We have already learned about how to about Hibernate One To One Mapping with Primary Key and One To One Mapping with Foreign Key. In this article, we will learn about Hibernate One To Many mapping between Java objects and database tables using Hibernate framework (XML Mapping).
Creating table
Create AUTHOR and BOOK Tables, simply Copy and Paste the following SQL query in the query editor to get the table created.
CREATE TABLE "AUTHOR" ( "AUTHOR_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "AUTHOR_NAME" VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE, PRIMARY KEY (AUTHOR_ID) ); CREATE TABLE "BOOK" ( "BOOK_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "AUTHOR_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "BOOK_TITLE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR), "BOOK_DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR), PRIMARY KEY ("BOOK_ID"), CONSTRAINT fk_book FOREIGN KEY("AUTHOR_ID") REFERENCES AUTHOR("AUTHOR_ID") );
Folder Structure:
- Create a simple Maven Project “HibernateTutorial” and create a package for our source files “com.javainterviewpoint” under src/main/java
- Now add the following dependency in the POM.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>HibernateTutorial</groupId> <artifactId>HibernateTutorial</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <properties> <hibernate.version>4.3.11.Final</hibernate.version> <oracle.connector.version>11.2.0</oracle.connector.version> </properties> <dependencies> <!-- Hibernate --> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId> <version>${hibernate.version}</version> </dependency> <!-- Oracle --> <dependency> <groupId>com.oracle</groupId> <artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId> <version>${oracle.connector.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.3</version> <configuration> <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
- Create the Java classes Author.java, Book.java, HibernateOneToMany.java and RetriveAuthorAndBook.java under com.javainterviewpoint folder.
- Place the author.hbm.xml, book.hbm.xml, hibernate.cfg.xml under the src/main/resources directory
Hibernate One To Many Mapping Example
Author.java
Create a new Java file Author.java under the package com.javainterviewpoint and add the following code
package com.javainterviewpoint; import java.util.Set; public class Author { private int authorId; private String authorName; private Set books; public Author() { super(); } public Author(int authorId, String authorName, Set books) { super(); this.authorId = authorId; this.authorName = authorName; this.books = books; } public int getAuthorId() { return authorId; } public void setAuthorId(int authorId) { this.authorId = authorId; } public String getAuthorName() { return authorName; } public void setAuthorName(String authorName) { this.authorName = authorName; } public Set getBooks() { return books; } public void setBooks(Set books) { this.books = books; } @Override public String toString() { return "Author [authorId=" + authorId + ", authorName=" + authorName + ", books=" + books + "]"; } }
Our Author class is a simple POJO class consisting of the getters and setters for the Author properties (authorId, authorName, books).
Book.java
Create a new Java file Book.java under the package com.javainterviewpoint and add the following code
package com.javainterviewpoint; public class Book { private int bookId; private String bookTitle; private String bookDescription; private Author author; public Book() { super(); } public Book(int bookId, String bookTitle, String bookDescription, Author author) { super(); this.bookId = bookId; this.bookTitle = bookTitle; this.bookDescription = bookDescription; this.author = author; } public int getBookId() { return bookId; } public void setBookId(int bookId) { this.bookId = bookId; } public String getBookTitle() { return bookTitle; } public void setBookTitle(String bookTitle) { this.bookTitle = bookTitle; } public String getBookDescription() { return bookDescription; } public void setBookDescription(String bookDescription) { this.bookDescription = bookDescription; } public Author getAuthor() { return author; } public void setAuthor(Author author) { this.author = author; } @Override public String toString() { return "Book [bookId=" + bookId + ", bookTitle=" + bookTitle + ", bookDescription=" + bookDescription + ", author=" + author + "]"; } }
author.hbm.xml
Place the author.hbm.xml file under the src/main/resources folder
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping package="com.javainterviewpoint"> <class name="Author" table="AUTHOR"> <id name="authorId" column="AUTHOR_ID" type="java.lang.Integer"> <generator class="native"></generator> </id> <property name="authorName" column="AUTHOR_NAME"></property> <set name="books" inverse="true" lazy="true" cascade="all" fetch="select"> <key column="AUTHOR_ID" not-null="true" /> <one-to-many class="Book" /> </set> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
- The “author.hbm.xml” tells hibernate to map “Author.class” with the “AUTHOR” table in the database.
- Next tag is the <id> tag, this tag tells which column needs to be marked as primary key in the database table, here our authorId property of the Author class is the primary key. We have selected the generator as native, it takes the sequence in Oracle, if no sequence name is provided then “HIBERNATE_SEQUENCE” will be used
- The property authorName will be mapped to AUTHOR_NAME column in the table respectively.
