Hibernate 4 Example

In this tutorials, we are going to implement a complete CRUD application using Hibernate annotations and MySQL. The same example using xml configuration, we have developed in the previous tutorial – Hibernate CRUD using XML Configuration.

The present tutorial is for Hibernate 4 Example with annotation-based configuration using maven.

Technologies :

  • Hibernate-core 4.0
  • Mysql 5.5.43
  • NetBeans 8.0

Setup Database:

Create Database
mysql> create database onlinetutorialspoint;
 
mysql> use onlinetutorialspoint;

Then create a student table in onlinetutorialspoint database.

Creating Student table
CREATE TABLE `student` (
    `id` INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `name` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `rollnumber` INT(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `gender` TINYINT(4) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `class` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `lastupdated` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Above is the pom.xml, where we can define all required maven dependencies.

Create Hibernate Configuration:

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.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/onlinetutorialspoint?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">XYZ-ABC</property>
    <!--Here we are mapping Pojo class not hbm-->
     <mapping class="com.onlinetutorialspoint.pojo.Student" />
  </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Create Hibernate Utils:

Create HibernateConnector.java, responsible to create singleton session factory object and to connect with the database.

HibernateConnector.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint.config;

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

public class HibernateConnector {

    private static HibernateConnector me;
    private Configuration cfg;
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    private HibernateConnector() throws HibernateException {

        // build the config
        cfg = new Configuration().configure();
        
        sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
    }

    public static synchronized HibernateConnector getInstance() throws HibernateException {
        if (me == null) {
            me = new HibernateConnector();
        }

        return me;
    }

    public Session getSession() throws HibernateException {
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        if (!session.isConnected()) {
            this.reconnect();
        }
        return session;
    }

    private void reconnect() throws HibernateException {
        this.sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
    }
}

Create Pojo class with respect to the student table.

Student.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint.pojo;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import static javax.persistence.GenerationType.IDENTITY;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "student", catalog = "onlinetutorialspoint"
)
public class Student implements java.io.Serializable {

    private Integer id;
    private String name;
    private Integer rollnumber;
    private Byte gender;
    private String class_;

    public Student() {
    }

    public Student(String name, Integer rollnumber, Byte gender, String class_) {
        this.name = name;
        this.rollnumber = rollnumber;
        this.gender = gender;
        this.class_ = class_;
    }

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)

    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public Integer getId() {
        return this.id;
    }

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

    @Column(name = "name", length = 50)
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Column(name = "rollnumber")
    public Integer getRollnumber() {
        return this.rollnumber;
    }

    public void setRollnumber(Integer rollnumber) {
        this.rollnumber = rollnumber;
    }

    @Column(name = "gender")
    public Byte getGender() {
        return this.gender;
    }

    public void setGender(Byte gender) {
        this.gender = gender;
    }

    @Column(name = "class", length = 50)
    public String getClass_() {
        return this.class_;
    }

    public void setClass_(String class_) {
        this.class_ = class_;
    }

}

Points to Note :

@Entity: Is an EJB 3 standard  annotation, used to specify the class is an entity. By using this annotation we are going to tell the hibernate, treat this class as an Entity.

@Table: @Table annotation comes from  javax.persistence, used to specify the primary table to the annotated Entity. We do configure the secondary tables too, by using the @SecondaryTable annotation.

@Id and @GeneratedValue: In hibernate, each entity will have the primary key or keys (composite). We can configure the primary keys by using the @id annotation. The type of the particular primary key will be defined as @GeneratedValue.

@Column: annotation is used to specify the mapped column with persistent property. It represents the table column with entity class field.

Note: No need to create “hbm.xml”, as this is an annotation based example.

Create Data Access Object (DAO)

Create StudentDAO.java to access the Student details.

StudentDAO.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint.dao;
 
import com.onlinetutorialspoint.config.HibernateConnector;
import com.onlinetutorialspoint.pojo.Student;
import java.util.List;
import org.hibernate.Query;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
 
public class StudentDAO {
 
    public List<Student> listStudent() {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateConnector.getInstance().getSession();
            Query query = session.createQuery("from Student s");
 
            List queryList = query.list();
            if (queryList != null && queryList.isEmpty()) {
                return null;
            } else {
                System.out.println("list " + queryList);
                return (List<Student>) queryList;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }
 
    public Student findStudentById(int id) {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateConnector.getInstance().getSession();
            Query query = session.createQuery("from Student s where s.id = :id");
            query.setParameter("id", id);
 
            List queryList = query.list();
            if (queryList != null && queryList.isEmpty()) {
                return null;
            } else {
                return (Student) queryList.get(0);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }
 
    public void updateStudent(Student student) {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateConnector.getInstance().getSession();
            session.saveOrUpdate(student);
            session.flush();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }
 
    public Student addStudent(Student student) {
        Session session = null;
        Transaction transaction = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateConnector.getInstance().getSession();
            System.out.println("session : "+session);
            transaction = session.beginTransaction();
            session.save(student);
            transaction.commit();
            return student;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
 
    public void deleteStudent(int id) {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateConnector.getInstance().getSession();
            Transaction beginTransaction = session.beginTransaction();
            Query createQuery = session.createQuery("delete from Student s where s.id =:id");
            createQuery.setParameter("id", id);
            createQuery.executeUpdate();
            beginTransaction.commit();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }
 
}

Hibernate Client

Create a client class, from which we can access the StudentDAO.java to make CRUD operations.

DbOperations.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint.service;
 
import com.onlinetutorialspoint.dao.StudentDAO;
import com.onlinetutorialspoint.pojo.Student;
import java.util.List;
 
public class DbOperations {
 
    StudentDAO studentDAO = new StudentDAO();
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DbOperations dbOperations = new DbOperations();
        Student createStudent = dbOperations.createStudent();
 
        List<Student> studentList = dbOperations.getStudentList();
        if (studentList != null) {
            for (Student student : studentList) {
                System.out.println("Student Name : " + student.getName());
            }
        }
        dbOperations.updateStudent(createStudent.getId());
        Student student = dbOperations.getStudent(createStudent.getId());
        if (student != null) {
            System.out.println("Student Details After Updation : " + student.getName());
        }
 
        dbOperations.deleteStudent(createStudent.getId());
 
    }
 
    public Student createStudent() {
        Student s = new Student();
        s.setGender(new Byte("1"));
        s.setName("smith");
        s.setClass_("12");
        s.setRollnumber(007);
        studentDAO.addStudent(s);
        return s;
    }
 
    public void updateStudent(Integer id) {
        Student student = studentDAO.findStudentById(id);
        student.setName("online tutorials point");
        studentDAO.updateStudent(student);
        System.out.println("Student Updated Success");
    }
 
    public void deleteStudent(Integer id) {
        studentDAO.deleteStudent(id);
        System.out.println("Student Deleted Success");
    }
 
    public List<Student> getStudentList() {
        return studentDAO.listStudent();
    }
 
    public Student getStudent(Integer id) {
        return studentDAO.findStudentById(id);
    }
 
}

Output :

Console
Student Name : smith Student Updated Success Student Details After Updation : online tutorials point Student Deleted Success

Happy Learning 🙂
