "com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonStringType"
Why is that? Why am I not getting the jsonb type?
I propose my solution in a pull-request
The idea is to change Entity to:
import com.example.demo.pojo.SamplePojo
import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonBinaryType
import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonStringType
import org.hibernate.annotations.Type
import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDef
import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDefs
import javax.persistence.*
@Entity
@Table(name = "tests")
@TypeDefs(
TypeDef(name = "json", typeClass = JsonStringType::class),
TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType::class)
)
data class SampleEntity (
@Id @GeneratedValue
val id: Long?,
val name: String?,
@Type(type = "jsonb")
@Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
var data: Map<String, Any>?
) {
/**
* Dependently on use-case this can be done differently:
* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37873995/how-to-create-empty-constructor-for-data-class-in-kotlin-android
*/
constructor(): this(null, null, null)
}
Map<String, Any> typeSince we have a full-control what will be in POJO in business logic the only missing piece will be to convert POJO to Map and Map to POJO
SamplePojo implementation
data class SamplePojo(
val payload: String,
val flag: Boolean
) {
constructor(map: Map<String, Any>) : this(map["payload"] as String, map["flag"] as Boolean)
fun toMap() : Map<String, Any> {
return mapOf("payload" to payload, "flag" to flag)
}
}
This is rather a workaround but it allows us to work with any depth-level structures.
P.S. I noticed that you use Serializer and redefined equals, toString, hashCode. You don't need this if using data class.
UPDATE:
If you need a more flexible structure than Map<String, Any>, you can use JsonNode. Code example
Entity:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode
import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonBinaryType
import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonStringType
import org.hibernate.annotations.Type
import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDef
import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDefs
import javax.persistence.*
@Entity
@Table(name = "tests")
@TypeDefs(
TypeDef(name = "json", typeClass = JsonStringType::class),
TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType::class)
)
data class SampleJsonNodeEntity (
@Id @GeneratedValue
val id: Long?,
val name: String?,
@Type(type = "jsonb")
@Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
var data: JsonNode?
) {
/**
* Dependently on use-case this can be done differently:
* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37873995/how-to-create-empty-constructor-for-data-class-in-kotlin-android
*/
constructor(): this(null, null, null)
}
Change Entity in Repository:
import com.example.demo.entity.SampleJsonNodeEntity
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository
interface SampleJsonNodeRepository: JpaRepository<SampleJsonNodeEntity, Long> {
}

import com.example.demo.DbTestInitializer
