The following sections show how to map java.util.Calendar to database date type.

@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
private java.util.Calendar dob;

Example

The following code is from Person.java.

package com.java2s.common;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;

@Entity
public class Person {
    @Id
    private long id;
     
    private String name;
    
  @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
  private java.util.Calendar dob;
    
  public Person() {}

  public Person(String name) {
     this.name = name;
  }


  public java.util.Calendar getDob() {
    return dob;
  }

  public void setDob(java.util.Calendar dob) {
    this.dob = dob;
  }

  public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

  public String toString() {
    return "\n\nID:" + id + "\nName:" + name + "\n\n"+"Dob"+dob;
  }
}

The following code is from PersonDaoImpl.java.

package com.java2s.common;


import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;

import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

@Transactional
public class PersonDaoImpl {
  public void test(){
    Person p1 = new Person("Tom");
    p1.setId(1L);
    p1.setDob(Calendar.getInstance());
    
    Person p2 = new Person("Jack");
    p2.setId(2L);
    
    save(p1);
    save(p2);

    listAll();
    
  }
  private void listAll(){
    List<Person> persons = getAll();
    for (Person person : persons) {
      System.out.println(person);
    }

  }
    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;
    
    
    public Long save(Person person) {
        em.persist(person);
        return person.getId();
    }
    
    public List<Person>getAll() {
        return em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p", Person.class).getResultList();
    }
    
}

The following code is from App.java.

package com.java2s.common;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class App {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
        "applicationContext.xml");
    PersonDaoImpl dao = (PersonDaoImpl) context.getBean("personDao");

    dao.test();

    context.close();
    
    Helper.checkData();
  }
}

The following is the database table dump.

Table Name: PERSON
 Row:
    Column Name: ID,
    Column Type: BIGINT:
    Column Value: 1

    Column Name: DOB,
    Column Type: DATE:
    Column Value: 2014-12-29

    Column Name: NAME,
    Column Type: VARCHAR:
    Column Value: Tom

 Row:
    Column Name: ID,
    Column Type: BIGINT:
    Column Value: 2

    Column Name: DOB,
    Column Type: DATE:
    Column Value: null

    Column Name: NAME,
    Column Type: VARCHAR:
    Column Value: Jack
