Spring Roo Date Field with Current Timestamp

Question

Most databases allow to have field with current timestamp (act as creation timestamp), for example in MySQL:

CREATE TABLE t (ts TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTA         


        

Answer 1

This can be done as suggested by Simon, but it might be worth checking out a fuller solution.

Check out this Spring Roo Timestamp add-on. It adds 'created' and 'updated' timestamps to all entities marked with its annotation. https://github.com/rcaloras/spring-roo-addon-timestamp

(I created it, happy to answer questions or add additional features)
