Quick hibernate question - How can I use Hibernate annotations to define this class as an entity -
public class NativeType {
private long id;
private String name;
private int maxPrecision;
private byte maxScale;
private DataStoreProvider provider;
linked as a Map Collection in the AbstractDataStoreProvider class -
public abstract class AbstractDataStoreProvider implements DataStoreProvider,
Serializable{
private Map<String, NativeType> uniqueNativeTypes;
..
public interface DataStoreProvider {
so I can store this in DB tables like so -
**datastore_provider**
provider_id | provider_name
**native_type**
native_type_id | name | max_precision | max_scale | provider_id
I think its me, but I cant navigate the Hibernate specs very easily. New to Java, and newer to JPA + Hibernate. Appreciate the guidance!
Code Sample
I think you can use the following -
#Entity
#Table(name = "native_type")
public class NativeType {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name = "native_type_id")
private Long id;
private String name;
#Column(name = "max_precision")
private int maxPrecision;
#Column(name = "max_scale")
private byte maxScale;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="provider_id")
private DataStoreProvider provider;
// rest of the class (getter setter etc.)
}
ID Generation
I am assuming you are auto-generating your database ids, hence I marked it with the #GeneratedValue annotation. As for the strategy, I specified AUTO which is only suitable for local experiments. For production-grade application, you'll have to choose between SEQUENCE, IDENTITY, and TABLE.
Relation Mapping
I assumed that you are going to create a DataStoreProvider entity too. In that case, you can specify the relation between them as described above.
Reference
For further reference, you can consult this excellent book.

I have the following Pojo:
#Entity
#Table(name = "USER")
class User {
#Id
private long id;
private String name;
private int age;
private long lastVisited;
private long lastPlayed;
private long lastPayed;
...
}
I would like somehow if possible to map the Pojo like this:
#Entity
#Table(name = "USER")
class User {
#Id
private long id;
private String name;
private int age;
#Embedded
private UserStatistics statistics;
...
}
#Embeddable
class UserStatistics {
private long lastVisited;
private long lastPlayed;
private long lastPayed;
}
BUT, I DON'T want to move the statistics columns into a new
USER_STATISTICS table and do #OneToOne mapping.
Is there a Hibernate trick I can use here?
Thanks!
What you did is already enough, Hibernate does not require you to define fields for all columns in your table. It's rather the other way around - all non-transient fields should be reflected as columns in the corresponding table either using name defined in #Column annotation or generated using a naming convention used in hibernate configuration.
The example you presented is sufficient and will work, but I wouldn't recommend it as you can have two entities mapping single row at the same time.
I'm mapping a relationship that does not use the entity's primary key. Using "referencedColumnName" with a column different than the primary key causes hibernate to eagerly fetch the association, by issuing an extra select, even when it's tagged with FetchType.LAZY.
My goal is to make it behave like a regular mapping, meaning it wouldn't issue an extra query every time I need to query the main entity.
I have already tried using #LazyToOne(LazyToOneOption.NO_PROXY), which sorts out the problem, but it does not operate well with Jackson's (JSON parsing library) module "jackson-datatype-hibernate5", which skips hibernate lazy proxies when serializing the results.
Here is a scenario almost like the one I have that causes the problem:
Entities:
#Entity(name = "Book")
#Table(name = "book")
public class Book
implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String title;
private String author;
#NaturalId
private String isbn;
//Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}
#Entity(name = "Publication")
#Table(name = "publication")
public class Publication {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String publisher;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(
name = "isbn",
referencedColumnName = "isbn"
)
private Book book;
#Column(
name = "price_in_cents",
nullable = false
)
private Integer priceCents;
private String currency;
//Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}
Repository (Spring-Data, but you could try directly with the EntityManager):
#Repository
public interface PublicationRepository extends JpaReadRepository <Publication, Long>
{
#Query ("SELECT d FROM Publication d WHERE d.publisher = ?1 ")
Optional <Publication> findByPublisher (String isbn);
}
Thanks
The only way to achieve what you are looking for is by moving the annotatation #Id to the isbn property.
