New and Noteworthy

Hibernate 5.6

We encountered a few bugs as well as performance degradation with Hibernate 6.2. Based on the reports from existing clients and our research, we have standardized on Hibernate 5.6 which supports the jakarta libraries and also provides query stability and better performance. Here are a few migration steps required to support the hibernate change:

  • Annotations for @GenericGenerator needs to be updated to use 'strategy' property. Remove type = IdOverrideTableGenerator.class and replace it with strategy = "org.broadleafcommerce.common.persistence.IdOverrideTableGenerator"
  • For the Lob fields, @JdbcType(LongVarcharJdbcType.class) needs to be replaced with @Type(type = "org.hibernate.type.MaterializedClobType")
  • For Postgres database, dialects needs to be reverted back to org.broadleafcommerce.common.dialect.BroadleafPostgreSQLDialect
  • For Oracle database, supported dialects are org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect and org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect
