Hibernate 4 Annotation Example with Gradle
July 28, 2014
In this page we will learn Hibernate 4 example using annotation. In hibernate creating SessionFactory is changed. StandardServiceRegistryBuilder is used to create SessionFactory. To resolve the JAR dependency , gardle has been used. I am providing complete example to run the demo. You can also find the download link at the bottom.
Software Used
In our Hibernate 4 Example, we are using below software.1. JDK 7
2. Eclipse
3. Gradle 2.0
4. MySQL 5.5
Project Structure in Eclipse
Before start, check the class and cfg file location in eclipse.
Create Database Table in MySQL
For the demo, I am using MySQL 5.5. I have created a database schema with the name "concretepage" and inside that schema I have created a table named as person.person
CREATE TABLE `person` ( `id` INT(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL, `name` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL )
Hibernate 4 JAR Dependency Using Gradle
To resolve JAR dependency of Hibernate 4, find the below Gradle script.build.gradle
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
archivesBaseName = 'Concretepage'
version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:4.3.6.Final'
compile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0'
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.7'
compile 'org.javassist:javassist:3.15.0-GA'
compile 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.31'
}
Create Annotation based Entity for the Demo
In our example we are using a Person table and so find the person entity with annotation.Person.java
package com.concretepage;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@Table(name="person")
public class Person {
@Id
@Column(name="id")
private int id;
@Column(name="name")
private String name;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Create hibernate.cfg.xml
Now find the hibernate configuration file that will have database connection setting and entity registration.hibernate.cfg.xml
<!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="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/concretepage</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">10</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<mapping class="com.concretepage.Person"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Create SessionFactory using StandardServiceRegistryBuilder in Hibernate 4
This part is important regarding hibernate 4 feature. Now create SessionFactory using StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.HibernateUtil.java
package com.concretepage;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class HibernateUtil {
private static SessionFactory sessionFactory ;
static {
Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}
Create Main Class to Test
Finally we are in the position to test our hibernate 4 example. In main method we are just saving a person entity in database.TestMain.java
package com.concretepage;
import org.hibernate.Session;
public class TestMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Person person = new Person();
person.setId(1);
person.setName("Concretepage");
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(person);
session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();
System.out.println("Done");
}
}
Hibernate: insert into person (name, id) values (?, ?) Done
