I have this Hibernate model

package net.nebulacraft.nebulous.Data.Models;

import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.util.UUID;

@Entity
@Table(name = "warning")
public class Warning {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "warningid")
    int WarningId;
    @Column(name = "userid")
    UUID Player;
    @Column(name = "rulenumber")
    int RuleNumber;
    @Column(name = "expiration")
    LocalDateTime Expiration;
    @Column(name = "datecreated")
    LocalDateTime DateCreated;
    @Column(name = "warnedby")
    UUID WarnedBy;
    @Column(name = "message")
    String Message;
    public UUID getPlayer() {
        return Player;
    }
    public void setPlayer(UUID player) {
        Player = player;
    }
    public int getRuleNumber() {
        return RuleNumber;
    }
    public void setRuleNumber(int ruleNumber) {
        RuleNumber = ruleNumber;
    }
    public LocalDateTime getExpiration() {
        return Expiration;
    }
    public void setExpiration(LocalDateTime expiration) {
        Expiration = expiration;
    }
    public LocalDateTime getDateCreated() {
        return DateCreated;
    }
    public void setDateCreated(LocalDateTime dateCreated) {
        DateCreated = dateCreated;
    }
    public UUID getWarnedBy() {
        return WarnedBy;
    }
    public void setWarnedBy(UUID warnedBy) {
        WarnedBy = warnedBy;
    }
    public String getMessage() {
        return Message;
    }
    public void setMessage(String message) {
        Message = message;
    }
    public int getWarningId() {
        return WarningId;
    }
    public void setWarningId(int warningId) {
        WarningId = warningId;
    }
}

I can insert a new Warning into the database with session.save(warning); session.getTransaction().commit();, warning being an instance of Warning and session being a hibernate session. However, trying to get an instance of Warning from the database like this

    public static List<Warning> GetWarnings(UUID player) {
        var session = DbFactory.getSessionFactory().openSession();
        var builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
        var query = builder.createQuery(Warning.class);
        var root = query.from(Warning.class);

        query.select(root);
        query.where(
                builder.and(
                        builder.equal(root.get("Player"), player),
                        builder.greaterThan(root.get("Expiration"), new Date())
                )
        );
        query.orderBy(builder.desc(root.get("DateCreated")));
        return session.createQuery(query).getResultList();
    }

results in the following error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.Date cannot be cast to class java.time.LocalDateTime (java.util.Date and java.time.LocalDateTime are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

Hibernate seems to have no problem inserting a LocalDatetime into the database, why can't I get one back from the database?

Both the Expiration and DateCreated columns have data type "timestamp without time zone" in postgre

You said:

Wrong type in database

You are using the wrong data type for your database columns.

The TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE Postgres type purposely lacks any concept of a time zone or offset-from-UTC. So this type cannot be used to represent a moment, cannot be a specific point on the timeline.

When tracking a moment, a specific point on the timeline, always use a column of type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

Wrong type in Java

Likewise, you are using the wrong Java class.

The LocalDateTime class, purposely lacks any concept of a time zone or offset-from-UTC. So this type cannot be used to represent a moment, cannot be a specific point on the timeline.

Instead use OffsetDateTime class to retrieve values from a column of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

OffsetDateTime odt = myResultSet.getObject( … , OffsetDateTime.class ) ;
