Se me ocurrió la siguiente solución:
-
Ampliar Hibernate MySQL5Dialect existente:
public class MySQL5Dialect extends org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect { /** * Pattern to extract violated constraint name from {@link SQLException}. */ private static final Pattern PATTERN = Pattern.compile(".*constraint\\W+(\\w+).*", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); private ViolatedConstraintNameExtracter constraintNameExtracter; public MySQL5Dialect() { constraintNameExtracter = new ConstraintNameExtractor(); } @Override public ViolatedConstraintNameExtracter getViolatedConstraintNameExtracter() { return constraintNameExtracter; } private class ConstraintNameExtractor implements ViolatedConstraintNameExtracter { @Override public String extractConstraintName(SQLException sqle) { final String msg = sqle.getMessage(); final Matcher matcher = PATTERN.matcher(msg); String constraintName = null; if (matcher.matches()) { constraintName = matcher.group(1); } return constraintName; } } }
-
Especifique el dialecto recién creado en el archivo de configuración de Hibernate (hibernate.cfg.xml):
<property name="dialect">your.package.MySQL5Dialect</property>
-
Ahora getConstraintName() devolverá el nombre real de la restricción violada:
try { ... } catch (ConstraintViolationException e) { LOG.error(String.format("Constraint=%s, code=%d", e.getConstraintName(), e.getErrorCode())); }
