I got error:
org.hibernate.AnnotationException: #OneToOne or #ManyToOne on xxx.yyy.zz.myentity.xxx_id references an unknown entity: java.util.UUID
code
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "xxx_id", nullable = false, updatable = false, referencedColumnName = "xxx_id", insertable
= false)
private UUID xxxId;
I got this when i change from AnotherEntity to UUID. I did this because i dont want to hold an object in my entity but only key to it(key type in AnotherEntity is UUID). I found that this error is cause when Object isnt annotated with
#Entity annotation. Is it true? How can i fix this?
You can represent an Entity as a SQL table and fields (properties) from this Entity as the columns from this table.
That's the easiest way to use Hibernate (or any other JPA implementation).
When you define a relationship (OneToOne, OneToMany, ManyToOne or ManyToMany) you are linking SQL tables so, with JPA, you are linking Entities.
As you can imagine, you can't define a relationship between a table and a column.
So:
your xxxId is supposed to be an object (Entity/Table) mapped in your database and Hibernate must know the column mapping.
that's the purpose of the #Entity annotation and all #Column, #JoinColumn you can use on an Entity class.
so yes, you can't use an object in a ManyToOne relationship that is not annotated with #Entity (it would be considerate by Hibernate like a column)
therefore, you cannot use an object from the JDK (because they are not annotated with any JPA annotation)
more specifically, java.util.UUID is not a class you can change. so you have no way to tell hibernate how it can map it to a Table in your DB.
so the only way I can imagine in your case is to use an entity you created to wrappe the UUID. For example:
#Entity
#Table(name="UUID")
public class UUIDWrapperEntity {
#Id
#Column(name = "UUID")
private UUID uuid;
}

Under hibernate-jpa-api-2.0, can i specify the name of the foreign key using #PrimaryKeyJoinColumn with oneToOne relation ?
I tried the folowing but it doesn't seem to work.
#OneToOne(optional = false, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "CARID")
#ForeignKey(name = "FK_CAR_CORP")
public CarEntity getCar() {
return car;
}
There are two #ForeignKey annotations can be used:
org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey (Hibernate annotation)
javax.persistence.ForeignKey (JPA annotation)
Hibernate 4 (even the last version) sometimes doesn't process, probably cause of bug, javax.persistence.ForeignKey annotation.
For example, with Hibernate 4.3.11 we should use org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey on the #OneToMany part of unidirectional association. And we can use javax.persistence.ForeignKey on the #ManyToOne part of bidirectional association.
So you can try to use Hibernate org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey annotation.
The mappedBy attribute is only necessary for a bidirectional relationship, this element can be omitted on the annotation. It is used on the source entity to point back to a field on the target entity that defines the relationship (contains #JoinColumn).
The #JoinColumn annotation should be placed upon the billSimpleEntry field to define the column that should be used to join the two tables. In the case of a OneToOne the following applies:
If the join is for a OneToOne or ManyToOne mapping using a foreign key mapping strategy, the foreign key column is in the table of the source entity or embeddable.
Here is a code example:
#OneToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="id") // use actual column name
private ClassName className; // use class name
I don't think #ForeignKey will work for hibernate-jpa-api-2.0, as per doc it's release in 2.1
Since:
Java Persistence 2.1
here is doc
I'm using hibernate 3.2.1.
In an entity class I've seen the annotations #OneToMany and #JoinColumns are always used together. But what do these mean in separate? For instance what it would mean if we annotated our entity class as follows:
#Entity
#Table(name = "player_account")
public class PlayerAccount {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Column(name = "id")
private int id;
#ManyToOne(targetEntity = Player.class, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
//Without #JoinColumn
private Player player;
//GET, SET
}
Please see what says Hibernate documentation about it: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/annotations/3.5/reference/en/html_single/
You need 2.2.5.2. Many-to-one section:
The #JoinColumn attribute is optional, the default value(s) is like in one to one, the concatenation of the name of the relationship in the owner side, _ (underscore), and the name of the primary key column in the owned side.
#OneToMany annotation defines a many-valued association with one-to-many multiplicity.
