First Hibernate CRUD Practical Example
Hibernate Practical Example
An example of using Hibernate to provide Java persistence in
a standalone application. We will go through different steps involved in
creating Java Application using Hibernate technology.
The first step in creating
an application is to build the Java POJO class or classes, depending on the
application that will be persisted to the database. Let us consider our Employee class
with getXXX and setXXX methods to make it
JavaBeans compliant class.
A POJO (Plain Old Java
Object) is a Java object that doesn't extend or implement some specialized
classes and interfaces respectively required by the EJB framework. All normal
Java objects are POJO.
When you design a class to
be persisted by Hibernate, it's important to provide JavaBeans compliant code
as well as one attribute which would work as index like id attribute
in the Employee class.
Employee.java
package com.smgc;
public class Employee {
private int id;
private String
firstName;
private String
lastName;
private int salary;
public
Employee() {
}
public Employee(String
fname,
String lname, int salary) {
this.firstName = fname;
this.lastName = lname;
this.salary = salary;
}
// generate getters and setters
}
Create
Database Tables:
Second step
would be creating tables in your database. There would be one table
corresponding to each object you are willing to provide persistence. Consider
above objects need to be stored and retrieved into the following RDBMS table:
Here I take
database: test and table: emp
create table emp (
id
INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
first_name VARCHAR(20) default NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(20) default NULL,
salary INT default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
Create
Mapping Configuration File:
This step
is to create a mapping file that instructs Hibernate how to map the defined
class or classes to the database tables. You should save the mapping document
in a file with the format <classname>.hbm.xml. We saved our mapping
document in the file Employee.hbm.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping package="com.smgc">
<class name="Employee" table="emp">
<meta attribute="class-description">
This
class contains the employee detail.
</meta>
<id name="id" type="int"
column="id">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<property name="firstName" column="first_name"
type="string" />
<property name="lastName" column="last_name"
type="string" />
<property name="salary" column="salary"
type="int" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
Let us see
little detail about the mapping document:
·
The mapping document
is an XML document having <hibernate-mapping> as the root element which
contains all the <class> elements.
·
The <class> elements are used to define specific
mappings from a Java classes to the database tables. The Java class name is
specified using the name attribute of the class element and the
database table name is specified using the table attribute.
·
The <meta> element is optional element and can be
used to create the class description.
·
The <id> element maps the unique ID attribute
in class to the primary key of the database table. The name attribute of the id element refers to
the property in the class and the column attribute refers to the column in the
database table. The type attribute holds the hibernate mapping
type, this mapping types will convert from Java to SQL data type.
·
The <generator> element within the id element is used
to automatically generate the primary key values. Set the class attribute of the generator element is
set to native to let hibernate pick up eitheridentity,
sequence or hilo algorithm to create primary key
depending upon the capabilities of the underlying database.
·
The <property> element is used to map a Java class
property to a column in the database table. The name attribute of the element refers to the
property in the class and the column attribute refers to the column in the
database table. The type attribute holds the hibernate mapping
type, this mapping types will convert from Java to SQL data type.
Create
Application Class:
Finally, we
will create our application class with the main() method to run the
application. We will use this application to save few Employee's records and
then we will apply CRUD operations on those records.
ManageEmployee.java
package
com.smgc;
import
java.util.Iterator;
import
java.util.List;
import
org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import
org.hibernate.Session;
import
org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import
org.hibernate.Transaction;
import
org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class ManageEmployee {
private static
SessionFactory factory;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
factory = new
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex);
throw new
ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
ManageEmployee
ME = new ManageEmployee();
/* Add few employee records in database */
Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Amit", "Patel", 1000);
Integer empID2 = ME.addEmployee("Denis", "Das", 5000);
Integer empID3 = ME.addEmployee("Jenti", "Shah", 10000);
/* List down all the employees */
ME.listEmployees();
/* Update employee's records */
ME.updateEmployee(empID1, 5000);
/* Delete an employee from the database */
ME.deleteEmployee(empID2);
/* List down new list of the employees */
ME.listEmployees();
}
/* Method to CREATE an employee in the database */
public
Integer addEmployee(String fname, String lname, int salary) {
Session session = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx = null;
Integer employeeID = null;
try {
tx = session.beginTransaction();
Employee
employee = new Employee(fname, lname, salary);
employeeID =
(Integer) session.save(employee);
tx.commit();
} catch
(HibernateException e) {
if (tx != null)
tx.rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
session.close();
}
return employeeID;
}
/* Method to READ all the employees */
public void listEmployees() {
Session session = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx = null;
try {
tx = session.beginTransaction();
List
employees = session.createQuery("FROM Employee").list();
System.out.println("Employee Details");
System.out.println("First Name
Last name Salary");
System.out.println("-------------------------");
for (Iterator iterator = employees.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
Employee
employee =
(Employee) iterator.next();
System.out.print(employee.getFirstName());
System.out.print("\t" + employee.getLastName());
System.out.println("\t" + employee.getSalary());
}
tx.commit();
} catch
(HibernateException e) {
if (tx != null)
tx.rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
session.close();
}
}
/* Method to UPDATE salary for an employee */
public void
updateEmployee(Integer EmployeeID, int salary) {
Session session = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx = null;
try {
tx = session.beginTransaction();
Employee
employee =
(Employee) session.get(Employee.class,
EmployeeID);
employee.setSalary(salary);
session.update(employee);
tx.commit();
} catch
(HibernateException e) {
if (tx != null)
tx.rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
session.close();
}
}
/* Method to DELETE an employee from the records */
public void
deleteEmployee(Integer EmployeeID) {
Session session = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx = null;
try {
tx = session.beginTransaction();
Employee
employee =
(Employee) session.get(Employee.class,
EmployeeID);
session.delete(employee);
tx.commit();
} catch
(HibernateException e) {
if (tx != null)
tx.rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
session.close();
}
}
}
