Spring & Hibernate, Found bit, expected TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0

Question

In database: there is a field whos type is TINYINT(1) and default value is 0. And in Model it is defined as TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0. However it gives error such as below:

Error

[jar:file:/C:/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/NetaCommerceFrameworkAdmin/WEB-INF/lib/NetaCommerceFramework-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar!/com/netasoft/commerce/framework/lang/dao/LangDaoImpl.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type

Found: bit, expected: TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0

Model definition

@Column(name="alerted", columnDefinition = "TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0")
private int alerted;

public int getAlerted() {
    return alerted;
}

public void setAlerted(int alerted) {
    this.alerted = alerted;
}

it is running on server and another computer, too. However in my computer and new computer which is installed just to try it gives same error. I am searching for days on google, couldnt figure out what caueses the issue. Tried boolean columnDefinition in model and change MySqlDialect definition however nothing change. Even error message is same.

Answer 1

Use BIT as columnDefinition

This worked for me:

@Column(name = "my_field",columnDefinition = "BIT")
private int myField;
