Types of hibernate bean states

As of we know hibernate follows the ORM features, Java bean class maps with database table. While mapping java bean class with database table it traverse through different types of states. That are Transient, Persistent and Detached states. 

Different states of POJO class object:
1. Transient state:
  • Object is created by programmer with data. But is doesn't represent any table row.
  • This object does not contains any primary key value.
  • The object which is created for POJO class and which is not under control of hibernate application resides in transient state.
2. Persistent state:
  • The object that represents table row with primary key and managed under control of hibernate software is called as persistent state.
  • This object will be in synchronization with table row. 
  • Hibernate application developer's uses this kind of object in persistent logic development.
3. Detached state:
  • when session is closed persistent context will be destroyed and all the objects which are in persistent state will be thrown to detached state.
  • when table row of persistent state object is deleted then object becomes detached state.
How the hibernate program is able to perform synchronization between java object and table rows?
Ans: Every POJO class object that is representing table row will contain primary key value which is one of the number variables of the object. Based up on this primary key value synchronization works.

Hibernate software uses this primary key value as a criteria to update row data using select query and object data with row by using update query.

Note: Programmer configures one or more of the member variables of POJO class as primary key field in hibernate mapping file.

What is Primary Key? What are different types of Primary key's are there?

Primary Key: Every record of a table should be identified uniquely. To do this we can configure primary key.

Single field primary key: If only one member variable of POJO class is configured as primary key field then it is called singular field configuration. To configure this we can use <id> tag in mapping file.

Composite primary key: If more than one member variable of POJO class is configured as primary key field then it is called as composite primary key. To configure this we can use <composite-id> tag in mapping file.

How synchronization will work when there is no primary key declared in database table?

If database table primary key is not specified then we can prefer unique key field to configure as a primary key in hibernate mapping file.

I have faced a lot of issues before getting the output like 405, No driver class to load, etc. I am using JSP & Servlets in the current explanation. Before started writing the application logic, we need to do the below configuration in the installed tomcat directory. Place OJDBC6.jar in the Tomcat LIB directory.

Prime, Fibonacci and Factorial number with example in java

Prime number, Fibonacci series and Factorial number programs are most commonly asked questions in interview. Read this article to know what is and how to write programs for prime number, fibonacci series and factorial number. Prime Number: prime number is natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisor other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 is not a prime number, is called Composite number . For example, 7 is a prime number. Because it can divide with 1 and 7 only. Where as 8 is composite number. Since it has the divisor 2 and 4 in addition to the 1 and 8. The below example represents the finding the passing number is prime number or not. If the passing number is prime number it will print true otherwise it will print false. package com . javatbrains . practice ; public class PrimeNumber { public boolean isPrimeNumber ( int number ) { if ( number <= 1 ) return false ; // There's only one ...

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 ...
