Hibernate auto increment with example

In previous example we learn how to map java object with database table for manually(not using auto increment) assigned all the values. To create primary key auto increment application by using hibernate mapping(hbm.xml) or using annotations continue reading this article. 

We need to create a database and create an employee table by using the below query.

Table:
CREATE table EMPLOYEE(
eid integer(10) primary key not null,
firstname varchar(30),
lastname varchar(30),
designation varchar(30),
salary double(10,2));

Here, we will create a bean/POJO (Plain Old Java Object) class of employee.

Employee.java:
package com.javatbrains.hibernate;

import java.io.Serializable;

/*This is the POJO class. It contains only Getter and Setter methods*/
public class Employee implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = -75885815725314443L;
    
     private int eid;
     private String firstName;
     private String lastName;
     private String designation;
     private double salary;

     public int getEid() {
          return eid;
     }

     public void setEid(int eid) {
          this.eid = eid;
     }

     public String getFirstName() {
          return firstName;
     }

     public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
          this.firstName = firstName;
     }

     public String getLastName() {
          return lastName;
     }

     public void setLastName(String lastName) {
          this.lastName = lastName;
     }

     public String getDesignation() {
          return designation;
     }

     public void setDesignation(String designation) {
          this.designation = designation;
     }

     public double getSalary() {
          return salary;
     }

     public void setSalary(double salary) {
          this.salary = salary;
     }

}

          In Employee.java class contains eid, firstName, lastName, designation, salary of employee and setters and getter's of those properties. Here, emp is the auto increment, you no need to set the value explicitly.

employee.hbm.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
     <class name="com.ora.hibernate.examples.Employee" table="EMPLOYEE">
          <id name="eid" type="int">
              <column name="EID" />
              <generator class="increment" />
          </id>
          <property name="firstName" type="java.lang.String">
              <column name="FIRSTNAME" />
          </property>
          <property name="lastName" type="java.lang.String">
              <column name="LASTNAME" />
          </property>
          <property name="designation" type="java.lang.String">
              <column name="DESIGNATION" />
          </property>
          <property name="salary" type="double">
              <column name="SALARY" />
          </property>
     </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

          The above Employee java class mapping into database table ‘EMPLOYEE’ by using <class> tag in hibernate mapping file. In that file class properties are mapping into database table columns by using <property> and <class> tags. Here, <class> tag is not necessary, it is an optional tag.

Note: if you can’t specify the <column> tag, java class property name automatically taken by database table column name.
Now, I am trying to create hibernate configuration file.

hibernate.cfg.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
     <session-factory>
          <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"> com.mysql.jdbc.Driver </property>
          <property name="hibernate.connection.url"> jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernatex </property>
          <property name="hibernate.connection.username"> root </property>
          <property name="hibernate.connection.password"> root </property>
          <property name="hibernate.dialect"> org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect </property>
          <mapping resource="com/ora/hibernate/examples/Employee.hbm.xml"
              package="com.ora.hibernate.examples" />
     </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

          In the above configuration file contains the database properties of driver, connection url, user name, password, dialect. Here, dialect is the vendor specific one, there I am using MySQL Dialect. If your using any other databases like, Oracle, postgreSQL. You must specify that particular dialect.

          Finally, there I am mapping the employee.hbm.xml file into hibernate.cfg.xml file by using the <mapping> tag.

EmployeeTest.java:
package com.javatbrains.hibernate;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class EmployeeTest {

     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Employee emp = new Employee();
          emp.setFirstName("Subbareddy");
          emp.setLastName("Nallamachu");
          emp.setDesignation("Software Engineer");
          emp.setSalary(12000.00d);

          SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure()
                   .buildSessionFactory();
          Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
          Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
          session.save(emp);
          transaction.commit();
          session.close();
     }

}

·         In the above ‘EmployeeTest’ class, I am trying to insert Employee java class object values into database 'EMPLOYEE' table. Here, you can see below steps to understand 'EmployeeTest' class.
·         Create 'Employee' object and set those values.
·         Create SessionFactory instance by using configure() method in Configuration class.
·         Open a session instance by using the openSession() providing by SessionFactory interface.
·         Get Transaction instance by using beginTransaction() method providing by Session interface.
·         Use save (Object obj), saveOrUpdate (Object obj) to save Employee object values into database table.
·         Then commit transaction by using commit () method providing by Transaction interface.
·         Finally, close session by using close() method providing by Session interface.

