How to get ‘now time’ from database using CrudRepository?

I have this example of entity:

@Entity
public class User {

    private String name;
    private Date creationDate;

    public User(String name) {
        this.name = name;
        this.creationDate= Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
    }

}

and this example of repo:

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<User> {

    public User findByName(String name);

}

But when I need to do:

User user = new User();

I cant get creationDate anymore from:

Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

Because some people are changing the time from OS, and the time of the creation are being persisted wrong. so I need some:

SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SELECT now();

To set the creationDate from user.

Do I need a new repo to get the time, or I can use this UserRepository to get the creationDate from database?? I’ve tried create a UtilsRepository, where I might get the date from database:

public interface UtilsRepository extends JpaRepository<Date, String> {

    @Modifying
    @Transactional(readOnly = false)
    @Query("select now()")
    public Date getDataBaseDate();

}

But it isnt working. I’m getting this error, and I think that is not the best way to do that.

Answer

I solved this point doing that in the UserReposistory:

@Transactional(readOnly = false)
@Query("select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP from User")
public Date getCurrentTime();
