hibernate-postgres-jsonb

Hibernate 4.3.x (JPA 2.1) + PostgreSQL 9.4 JSONB support example.

What I've implemented:

Hibernate dialect with JSONB support
Hibernate user-type for JSONB support (with de/serialization from/to JSON, powered by Jackson ObjectMapper)
Static-metamodel & SQL generation
Simple DAO with native JSONB query

Pre-requisites

JDK 7
Maven 3.1.0 or newer

Build and test

PostgreSQL 9.4

Install, configure and start PostgreSQL 9.4 on localhost, with username postgres and password 123qwe. If you change this, you must update src/test/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml accordingly.

sudo su postgres
createdb dbtest

Test

mvn clean test

You should see something like this:
