Java – Spring Data JPA’s @PersistenceConstructor annotations are used with Hiberne?

I

want Hibernate to use another constructor instead of an empty constructor, because I have some logic that should be executed at object creation time but depends on object properties. I read here @PersistenceConstructor solved this problem.

I created this example entity:

@Entity
public class TestEntity
{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @JsonIgnore
    public final Long id;

public final int width;

public final int height;

@Transient
    private final double area;

@PersistenceConstructor
    public TestEntity(Long id, int width, int height)
    {
        this.id = id;
        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
        this.area = width * height;
    }

public double getArea()
    {
        return this.area;
    }

public interface TestEntityRepository extends CrudRepository<TestEntity, Long>
    {
    }
}

However, when I try to retrieve the instance from the database, I get the following exception:

org.hibernate.InstantiationException: No default constructor for entity

Did I do something wrong or did @PersistenceConstructor comments not work in this case?

Spring Data @PersistenceConstructor does not apply to JPA. It only applies to modules that do not use object mapping for the underlying data store.
