Model definition
#Column(name="alerted", columnDefinition = "TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0")
private int alerted;
public int getAlerted() {
return alerted;
}
public void setAlerted(int alerted) {
this.alerted = alerted;
}

it is running on server and another computer, too. However in my computer and new computer which is installed just to try it gives same error. I am searching for days on google, couldnt figure out what caueses the issue. Tried boolean columnDefinition in model and change MySqlDialect definition however nothing change. Even error message is same.

Answer 1

Use BIT as columnDefinition
This worked for me:
#Column(name = "my_field",columnDefinition = "BIT")
private int myField;

Answer 2

You can use tinyInt1isBit=false mysql driver parameter. i.e. jdbc:mysql://localhost?tinyInt1isBit=false
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html
This prevent driver from reporting back tinyint(1) columns as java.sql.Type.BIT
However you may start getting issues with boolean fields if they are represented in the DB as tinyint(1) as well.

Answer 3

Add the #Type annotation to the alerted field as follows:
#org.hibernate.annotations.Type(type="true_false")
#Column(name="alerted", columnDefinition = "TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0")
private int alerted;
