Hibernate One-To-One Mapping Tutoria

In this example you will learn how to map one-to-one relationship using Hibernate. Consider the following relationship between Student and Address entity.
According to the relationship each student should have a unique address.
To create this relationship you need to have a STUDENT and ADDRESS table. The relational model is shown below.
To create the STUDENT and ADDRESS table you need to create the following hibernate mapping files.
Student.hbm.xml is used to create the STUDENT table.
view source
print?
01.<?xml version="1.0"?>
02.<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
03."-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
04."http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
05.<hibernate-mapping>
06.<class name="com.vaannila.student.Student" table="STUDENT">
07.<meta attribute="class-description">This class contains student details.</meta>
08.<id name="studentId" type="long" column="STUDENT_ID">
09.<generator class="native" />
10.</id>
11.<property name="studentName" type="string" not-null="true"length="100" column="STUDENT_NAME" />
12.<many-to-one name="studentAddress"class="com.vaannila.student.Address" column="STUDENT_ADDRESS" not-null="true" cascade="all" unique="true" />
13.</class>
14.</hibernate-mapping>
We use the many-to-one element to create the one-to-one relationship between the Student andAddress entities. We do this my making the STUDENT_ADDRESS column unique in the STUDENTtable.
Address.hbm.xml is used to create the ADDRESS table.
view source
print?
01.<?xml version="1.0"?>
02.<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
03."-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
04."http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
05.<hibernate-mapping>
06.<class name="com.vaannila.student.Address" table="ADDRESS">
07.<meta attribute="class-description">This class contains the student's address
08.details.</meta>
09.<id name="addressId" type="long" column="ADDRESS_ID">
10.<generator class="native" />
11.</id>
12.<property name="street" column="ADDRESS_STREET" type="string"length="250" />
13.<property name="city" column="ADDRESS_CITY" type="string" length="50"/>
14.<property name="state" column="ADDRESS_STATE" type="string"length="50" />
15.<property name="zipcode" column="ADDRESS_ZIPCODE" type="string"length="10" />
16.</class>
17.</hibernate-mapping>
Now create the hibernate configuration file and add all the mapping files.
view source
print?
01.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
02.<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
03."-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
04."http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
05.<hibernate-configuration>
06.<session-factory>
07.<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"> org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver </property>
08.<property name="hibernate.connection.url"> jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost<;/property>
09.<property name="hibernate.connection.username">sa</property>
10.<property name="connection.password"></property>
11.<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
12.<property name="hibernate.dialect"> org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect </property>
13.<property name="show_sql">true</property>
14.<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>
15.<mapping resource="com/vaannila/student/Student.hbm.xml"/>
16.<mapping resource="com/vaannila/student/Address.hbm.xml"/>
17.</session-factory>
18.</hibernate-configuration>
After creating the configuration file, generate java class files using Hibernate Tools.(To generate code using Hibernate Tools refer this example )
The following classes will be generated.

Create the Main class to run the example.
view source
print?
01.package com.vaannila.student;
02. 
03.import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
04.import org.hibernate.Session;
05.import org.hibernate.Transaction;
06. 
07.import com.vaannila.util.HibernateUtil;
08. 
09.public class Main {
10. 
11.public static void main(String[] args) {
12.Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
13.Transaction transaction = null;
14.try {
15.transaction = session.beginTransaction();
16.Address address1 = new Address("OMR Road", "Chennai", "TN","600097");
17.Address address2 = new Address("Ring Road", "Banglore","Karnataka", "560000");
18.Student student1 = new Student("Eswar", address1);
19.Student student2 = new Student("Joe", address2);
20.session.save(student1);
21.session.save(student2);
22.transaction.commit();
23.} catch (HibernateException e) {
24.transaction.rollback();
25.e.printStackTrace();
26.} finally {
27.session.close();
28.}
29. 
30.}
31. 
32.}
On executing the Main class you will see the following output.
The Student table has two records.
The Address table has two record.
Each student record points to a different address record, this illustrates the one-to-one mapping.
The folder structure of the example is shown below.

SQL Tutorial with HSQLDB

Image
This assumes that you have Java setup on your machine as illustrated in the "simple" Java tutorial. Q.  Why use  HSQLB ? A.  It can be useful in a number of ways. Easy to get started and if you are a beginner, you can acquire or sharpen your SQL and database skills. It is open-sourced, hence you can use it for your self-taught projects as a database. An alternative to MySQL  database. It is used in commercial projects to write unit tests for your data access layer. Apache Derby database is another alternative. It is used in the ensuing tutorials on  JDBC  and  Hibernate  as the database. Step 1 : Download the latest version of HSQLB from   http://hsqldb.org/ . I downloaded  hsqldb-2.2.9.zip  at the time of writing and extracted zip files. The HSQLDB is unpacked under  c:\Tools  as as hown below. Step 2 : You can start the server with the following command. ? 1 c:\Tools\hsqldb-2.2.9>java -cp ./h...

Hibernate tutorial with HSQLDB

This tutorial is basically an extension to the  "simple" Java  and  JDBC tutorials . Hibernate is an ORM (Object to Relational Mapping) tool. Step 1 :  First step is to bring in the relevant  Hibernate  framework jar files like  hibernate-xxx.jar ,  hibernate-annotations-xxxx.jar , and other dependent jar files that are transitively brought in from hibernate framework's pom.xml file. Here is the pom.xml file for simple Java project extended for hibernate. ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 <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...

Java Interview Questions & Answers: user defined key class

Image
This is one of my favorite core Java interview questions as not knowing this can cause subtle and intermittent issues in Java. The issues that arise from not understanding equals( ) and hashCode( ) contract can be hard to debug.    Q.  When providing a user defined key class for storing objects in a  Map (e.g. HashMap) , what methods do you have to provide or override (i.e. method overriding)? A.  You should override the  equals( ... )  and  hashCode( .. )  methods from the  Object  class. The default implementation of the  equals( ... )  and  hashCode( ... )  methods are inherited from the  java.lang.Object  class  uses an object instance’s memory location (e.g. MyObject@6c60f2ea). This can cause problems when two instances of car objects have the same color but the inherited  equals( .. )  will return false because it uses the memory location as oppose to the color, which is different ...