- Here the Author has one-to-many relationship with Book. we have also set inverse =”true” attribute. This means Author is not the relationship owner instead Book is the owner of the relationship, this is because BOOK table has the foreign key which refers to the AUTHOR table. This attribute is a required attribute for the one-to-many and many-to-many relationship.
book.hbm.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping package="com.javainterviewpoint"> <class name="Book" table="BOOK"> <id name="bookId" column="BOOK_ID" type="java.lang.Integer"> <generator class="native"></generator> </id> <property name="bookTitle" column="BOOK_TITLE" /> <property name="bookDescription" column="BOOK_DESCRIPTION" /> <many-to-one name="author" class="Author" column="AUTHOR_ID" not-null="true"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
- The “book.hbm.xml” tells hibernate to map “Book.class” with the “BOOK” table in the database.
- For the <id> tag we have selected the generator as native, so it takes the sequence in Oracle. Here our bookId field act as a primary key.
- We have mapped the Book class with this Author class with Hibernate many-to-one mapping with the column name pointing to AUTHOR_ID
- The property bookTitle, bookDescription are mapped with BOOK_TITLE, BOOK_DESCRIPTION columns in the table respectively.
hibernate.cfg.xml
Place the hibernate.cfg.xml file also under the src/main/resources folder
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <!-- Database connection settings --> <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property> <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property> <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property> <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydb:40051:dev</property> <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) --> <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property> <!-- SQL dialect --> <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property> <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout --> <property name="show_sql">true</property> <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup --> <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property> <!-- Mapping resource file --> <mapping resource="author.hbm.xml" /> <mapping resource="book.hbm.xml" /> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration>
- First and foremost property is for specifying the JDBC Driver class, in my case it OracleDriver
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
- Give the connection URL for connecting the database and provide username and password for connecting the above database
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydb:40051:dev</property> <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property> <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
- Specify the connection pool size, this property limits the number of connections in the Hibernate connection pool.
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
- Dialect Property makes the Hibernate generate the SQL for the corresponding database which is being used. In this example we are using Oracle database hence Oracle query will be generated. If you are using MySQL database then you need to change the dialect accordingly.
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>
- The show_sql property will print the executed sql in the console when set to true.
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
- If the property “hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto” is set to “create” This will drop and recreate the database schema on every execution. If it is set to “update” then the database schema will be updated every time rather than dropping and recreating.
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
- Under the Mapping resource tag we need to specify all the mapping file for which we need the table to be created or updated.
<mapping resource="author.hbm.xml" /> <mapping resource="book.hbm.xml" />
HibernateOneToMany.java
package com.javainterviewpoint; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.Set; import org.hibernate.Session; import org.hibernate.SessionFactory; import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder; import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration; import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry; public class HibernateOneToMany { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading the hibernate configuration file Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml"); StandardServiceRegistryBuilder regBuilber = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder(); regBuilber.applySettings(configuration.getProperties()); ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = regBuilber.build(); //Create SessionFacctory SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry); //Create Session from SessionFactory Session session = sessionFactory.openSession(); //Begin the transaction session.beginTransaction(); //Create a new Author Object Author author = new Author(); author.setAuthorName("JavaInterviewPoint"); //Create a new Book Object Book book1 = new Book(); book1.setBookTitle("Hibernate"); book1.setBookDescription("Hibernate Description"); book1.setAuthor(author); //Create a new Book Object Book book2 = new Book(); book2.setBookTitle("Spring"); book2.setBookDescription("Spring Description"); book2.setAuthor(author); //Adding books to the Set Set books = new HashSet(); books.add(book1); books.add(book2); author.setBooks(books); session.save(author); //Commit the changes session.getTransaction().commit(); //Close the session session.close(); } }
- Create the Configuration object and read the configuration file using the configure() method.
Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
- Get the SessionFactory object through the buildSessionFactory() method of the configuration object.
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
- openSession() method opens up the new session and begin a new transaction
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession(); session.beginTransaction();
- Create a new Author object and set values to its properties
Author author = new Author(); author.setAuthorName("JavaInterviewPoint");
- Create two Book objects (book1, book2) and set value to it properties
Book book1 = new Book(); book1.setBookTitle("Hibernate"); book1.setBookDescription("Hibernate Description"); book1.setAuthor(author); Book book2 = new Book(); book2.setBookTitle("Spring"); book2.setBookDescription("Spring Description"); book2.setAuthor(author);
- Create a Set and add book1 and book2 to and set it books property of Author class
Set books = new HashSet(); books.add(book1); books.add(book2); author.setBooks(books);
- save() method of the session object will persist the author object into the database.
session.save(author);
- Finally get the transaction and commit the changes and close the session.
session.getTransaction().commit(); session.close();
