我认为在Java代码中不这样做更整洁，你可以简单地在MySql表定义中设置列的默认值。

谢谢所有帮助过我的人。在我自己做了一些研究之后(我是问这个问题的人)，以下是我发现最有意义的:

Database column type: the timezone-agnostic number of milliseconds since 1970 represented as decimal(20) because 2^64 has 20 digits and disk space is cheap; let's be straightforward. Also, I will use neither DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, nor triggers. I want no magic in the DB. Java field type: long. The Unix timestamp is well supported across various libs, long has no Y2038 problems, timestamp arithmetic is fast and easy (mainly operator < and operator +, assuming no days/months/years are involved in the calculations). And, most importantly, both primitive longs and java.lang.Longs are immutable—effectively passed by value—unlike java.util.Dates; I'd be really pissed off to find something like foo.getLastUpdate().setTime(System.currentTimeMillis()) when debugging somebody else's code. The ORM framework should be responsible for filling in the data automatically. I haven't tested this yet, but only looking at the docs I assume that @Temporal will do the job; not sure about whether I might use @Version for this purpose. @PrePersist and @PreUpdate are good alternatives to control that manually. Adding that to the layer supertype (common base class) for all entities, is a cute idea provided that you really want timestamping for all of your entities.

我们也遇到过类似的情况。我们使用的是Mysql 5.7。

CREATE TABLE my_table (
        ...
      updated_time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
    );

这对我们很管用。

利用本文中的资源以及来自不同来源的左右信息，我提出了这个优雅的解决方案，创建以下抽象类

import java.util.Date;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass;
import javax.persistence.PrePersist;
import javax.persistence.PreUpdate;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class AbstractTimestampEntity {

    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "created", nullable = false)
    private Date created;

    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "updated", nullable = false)
    private Date updated;

    @PrePersist
    protected void onCreate() {
    updated = created = new Date();
    }

    @PreUpdate
    protected void onUpdate() {
    updated = new Date();
    }
}

并让你的所有实体扩展它，例如:

@Entity
@Table(name = "campaign")
public class Campaign extends AbstractTimestampEntity implements Serializable {
...
}

您可以考虑将时间存储为DateTime，并且使用UTC。我通常使用DateTime而不是Timestamp，因为MySql在存储和检索数据时将日期转换为UTC和本地时间。我宁愿把所有这些逻辑都放在一个地方(业务层)。我相信在其他情况下使用时间戳更可取。

如果你正在使用JPA注释，你可以使用@PrePersist和@PreUpdate事件钩子来做到这一点:

@Entity
@Table(name = "entities")    
public class Entity {
  ...

  private Date created;
  private Date updated;

  @PrePersist
  protected void onCreate() {
    created = new Date();
  }

  @PreUpdate
  protected void onUpdate() {
    updated = new Date();
  }
}

或者您可以在类上使用@EntityListener注释，并将事件代码放在外部类中。
