However, across applications - the definition of what constitutes a context is typically different; and different contexts - define different scopes to the notion of current. Applications using Hibernate prior - to version 3.0 tended to utilize either home-grown <literal>ThreadLocal</literal>-based - contextual sessions, helper classes such as <literal>HibernateUtil</literal>, or utilized - third-party frameworks (such as Spring or Pico) which provided proxy/interception-based contextual sessions. - </para> - <para> - Starting with version 3.0.1, Hibernate added the <literal>SessionFactory.getCurrentSession()</literal> - method. Initially, this assumed usage of <literal>JTA</literal> transactions, where the - <literal>JTA</literal> transaction defined both the scope and context of a current session. - The Hibernate team maintains that, given the maturity of the numerous stand-alone - <literal>JTA TransactionManager</literal> implementations out there, most (if not all) - applications should be using <literal>JTA</literal> transaction management whether or not - they are deployed into a <literal>J2EE</literal> container. Based on that, the - <literal>JTA</literal>-based contextual sessions is all you should ever need to use. - </para> - <para> - However, as of version 3.1, the processing behind - <literal>SessionFactory.getCurrentSession()</literal> is now pluggable. To that - end, a new extension interface (<literal>org.hibernate.context.CurrentSessionContext</literal>) - and a new configuration parameter (<literal>hibernate.current_session_context_class</literal>) - have been added to allow pluggability of the scope and context of defining current sessions. - </para> - <para> - See the Javadocs for the <literal>org.hibernate.context.CurrentSessionContext</literal> - interface for a detailed discussion of its contract. It defines a single method, - <literal>currentSession()</literal>, by which the implementation is responsible for - tracking the current contextual session. Out-of-the-box, Hibernate comes with three - implementations of this interface. - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>org.hibernate.context.JTASessionContext</literal> - current sessions - are tracked and scoped by a <literal>JTA</literal> transaction.

A - <emphasis>component</emphasis> is a user defined class with value semantics. - A Java property of type <literal>java.lang.String</literal> also has value - semantics. Given this definition, we can say that all types (classes) provided - by the JDK have value type semantics in Java, while user-defined types may - be mapped with entity or value type semantics.

There are two different approaches to this. For various reasons the most convenient - approach, especially for new users, is to model both <literal>Parent</literal> and <literal>Child</literal> - as entity classes with a <literal>&lt;one-to-many&gt;</literal> association from <literal>Parent</literal> - to <literal>Child</literal>. (The alternative approach is to declare the <literal>Child</literal> as a - <literal>&lt;composite-element&gt;</literal>.) Now, it turns out that default semantics of a one to many - association (in Hibernate) are much less close to the usual semantics of a parent / child relationship than - those of a composite element mapping. We will explain how to use a <emphasis>bidirectional one to many - association with cascades</emphasis> to model a parent / child relationship efficiently and elegantly. - It's not at all difficult! - </para> - - <sect1 id="example-parentchild-collections"> - <title>A note about collections</title> - - <para> - Hibernate collections are considered to be a logical part of their owning entity; never of the - contained entities. This is a crucial distinction! It has the following consequences: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - When we remove / add an object from / to a collection, the version number of the collection owner - is incremented. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If an object that was removed from a collection is an instance of a value type (eg, a composite - element), that object will cease to be persistent and its state will be completely removed from - the database. Likewise, adding a value type instance to the collection will cause its state to be - immediately persistent. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - On the other hand, if an entity is removed from a collection (a one-to-many or many-to-many - association), it will not be deleted, by default.

To fully understand the relational structure - and performance characteristics, we must also consider the structure of - the primary key that is used by Hibernate to update or delete collection - rows. This suggests the following classification: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para>indexed collections</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para>sets</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para>bags</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - All indexed collections (maps, lists, arrays) have a primary key consisting - of the <literal>&lt;key&gt;</literal> and <literal>&lt;index&gt;</literal> - columns.

This may be less efficient for some types of collection element, particularly - composite elements or large text or binary fields; the database may not be able to index - a complex primary key as efficiently. On the other hand, for one to many or many to many - associations, particularly in the case of synthetic identifiers, it is likely to be just - as efficient. (Side-note: if you want <literal>SchemaExport</literal> to actually create - the primary key of a <literal>&lt;set&gt;</literal> for you, you must declare all columns - as <literal>not-null="true"</literal>.) - </para> - - <para> - <literal>&lt;idbag&gt;</literal> mappings define a surrogate key, so they are - always very efficient to update. In fact, they are the best case. - </para> - - <para> - Bags are the worst case. Since a bag permits duplicate element values and has no - index column, no primary key may be defined. Hibernate has no way of distinguishing - between duplicate rows. Hibernate resolves this problem by completely removing - (in a single <literal>DELETE</literal>) and recreating the collection whenever it - changes. This might be very inefficient. - </para> - - <para> - Note that for a one-to-many association, the "primary key" may not be the physical - primary key of the database table - but even in this case, the above classification - is still useful.

All that you + have to do is annotate your persistent class or some of its properties, that you + want to audit, with <literal>@Audited</literal>.

Basically, one + transaction is one revision (unless the transaction didn't modify any audited entities). + As the revisions are global, having a revision number, you can query for various + entities at that revision, retrieving a (partial) view of the database at that + revision.

A common case is - a parent/child relationship. Consider the following example: - </para> - - <para> - If the children in a parent/child relationship would be value typed (e.g. a collection - of addresses or strings), their life cycle would depend on the parent and no - further action would be required for convenient "cascading" of state changes. - When the parent is saved, the value-typed child objects are saved as - well, when the parent is deleted, the children will be deleted, etc. This - even works for operations such as the removal of a child from the collection; - Hibernate will detect this and, since value-typed objects can't have shared - references, delete the child from the database. - </para> - - <para> - Now consider the same scenario with parent and child objects being entities, - not value-types (e.g. categories and items, or parent and child cats). Entities - have their own life cycle, support shared references (so removing an entity from - the collection does not mean it can be deleted), and there is by default no - cascading of state from one entity to any other associated entities. Hibernate - does not implement <emphasis>persistence by reachability</emphasis> by default. - </para> - - <para> - For each basic operation of the Hibernate session - including <literal>persist(), merge(), - saveOrUpdate(), delete(), lock(), refresh(), evict(), replicate()</literal> - there is a - corresponding cascade style. Respectively, the cascade styles are named <literal>create, - merge, save-update, delete, lock, refresh, evict, replicate</literal>. If you want an - operation to be cascaded along an association, you must indicate that in the mapping - document. For example: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<one-to-one name="person" cascade="persist"/>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Cascade styles my be combined: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<one-to-one name="person" cascade="persist,delete,lock"/>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - You may even use <literal>cascade="all"</literal> to specify that <emphasis>all</emphasis> - operations should be cascaded along the association. The default <literal>cascade="none"</literal> - specifies that no operations are to be cascaded. - </para> - - <para> - A special cascade style, <literal>delete-orphan</literal>, applies only to one-to-many - associations, and indicates that the <literal>delete()</literal> operation should - be applied to any child object that is removed from the association. - </para> - - - <para> - Recommendations: - </para> - - <itemizedlist spacing="compact"> - <listitem> - <para> - It doesn't usually make sense to enable cascade on a <literal>&lt;many-to-one&gt;</literal> - or <literal>&lt;many-to-many&gt;</literal> association.

But if you think that you will often be - working with the parent and children together in the same transaction, and you want to save - yourself some typing, consider using <literal>cascade="persist,merge,save-update"</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - Mapping an association (either a single valued association, or a collection) with - <literal>cascade="all"</literal> marks the association as a - <emphasis>parent/child</emphasis> style relationship where save/update/delete of the - parent results in save/update/delete of the child or children. - </para> - <para> - Futhermore, a mere reference to a child from a persistent parent will result in - save/update of the child. This metaphor is incomplete, however. A child which becomes - unreferenced by its parent is <emphasis>not</emphasis> automatically deleted, except - in the case of a <literal>&lt;one-to-many&gt;</literal> association mapped with - <literal>cascade="delete-orphan"</literal>. The precise semantics of cascading - operations for a parent/child relationship are as follows: - </para> - - <itemizedlist spacing="compact"> - <listitem> - <para> - If a parent is passed to <literal>persist()</literal>, all children are passed to - <literal>persist()</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If a parent is passed to <literal>merge()</literal>, all children are passed to - <literal>merge()</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If a parent is passed to <literal>save()</literal>, <literal>update()</literal> or - <literal>saveOrUpdate()</literal>, all children are passed to <literal>saveOrUpdate()</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If a transient or detached child becomes referenced by a persistent parent, - it is passed to <literal>saveOrUpdate()</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If a parent is deleted, all children are passed to <literal>delete()</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - If a child is dereferenced by a persistent parent, <emphasis>nothing - special happens</emphasis> - the application should explicitly delete - the child if necessary - unless <literal>cascade="delete-orphan"</literal>, - in which case the "orphaned" child is deleted. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - Finally, note that cascading of operations can be applied to an object graph at - <emphasis>call time</emphasis> or at <emphasis>flush time</emphasis>. All operations, - if enabled, are cascaded to associated entities reachable when the operation is - executed.

