Spring data JPA and Geometry type - spring-boot

Question

I am developing an application that will run on both MySql and MS SQL.
I have a field that is "geometry" type for spatial.
By using:
#Column(columnDefinition = "geometry")
private Point geometry;
(point is org.springframework.data.geo.Point)
Hibernate creates the field properly (hbm2ddl).
But inserting any point does not work.
I get : Data truncation: Cannot get geometry object from data you send to the GEOMETRY field
I use spring-boot-jpa-starter.. and not direct hibernate.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
<version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Hello I have successfully mapped a point in JPA. Here's what I did:
I have this on Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vividsolutions</groupId>
<artifactId>jts</artifactId>
<version>1.13</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
<version>5.2.5.Final</version>
</dependency>
I have this on my entity:
#Column(name = "locationpoint", columnDefinition = "POINT")
private Point locationpoint;
I have this on my application.properties:
# needed for Location domain class
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.mysql.MySQL56InnoDBSpatialDialect
I can get the value using this:
locationRepository.findOne((long) 1).getLocationpoint().getX();
locationRepository.findOne((long) 1).getLocationpoint().getY();
I based my solution from here Matti Tahvonen's example:

Hope this helps.
