hibernate sample application with example

Hibernate is ORM(Object Relational Mapping) framework for mapping java object with database table. A brief description about Configuration, SessionFactory, Session, Query, Criteria, Transaction and follow the same for sample application creation using hibernate.

Configuration: Configuration is that the initial object you wish to make any of hibernate application and typically making one time throughout the applying initialization. It represents the configuration or properties file providing by hibernate.

SessionFactory: Configuration object is employed to make SessionFactory instance that intern configures hibernate for the applying. SessionFactory object is significant weight part, it's created throughout application start up time and unbroken for later use. The way to do this we are going to see in below application. We would like one SessionFactory object per info employing a separate configuration. Therefore if you victimization multiple databases then you'd ought to multiple SessionFactory objects.

Session: A session is employed to physically connect with table. A session object is lightweight and designed to be instantiated whenever interaction is required with table's. A session object mustn't unbroken open longer as a result of they're not sometimes thread safe and that they ought to be created and destroyed is needed.

Transaction: Transaction represents unit of labor with the table and most of the RDBMS supports dealings practicality. This can be associate degree elective object and hibernate applications might not to use this interface.

Query: Query object use for SQL or Hibernate search language (HQL) string to retrieve information from the database and make object.

Criteria: Criteria objects are create and execute Object Oriented criteria queries to retrieve object.

How to create sample hibernate application?
        First, we need to create “Dynamic Web Project” by using any of the IDE’s. Then we need to add libraries (Net Beans), add external Jar (Eclipse) files based on the requirement. Now, I am doing hibernate simple application, I need to add hibernate jars for project class path.
How to add external jar’s for a project?
        This is very easy to add jar files to a project. Follow these steps, Right Click on project source folder --> select ‘properties’ --> choose ‘Java Build Path’ --> go into ‘libraries’  --> there you click on ‘Add External Jar’s’ --> choose your jar file’s in your local directory --> click on ‘Ok’ --> ’Ok’.
        In NetBeans is very easy to add libraries into a project. Follow these steps. Right click on project source folderàselect ‘libraries’ --> in that libraries choose required hibernate library. Also, add JDBC connection library in that libraries. Because, for connecting to database, that library is required. Once your adding jar/libraries into project libraries go into your created project and try to create source code.

        In hibernate we can interact java object with database table by using two ways. One is using hibernate mapping files and another one is using annotations.

        Here, I am going to explain a simple user login example by using hibernate mapping file. For that fist we need to create database table with related column's. Below query will be helpful for creating a data table with id, username and password columns in MySQL database.

Table:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8

execute the below query for creating a database

CREATE database hibernatex;

execute the below command to use your newly creating database or existing database.

USE hibernatex;

execute the below query for creating the USER table with id, username and password fields.

CREATE table USER(
id integer(7) primary key not null,
username varchar(30),
password varchar(30)
);

        Here, I am creating a bean/POJO (Plain Old Java Object) class of employee with the properties which are matching to user table columns.

User.java:

package com.javatbrains.hibernate;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class User implements Serializable {
    
     private int id;
     private String userName;
     private String password;

     public int getId() {
          return id;
     }

     public void setId(int id) {
          this.id = id;
     }

     public String getUserName() {
          return userName;
     }

     public void setUserName(String userName) {
          this.userName = userName;
     }

     public String getPassword() {
          return password;
     }

     public void setPassword(String password) {
          this.password = password;
     }

}

        In User.java class contains id, userName, password of user and setters and getters methods of these properties. The User class should be implemented with  Serializable.

              <column name="PASSWORD" />
          </property>
     </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

        The above file shows you how the mapping file contains. User.hbm.xml file contains the mapping of User java class with USER table by using <class> hibernate tag which is present under  <hibernate-mapping> tag.
         <class> tag contains the <property>  tag for mapping the java class properties with table columns. <id> tag is the mandatory in the hibernate application.                                                         

Note: if you can’t specify the <column> tag, java class property name automatically taken by database table column name.

        Here, is the hibernate configuration file which is configured with the database, by declaring the property values are the database connection values.

              package="com.javatbrains.hibernate.User" />
     </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

        In the above configuration file contains the database properties of driver, connection url, username, 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 vendor relesed dialect.

        Finally, I have mapped the user.hbm.xml file in hibernate.cfg.xml with package by using the <mapping> tag.

}
  • In the above ‘UserTest’ class, I am trying to insert User class object values into database 'USER' table. Here, you can see below steps to understand 'UserTest' class.
  • Create 'User' object and set those values.
  • Create SessionFactory instance by using buildSessionFactory()  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.

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 ...

How to sort list of objects in java with examples

We could achieve list of objects sorting in java by using sort() method which is available under Collections class as well as by using Comparable and Comparator  interfaces. Comparable and Comparator are two interfaces in java used to sort list of objects. These interfaces are available under java.util package along with Collections  class and other classes and interfaces. Comparable interface contains the method of       public int compareTo(Object obj) Comparator interface contains the method of       public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) The compare() and compareTo() methods will return negative integer(-1), or zero(0) or positive integer(1). When the first obj1 is less than obj2 method will return negative integer. When obj1 is equals to obj2 will return zero and when obj1 is grater than obj2 it will return positive integer. If it's objects are stored in any Collection classes like ArrayList, H...

Store file into table by using JDBC with example

To store large data files or text files into database table, we will use CLOB (Charecter Large Object) datatype of SQL . By using CLOB it is possible to save entire text book or a file or resume into a column of data table. If your using MySQL database instead of CLOB use LONGTEXT to save file into datatable. For saving files into a data table, we need to create one table which will contains a column type as CLOB to store files. Here, is the query to create a data table. 1 2 3 4 create table myfiles( file_id int ( 10 ), file_name varchar ( 30 ), file_type LONGTEXT); Once table creation completes, these table contains the 3 columns one is file_id represents the file id, file_name represents the name of the file and finally file_type will get save entire file into the table column. Now, we will move to write a JDBC program which will saves the file into the newly creating table. Here is the JDBC program, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16...