If the collection is defined using generics to specify the element type, the associated target entity type need not be specified; otherwise the target entity class must be specified
#JoinColumn is used to specify a mapped column for joining an entity association.
I have two tables (say table A and table B). Table B has foreign key from table A primary key. I generated my java entities using netbeans IDE and i now have something like:
For table A:
#Entity
#Table(name = "WORKFLOW_TRANSACTION")
public class WorkflowTransaction implements {
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "wtId")
private Collection<WorkflowTask> workflowTaskCollection;
#Id
#Basic(optional = false)
#NotNull
#Column(name = "APP_ID")
private BigDecimal appId;
.
.
.
For table B:
#Entity
#Table(name = "WORKFLOW_TASK")
public class WorkflowTask implements Serializable {
#JoinColumn(name = "WT_ID", referencedColumnName = "APP_ID")
#ManyToOne
private WorkflowTransaction wtId;
#Id
#Basic(optional = false)
#NotNull
#Column(name = "TASK_ID")
private BigDecimal taskId;
#Column(name = "STEP_NUM")
private BigInteger stepNum;
.
.
.
Now my questions are:
What is the correct way to save data, should I create object for table B entity and set it in table A entity and then save table A?
I am generating entity beans using netbeans IDE feature. Are there any known disadvantages of it?, if yes, what?
You have bi-directional association, so you need to setTable B property in Table A entity class and also vice-versa. Since you have not declared cascading, you need to save the Table A entity first and then Table B entity.
Alternatively, if you save Table B and then Table A entity classes, the hibernate generates an extra SQL update command to maintain the relationship.
But if you want hibernate to save Table B entity when you save Table A entity then you need to add Cascade property:
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "wtId", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
I don't think you will have any disadvantages if you use Netbeans for generating the entity classes, it save you time in writing the entities. But if you want to learn then writing entities without Netbeans is good.
To achieve this you can use two type of techniques XML mapping or Annotations
In both these techniques the common point is use
cascade="save-update"
What happens is that you set an attribute in one table getter and it will automatically insert into the many relation when inserting into one relation table
How do I proceed in terms of Hibernate Annotation (JPA) when a table's primary key column is a foreign key to another table with no auto_increment (MySQL).
Thanks.
Something like the following should work (not tested for exact syntax, but should be close):
#Id
private int id;
#OneToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "id", updatable = false, insertable = false)
private RelationEntity other;
You would need to manually set your 'id' field before you persist it, and can't remember if you can set the 'other' entity before the initial save, hibernate may complain if you do that. However, if your 'id' column is set then when you load the entity back out you should have the relationship loaded as well.
I am having trouble working out how to do a bulk delete of a Person object using JPA, when the Person objects contain data stored using an #ElementCollection. Any ideas on how to do this would be much appreciated.
#Entity
#Table(name="at_person")
public class Person implements Comparable<Person> {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name="id")
private long id = 0;
#Column(name="name", nullable = true, length = 128)
private String name = "";
#ElementCollection
#Column(name = "email")
#CollectionTable(name = "person_email", joinColumns = #JoinColumn(name = "person_id"))
private Set<String> email = new HashSet<String>();
}
What I am doing at the moment is this, and it fails with a foreign key constraint error:
Query query=em.createQuery("DELETE FROM Person");
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: integrity constraint violation:
foreign key no action; FKCEC6E942485388AB table: PERSON_EMAIL
If it can be a pure JPA annotation rather than a Hibernate annotation that would be a bonus!
I'll let you interpret the part of the JPA 2.0 specification that mentions that a bulk delete operation is not cascaded:
4.10 Bulk Update and Delete Operations
...
A delete operation only applies to
entities of the specified class and
its subclasses. It does not cascade to
related entities.
And the fact is that Hibernate won't cascade a delete to a collection table either. This has been reported in HHH-5529 and the suggested approaches are:
You could also (a) clean up the collection table yourself or (b) use cascading foreign keys in the schema.
In other words, (a) use native SQL or (b) use a cascade delete constraint at the database level - and you'll have to add it manually, I don't think you can use #OnDelete with the #ElementCollection annotation (same story as HHH-4301 IMO).