Same example with Hibernate Annotations:

          Now, I am explains how to do the same example by using hibernate annotations. This is simple and easy for programmers to do application with annotations. By using hibernate annotations we are not required to create any of hibernate mapping files in an application. Before going to do changes on old application you must read few annotations and their uses.

@Entity: declares the class as an entity bean.

@Table: is set at the class level. It allows you to define the table, catalogue and schema names for your entity mapping. If @Table is not defined the default values are used. The unqualified class of the entity.

 @ID: declares the identifier property of this entity bean. This represents the primary key column in the table.

@Column: declares column level (properties of the persistence class). This is the optional annotation. This annotation represents the database table column.

@GeneratedValue: is set at the identifier property level. That defined the generatedValue type as AUTO_IDENTITY, SEQUENCE, TABLE. If you declared generatedValue type as AUTO, you no need to enter the value manually for that field. That represents the AUTO_INCREMENT at database table level.

 Now coming to the application, majorly you need to do few changes in old application to convert hbm application to annotation application. In that mainly you need to change persistence (Employee.java) class. In this situation Employee.hbm.xml file is not required. You can change your old Employee.java file as like below,

Employee.java:
package com.javatbrains.hibernate;

import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.hibernate.annotations.Entity;

@Entity
@Table(name = "EMPLOYEE", catalog = "hibernatex")
public class Employee implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = -75885815725314443L;

     @Id
     @GeneratedValue
     @Column(name = "EID")
     private int eid;
     @Column(name = "FIRSTNAME")
     private String firstName;
     @Column(name = "LASTNAME")
     private String lastName;
     @Column(name = "DESIGNATION")
     private String designation;
     @Column(name = "SALARY")
     private double salary;

     public int getEid() {
          return eid;
     }

     public void setEid(int eid) {
          this.eid = eid;
     }

     public String getFirstName() {
          return firstName;
     }

     public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
          this.firstName = firstName;
     }

     public String getLastName() {
          return lastName;
     }

     public void setLastName(String lastName) {
          this.lastName = lastName;
     }

     public String getDesignation() {
          return designation;
     }

     public void setDesignation(String designation) {
          this.designation = designation;
     }

     public double getSalary() {
          return salary;
     }

     public void setSalary(double salary) {
          this.salary = salary;
     }

}

          Once you done by editing the persistence class, Open hibernate.cfg.xml file and remove/comment the old mapping tag. Because your mapping Employee.hbm.xml, but now that is not required. We need to map Employee.java class into mapping file by using mapping tag. As like below,


<mapping class="com.javatbrains.hibernate.Employee"/>












          Once completed to do mapping of persistence class. Then go into EmployeeTest.java class and build Session Factory by using “Annotation Configuration” class. As like below line,










SessionFactory sessionFactory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();












          You have done all the changes, just run it EmployeeTest.java class. You did’t get any exceptions your class executing successfully and your values inserted successfully into database. Open database and check employee table values are inserted are not.

how to count the page views by using JSP





















  To count no.of page's are viewed by user in your application is a challenge in real time application. In this page we will see how to count the page views when user has viewed the page.               Here, we will do one example how many times user has visited each page in our application. In this post we will come to know, how to count the total application page views as well as individually each pages count.               Let us assume my web application name is "Page Counter". For creating the web application in eclipse IDE, Click here . This Page Counter contains three pages, assume that are the different pages in an application. But, there is the link between each other files for navigating from one page to another. Also it will show the total pages view count and individual page view count in all the pages. Let us see, below is my first jsp file,               You can declare the below content inside the < body > tag. Rest of the content in every page will b

Multithreading in java with example





















 Multithreading  is one of the most important concept in core java. In this article we will learn what is multithreading? , what is the use of it? and What is the use of Synchronization and when to use it?  with detailed examples.   At a time, two or more threads are accessing the same object is called as Multithreading  in Java .  First,   we will create two threads for two objects. It is also possible to run two or more threads on a single class object. In this case, there is a possibility to get unreliable results.     If the two threads are perform same task, then they need same object to be executed each time. For your better understanding, take an example of any reservations like, railway, movie ticket booking,etc.      Let us think only one berth is available in a train and two passengers are asking for that berth. The first person has sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him. At the same time, the second person also sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him