You can leave the #GeneratedValue on the autoincrement property.
Notes:
1 - Make sure that your equals/hc are following the OID(Object ID) on your domain case the "NaturalId" ISBN.
2 - It will be good to ensure if possible on DB level that your natural ID has unique contraint on it.
I found similar questions, but they did not answer my question.
I have two entities with a many-to-one relationship - unidirectional.
But most importantly, the relationship is lazy. Because it is correct to use a lazy connection, everyone knows it.
Code:
#Entity
public class User implements BaseEntity {
#Id
#Column
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
#Column
private String name;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private City city;
}
#Entity
public class City implements BaseEntity {
#Id
#Column
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
#Column
private String name;
}
interface BaseEntity {
void setId(Long id);
Long getId();
}
I wrote a method that allows you to search by the transferred fields of the entity.
An example of how this works:
public class Search<T extends BaseEntity> {
public List<T> getByFields(T entity, List<FieldHolder> data) {
// create criteria with passed field name and value by reflection
}
}
class FieldHolder {
private String fieldName;
private Object value;
/**
* "true" - means that the field "value" contains id related object
* "false" - elementary type like: String, Wrapper, Primitive
*/
private boolean isRelationId;
}
The problem is that problems start when you need to search and related objects - by creating related queries.
The following entry is used to send the associated field: "city.id" and the problem is that when I transfer the essence of the related object (City) it is in a proxy and I cannot get id by reflection from City.
My function works perfectly if you specify:
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private City city;
But it will greatly affect performance, since I have a lot of related objects. Therefore, I want to solve this problem for a lazy load.
I know that this is not an easy task. But perhaps there is some opportunity to somehow get around this problem.
I got these 2 entities:
#javax.persistence.Entity
public class Book {
#javax.persistence.EmbeddedId
private BookPK id;
private String title;
#javax.persistence.ManyToOne(fetch = javax.persistence.FetchType.LAZY)
#javax.persistence.JoinColumns({
#javax.persistence.JoinColumn(name = "LNGCOD", referencedColumnName = "LNGCOD"),
#javax.persistence.JoinColumn(name = "LIBCOD", referencedColumnName = "LIBCOD") })
private Language language;
}
#javax.persistence.Entity
public class Language {
#javax.persistence.EmbeddedId
private LanguagePK id;
private String name;
}
with composed PK's:
#Embeddable
public class BookPK implements Serializable {
private Integer bookcod;
private Integer libcod;
}
#Embeddable
public class LanguagePK implements Serializable {
private Integer lngcod;
private Integer libcod;
}
If I try to create a new Book and persist it, I get an exception telling me libcod is found twice in the insert statement ("Column 'libcod' specified twice"). But I can't use "insertable = false" when defining the JoinColumn ("Mixing insertable and non insertable columns in a property is not allowed").
Is there any way to define these objects + relationship so the columns are managed automatically by Hibernate ? (I am especially thinking of libcod).
Thank you.
Create a third property "Integer libcod;" on the Book. Have that property manage the db state of libcod. Use insertable=false,updatable=false for both properties in the join to Language. in your "setLanguage" set the private libcod = language.libcod. don't expose a getter/setter for the private libcod.
Are any of the values generated at insert time? This could complicate things further, I suppose.
I have an unowned relationship in my Domain model
#Entity
public class A {
#Id
private String id;
private Key firstB;
private Key secondB;
// getters & setters
}
#Entity
public class B {
#Id
private Key id;
private String name;
// getter & setter
}
KeyFactory.createKey(B.class.getSimpleName(), name) is the way I generate the Key for class B
I save B independently from A and assign it to an instance of A some time. The problem is that after saving A both fields firstB and firstA are null.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Key objects are not persisted by default so require explicit annotation which is why you are seeing null values.
Try annotating firstB and secondB as #Enumerated (this should really be #Basic but there is a bug which prevents this from working):
#Entity
public class A {
#Id
private String id;
#Enumerated
private Key firstB;
#Enumerated
private Key secondB;
}
Update: The latest SDK and DataNucleus JARs now correctly allow the use of #Basic.
