Maven 2 + Hibernate 3.2 + MySQL Example (Annotation)

Note
This article is outdated, and some information is no longer valid in latest Hibernate development. You should refer to this latest – Maven 3 + Hibernate 3.6.3 + Oracle 11g Example (Annotation) tutorial.

This tutorial will modify the previous Maven 2 + Hibernate 3.2 + MySQL Example (XML mapping), and replace the Hibernate XML mapping file with Annotation code.

Tools & technologies used in this article :

Maven 2.2.1
JDK 1.6.0_13
Hibernate 3.2.3.GA
MySQL 5.0

1. Create project infrastructure

Create project infrastructure in Maven + Hibernate (XML mapping file) + MySQL Example

2. Add JBoss repository

JBoss repository in pom.xml is required to download the Hibernate annotation library.


 <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>JBoss repository</id>
      <url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

3. Add Hibernate annotation dependency

Add hibernate-annotations and hibernate-commons-annotations dependency in pom.xml.


	<dependency>
		<groupId>hibernate-annotations</groupId>
		<artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
		<version>3.3.0.GA</version>
	</dependency>
	
	<dependency>
		<groupId>hibernate-commons-annotations</groupId>
		<artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
		<version>3.0.0.GA</version>
	</dependency>

  </dependencies>
</project>

4. Update project classpath

Issue “mvn eclipse:eclipse” in command prompt to download the dependency library and update the Eclipse’s project classpath.

5. Update HibernateUtil.java

Update “HibernateUtil” to use “AnnotationConfiguration” instead of “Configuration” to build the Hibernate session factory.

Previously is using “Configuration” – For Hibernate XML mapping file


return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

Change it to “AnnotationConfiguration” – For Hibernation annotation support


return new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

File : HibernateUtil.java


package com.mkyong.persistence;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
            return new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
            
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }
    
    public static void shutdown() {
    	// Close caches and connection pools
    	getSessionFactory().close();
    }

}

6. Update Model class

Update “Stock.java” to use annotation as follow :

Stock.java


package com.mkyong.common;

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;
import javax.persistence.UniqueConstraint;

@Entity
@Table(name = "stock", catalog = "mkyong", uniqueConstraints = {
		@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "STOCK_NAME"),
		@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "STOCK_CODE") })
public class Stock implements java.io.Serializable {

	private Integer stockId;
	private String stockCode;
	private String stockName;

	public Stock() {
	}

	public Stock(String stockCode, String stockName) {
		this.stockCode = stockCode;
		this.stockName = stockName;
	}

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "STOCK_ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
	public Integer getStockId() {
		return this.stockId;
	}

	public void setStockId(Integer stockId) {
		this.stockId = stockId;
	}

	@Column(name = "STOCK_CODE", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 10)
	public String getStockCode() {
		return this.stockCode;
	}

	public void setStockCode(String stockCode) {
		this.stockCode = stockCode;
	}

	@Column(name = "STOCK_NAME", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 20)
	public String getStockName() {
		return this.stockName;
	}

	public void setStockName(String stockName) {
		this.stockName = stockName;
	}
	
}

7. Delete existing Hibernate XML mapping file

Delete existing Hibernate XML mapping file – “Stock.hbm.xml”, this is no longer require.

8. Update Hibernate configuration file

Update the Hibernate configuration file – hibernate.cfg.xml.

Previously it had the Hibernate XML mapping file with “mapping resource” tag


<mapping resource="com/mkyong/common/Stock.hbm.xml"></mapping>

Change it to model class with “mapping class” tag


<mapping class="com.mkyong.common.Stock"></mapping>

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.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mkyong</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>
        <mapping class="com.mkyong.common.Stock"></mapping>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

9. Review project structure

Sound like few files were modified, review it and make sure the folder structure as follow :

10. Run it and see output

Run your App.java, it will insert a new record into “Stock” table. The result should be same with previous Hibernate XML mapping file example.


Maven + Hibernate + MySQL
...
Hibernate: insert into mkyong.stock (STOCK_CODE, STOCK_NAME) values (?, ?)

Done.

This is good example for Starter.
I have simply download the Project but while import I have got some error.To fix those Simply , Add 2 Dependencies.
1. Compiler.

org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
3.5.1

1.8
1.8

2. Jra.

javax.transaction
jta
1.1

I have added to POM.

3. Change Hibernate util (username and password to connect with back end which is mysql now).

Finally , Its working…..

@Ade end others. If you got a ‘table does not exist’ it is because the schema catalog = “mkyong” is used in the defnition of the entity. IMHO it is unfortunate to force the name of the schema in the definition of the entity. You didn’t create the databse mkyong !Remove catalog = “mkyong” and then it will work!

  Obviously, it’s from Hibernate annotation library :), double check your Hibernate version or download this project and compare it with yours.

Hi,

When i try to run the project example in Eclipse Helios, the Stock.java class has some errors like:

– The attribute uniqueConstraints is undefined for the annotation type Table
– The attribute name is undefined for the annotation type Table
– The annotation @Table must define the attribute appliesTo
– The attribute catalog is undefined for the annotation type Table

You can help me about this?

Thanks.

Regards,
MiguelMac

  @Table is belong to standard JPA javax.persistence.Table , you may be using old j2ee version, try upgrade to 1.5

Hello, this is nice straightforward Wicket/Hibernate tutorial but it went South on me later this day. Exception snippet follows:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at com.mkyong.persistence.HibernateUtil.buildSessionFactory(HibernateUtil.java:18)
at com.mkyong.persistence.HibernateUtil.(HibernateUtil.java:8)

  This is not a wicket example, it’s a hibernate annotation hello world project, it will be better if you can send me your project via email.
