Hibernate-spatial jpa with myql and Spring boot 1.5.7 not working

Question

I want to use hibernate spatial with mysql and spring boot. I tried but failing. application.properties file given below

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tour_management
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=admin
endpoints.actuator.enabled=true
endpoints.info.enabled=true

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = 
org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQLSpatial5InnoDBDialect
spring.jpa.database-platform = 
org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQLSpatial5InnoDBDialect



@Data
@Entity(name = "Place")
public class PlaceEntity extends BaseEntity {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
@Column(name = "ID")
private long id;
@Column(name = "NAME")
private String name;
@Column(name = "CODE")
private String code;
@Column(name = "LONGITUDE")
private Double longitude;
@Column(name = "LATITUDE")
private Double latitude;

@Column(name = "LOCATION",columnDefinition = "geometry(Point,4326)")
private Point location;
}

But I am getting Exception when deploy

buildscript {
ext {
    springBootVersion = '1.5.7.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url "http://www.hibernatespatial.org/repository"

}

Caused by: org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.spi.StrategySelectionException: Unable to resolve name [org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQLSpatial5InnoDBDialect] as strategy [org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect] at org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.internal.StrategySelectorImpl.selectStrategyImplementor(StrategySelectorImpl.java:113) ~[hibernate-core-5.0.12.Final.jar:5.0.12.Final]

Is there any version related problem????

Answer 1

If we match your exception at runtime :

Caused by: org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.spi.StrategySelectionException: Unable to resolve name [org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQLSpatial5InnoDBDialect] as strategy [org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect] at org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.internal.StrategySelectorImpl.selectStrategyImplementor(StrategySelectorImpl.java:113) ~[hibernate-core-5.0.12.Final.jar:5.0.12.Final]

with the source code of StrategySelectorImpl :

@Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> Class<? extends T> selectStrategyImplementor(Class<T> strategy, String name) {
        final Map<String,Class> namedStrategyImplementorMap = namedStrategyImplementorByStrategyMap.get( strategy );
        if ( namedStrategyImplementorMap != null ) {
            final Class registered = namedStrategyImplementorMap.get( name );
            if ( registered != null ) {
                return (Class<T>) registered;
            }
        }

        try {
            return classLoaderService.classForName( name );
        }
        catch (ClassLoadingException e) {
            throw new StrategySelectionException(
                    "Unable to resolve name [" + name + "] as strategy [" + strategy.getName() + "]"
            );
        }
    }

We understand that org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQLSpatial5InnoDBDialect class is not loadable by the classloader. It is probably not in the classpath.

I suppose you should add the hibernate spatial dependency that matches with your Hibernate version.