Hibernate directly uses JDBC connections and JTA resources without - adding any additional locking behavior. We highly recommend you spend some time with the - JDBC, ANSI, and transaction isolation specification of your database management system. - </para> - - <para> - Hibernate does not lock objects in memory. Your application can expect the behavior as - defined by the isolation level of your database transactions. Note that thanks to the - <literal>Session</literal>, which is also a transaction-scoped cache, Hibernate - provides repeatable reads for lookup by identifier and entity queries (not - reporting queries that return scalar values). - </para> - - <para> - In addition to versioning for automatic optimistic concurrency control, Hibernate also - offers a (minor) API for pessimistic locking of rows, using the - <literal>SELECT FOR UPDATE</literal> syntax. Optimistic concurrency control and - this API are discussed later in this chapter. - </para> - - <para> - We start the discussion of concurrency control in Hibernate with the granularity of - <literal>Configuration</literal>, <literal>SessionFactory</literal>, and - <literal>Session</literal>, as well as database transactions and long conversations. - </para> - - <sect1 id="transactions-basics" revision="1"> - <title>Session and transaction scopes</title> - - <para> - A <literal>SessionFactory</literal> is an expensive-to-create, threadsafe object - intended to be shared by all application threads. It is created once, usually on - application startup, from a <literal>Configuration</literal> instance. - </para> - - <para> - A <literal>Session</literal> is an inexpensive, non-threadsafe object that should be - used once, for a single request, a conversation, single unit of work, and then discarded. - A <literal>Session</literal> will not obtain a JDBC <literal>Connection</literal> - (or a <literal>Datasource</literal>) unless it is needed, hence consume no - resources until used. - </para> - - <para> - To complete this picture you also have to think about database transactions. A - database transaction has to be as short as possible, to reduce lock contention in - the database. Long database transactions will prevent your application from scaling - to highly concurrent load. Hence, it is almost never good design to hold a - database transaction open during user think time, until the unit of work is - complete. - </para> - - <para> - What is the scope of a unit of work? Can a single Hibernate <literal>Session</literal> - span several database transactions or is this a one-to-one relationship of scopes? When - should you open and close a <literal>Session</literal> and how do you demarcate the - database transaction boundaries? - </para> - - <sect2 id="transactions-basics-uow" revision="1"> - <title>Unit of work</title> - - <para> - First, don't use the <emphasis>session-per-operation</emphasis> antipattern, that is, - don't open and close a <literal>Session</literal> for every simple database call in - a single thread! Of course, the same is true for database transactions. Database calls - in an application are made using a planned sequence, they are grouped into atomic - units of work. (Note that this also means that auto-commit after every single - SQL statement is useless in an application, this mode is intended for ad-hoc SQL - console work. Hibernate disables, or expects the application server to do so, - auto-commit mode immediately.) Database transactions are never optional, all - communication with a database has to occur inside a transaction, no matter if - you read or write data. As explained, auto-commit behavior for reading data - should be avoided, as many small transactions are unlikely to perform better than - one clearly defined unit of work. The latter is also much more maintainable - and extensible. - </para> - - <para> - The most common pattern in a multi-user client/server application is - <emphasis>session-per-request</emphasis>. In this model, a request from the client - is sent to the server (where the Hibernate persistence layer runs), a new Hibernate - <literal>Session</literal> is opened, and all database operations are executed in this unit - of work. Once the work has been completed (and the response for the client has been prepared), - the session is flushed and closed. You would also use a single database transaction to - serve the clients request, starting and committing it when you open and close the - <literal>Session</literal>. The relationship between the two is one-to-one and this - model is a perfect fit for many applications. - </para> - - <para> - The challenge lies in the implementation. Hibernate provides built-in management of - the "current session" to simplify this pattern. All you have to do is start a - transaction when a server request has to be processed, and end the transaction - before the response is sent to the client. You can do this in any way you - like, common solutions are <literal>ServletFilter</literal>, AOP interceptor with a - pointcut on the service methods, or a proxy/interception container. An EJB container - is a standardized way to implement cross-cutting aspects such as transaction - demarcation on EJB session beans, declaratively with CMT. If you decide to - use programmatic transaction demarcation, prefer the Hibernate <literal>Transaction</literal> - API shown later in this chapter, for ease of use and code portability. - </para> - - <para> - Your application code can access a "current session" to process the request - by simply calling <literal>sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()</literal> anywhere - and as often as needed. You will always get a <literal>Session</literal> scoped - to the current database transaction. This has to be configured for either - resource-local or JTA environments, see <xref linkend="architecture-current-session"/>. - </para> - - <para> - Sometimes it is convenient to extend the scope of a <literal>Session</literal> and - database transaction until the "view has been rendered". This is especially useful - in servlet applications that utilize a separate rendering phase after the request - has been processed. Extending the database transaction until view rendering is - complete is easy to do if you implement your own interceptor. However, it is not - easily doable if you rely on EJBs with container-managed transactions, as a - transaction will be completed when an EJB method returns, before rendering of any - view can start. See the Hibernate website and forum for tips and examples around - this <emphasis>Open Session in View</emphasis> pattern. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="transactions-basics-apptx" revision="1"> - <title>Long conversations</title> - - <para> - The session-per-request pattern is not the only useful concept you can use to design - units of work. Many business processes require a whole series of interactions with the user - interleaved with database accesses. In web and enterprise applications it is - not acceptable for a database transaction to span a user interaction. Consider the following - example: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - The first screen of a dialog opens, the data seen by the user has been loaded in - a particular <literal>Session</literal> and database transaction. The user is free to - modify the objects. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The user clicks "Save" after 5 minutes and expects his modifications to be made - persistent; he also expects that he was the only person editing this information and - that no conflicting modification can occur. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - We call this unit of work, from the point of view of the user, a long running - <emphasis>conversation</emphasis> (or <emphasis>application transaction</emphasis>). - There are many ways how you can implement this in your application. - </para> - - <para> - A first naive implementation might keep the <literal>Session</literal> and database - transaction open during user think time, with locks held in the database to prevent - concurrent modification, and to guarantee isolation and atomicity. This is of course - an anti-pattern, since lock contention would not allow the application to scale with - the number of concurrent users. - </para> - - <para> - Clearly, we have to use several database transactions to implement the conversation. - In this case, maintaining isolation of business processes becomes the - partial responsibility of the application tier. A single conversation - usually spans several database transactions. It will be atomic if only one of - these database transactions (the last one) stores the updated data, all others - simply read data (e.g. in a wizard-style dialog spanning several request/response - cycles). This is easier to implement than it might sound, especially if - you use Hibernate's features: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Automatic Versioning</emphasis> - Hibernate can do automatic - optimistic concurrency control for you, it can automatically detect - if a concurrent modification occurred during user think time. Usually - we only check at the end of the conversation. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Detached Objects</emphasis> - If you decide to use the already - discussed <emphasis>session-per-request</emphasis> pattern, all loaded instances - will be in detached state during user think time. Hibernate allows you to - reattach the objects and persist the modifications, the pattern is called - <emphasis>session-per-request-with-detached-objects</emphasis>. Automatic - versioning is used to isolate concurrent modifications. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Extended (or Long) Session</emphasis> - The Hibernate - <literal>Session</literal> may be disconnected from the underlying JDBC - connection after the database transaction has been committed, and reconnected - when a new client request occurs. This pattern is known as - <emphasis>session-per-conversation</emphasis> and makes - even reattachment unnecessary. Automatic versioning is used to isolate - concurrent modifications and the <literal>Session</literal> is usually - not allowed to be flushed automatically, but explicitly. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - Both <emphasis>session-per-request-with-detached-objects</emphasis> and - <emphasis>session-per-conversation</emphasis> have advantages and disadvantages, - we discuss them later in this chapter in the context of optimistic concurrency control. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="transactions-basics-identity"> - <title>Considering object identity</title> - - <para> - An application may concurrently access the same persistent state in two - different <literal>Session</literal>s. However, an instance of a persistent class - is never shared between two <literal>Session</literal> instances. Hence there are - two different notions of identity: - </para> - - <variablelist spacing="compact"> - <varlistentry> - <term>Database Identity</term> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>foo.getId().equals( bar.getId() )</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>JVM Identity</term> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>foo==bar</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - </variablelist> - - <para> - Then for objects attached to a <emphasis>particular</emphasis> <literal>Session</literal> - (i.e. in the scope of a <literal>Session</literal>) the two notions are equivalent, and - JVM identity for database identity is guaranteed by Hibernate. However, while the application - might concurrently access the "same" (persistent identity) business object in two different - sessions, the two instances will actually be "different" (JVM identity). Conflicts are - resolved using (automatic versioning) at flush/commit time, using an optimistic approach. - </para> - - <para> - This approach leaves Hibernate and the database to worry about concurrency; it also provides - the best scalability, since guaranteeing identity in single-threaded units of work only doesn't - need expensive locking or other means of synchronization. The application never needs to - synchronize on any business object, as long as it sticks to a single thread per - <literal>Session</literal>. Within a <literal>Session</literal> the application may safely use - <literal>==</literal> to compare objects. - </para> - - <para> - However, an application that uses <literal>==</literal> outside of a <literal>Session</literal>, - might see unexpected results. This might occur even in some unexpected places, for example, - if you put two detached instances into the same <literal>Set</literal>. Both might have the same - database identity (i.e. they represent the same row), but JVM identity is by definition not - guaranteed for instances in detached state. The developer has to override the <literal>equals()</literal> - and <literal>hashCode()</literal> methods in persistent classes and implement - his own notion of object equality. There is one caveat: Never use the database - identifier to implement equality, use a business key, a combination of unique, usually - immutable, attributes. The database identifier will change if a transient object is made - persistent. If the transient instance (usually together with detached instances) is held in a - <literal>Set</literal>, changing the hashcode breaks the contract of the <literal>Set</literal>. - Attributes for business keys don't have to be as stable as database primary keys, you only - have to guarantee stability as long as the objects are in the same <literal>Set</literal>. See - the Hibernate website for a more thorough discussion of this issue. Also note that this is not - a Hibernate issue, but simply how Java object identity and equality has to be implemented. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="transactions-basics-issues"> - <title>Common issues</title> - - <para> - Never use the anti-patterns <emphasis>session-per-user-session</emphasis> or - <emphasis>session-per-application</emphasis> (of course, there are rare exceptions to - this rule).

One solution for this is to call <literal>clear()</literal> and <literal>evict()</literal> - to manage the <literal>Session</literal> cache, but you most likely should consider a - Stored Procedure if you need mass data operations.

Certainly, - a single database transaction is going to perform better than many small transactions, even - for reading data. - </para> - - <para> - A Hibernate application can run in non-managed (i.e. standalone, simple Web- or Swing applications) - and managed J2EE environments.

If you are new or uncomfortable with either, it is advised - that you start with a good introduction to that technology prior - to attempting to learn Hibernate. It will save time and effort - in the long run. - </para> - </important> - - <note> - <para> - There is another tutorial/example application in the - <filename>/tutorials/eg</filename> directory of the project source. - That example is console based and as such would not have the - dependency on a servlet container to execute. The basic setup is - the same as the instructions below. - </para> - </note> - - <sect1 id="tutorial-firstapp"> - <title>Part 1 - The first Hibernate Application</title> - - <para> - Let's assume we need a small database application that can store - events we want to attend, and information about the host(s) of - these events. We will use an in-memory, Java database named HSQLDB - to avoid describing installation/setup of any particular database - servers. Feel free to tweak this tutorial to use whatever database - you feel comfortable using. - </para> - - <para> - The first thing we need to do is set up our development environment, - and specifically to setup all the required dependencies to Hibernate - as well as other libraries. Hibernate is built using Maven which - amongst other features provides <literal>dependecy management</literal>; - moreover it provides <emphasis>transitive</emphasis> - <literal>dependecy management</literal> which simply means that to use - Hibernate we can simply define our dependency on Hibernate, Hibernate - itself defines the dependencies it needs which then become transitive - dependencies of our project. - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[. -<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"> - - ... - - <dependencies> - <dependency> - <groupId>${groupId}</groupId> - <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId> - </dependency> - - <!-- Because this is a web app, we also have a dependency on the servlet api. --> - <dependency> - <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> - <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> - </dependency> - </dependencies> - -</project>]]></programlisting> - - <note> - <para> - Essentially we are describing here the - <filename>/tutorials/web/pom.xml</filename> file. See the - <ulink url="http://maven.org">Maven</ulink> site for more information. - </para> - </note> - - <tip> - <para> - While not strictly necessary, most IDEs have integration with Maven - to read these POM files and automatically set up a project for you - which can save lots of time and effort. - </para> - </tip> - - <para> - Next we create a class that represents the event we want to store in database. - </para> - - <sect2 id="tutorial-firstapp-firstclass"> - <title>The first class</title> - - <para> - Our first persistent class is a simple JavaBean class with some properties: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[package org.hibernate.tutorial.domain; - -import java.util.Date; - -public class Event { - private Long id; - - private String title; - private Date date; - - public Event() {} - - public Long getId() { - return id; - } - - private void setId(Long id) { - this.id = id; - } - - public Date getDate() { - return date; - } - - public void setDate(Date date) { - this.date = date; - } - - public String getTitle() { - return title; - } - - public void setTitle(String title) { - this.title = title; - } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - You can see that this class uses standard JavaBean naming conventions for property - getter and setter methods, as well as private visibility for the fields. This is - a recommended design - but not required. Hibernate can also access fields directly, - the benefit of accessor methods is robustness for refactoring. The no-argument - constructor is required to instantiate an object of this class through reflection. - </para> - - <para> - The <literal>id</literal> property holds a unique identifier value for a particular event. - All persistent entity classes (there are less important dependent classes as well) will need - such an identifier property if we want to use the full feature set of Hibernate. In fact, - most applications (esp. web applications) need to distinguish objects by identifier, so you - should consider this a feature rather than a limitation. However, we usually don't manipulate - the identity of an object, hence the setter method should be private. Only Hibernate will assign - identifiers when an object is saved. You can see that Hibernate can access public, private, - and protected accessor methods, as well as (public, private, protected) fields directly. The - choice is up to you and you can match it to fit your application design. - </para> - - <para> - The no-argument constructor is a requirement for all persistent classes; Hibernate - has to create objects for you, using Java Reflection. The constructor can be - private, however, package visibility is required for runtime proxy generation and - efficient data retrieval without bytecode instrumentation. - </para> - - <para> - Place this Java source file in a directory called <literal>src</literal> in the - development folder, and in its correct package. The directory should now look like this: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[. -+lib - <Hibernate and third-party libraries> -+src - +events - Event.java]]></programlisting> - - <para> - In the next step, we tell Hibernate about this persistent class. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="tutorial-firstapp-mapping"> - <title>The mapping file</title> - - <para> - Hibernate needs to know how to load and store objects of the persistent class. - This is where the Hibernate mapping file comes into play. The mapping file - tells Hibernate what table in the database it has to access, and what columns - in that table it should use. - </para> - - <para> - The basic structure of a mapping file looks like this: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0"?> -<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC - "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" - "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> - -<hibernate-mapping> -[...] -</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Note that the Hibernate DTD is very sophisticated. You can use it for - auto-completion of XML mapping elements and attributes in your editor or - IDE. You also should open up the DTD file in your text editor - it's the - easiest way to get an overview of all elements and attributes and to see - the defaults, as well as some comments. Note that Hibernate will not - load the DTD file from the web, but first look it up from the classpath - of the application. The DTD file is included in <literal>hibernate3.jar</literal> - as well as in the <literal>src/</literal> directory of the Hibernate distribution. - </para> - - <para> - We will omit the DTD declaration in future examples to shorten the code. It is - of course not optional. - </para> - - <para> - Between the two <literal>hibernate-mapping</literal> tags, include a - <literal>class</literal> element. All persistent entity classes (again, there - might be dependent classes later on, which are not first-class entities) need - such a mapping, to a table in the SQL database: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping> - - <class name="events.Event" table="EVENTS"> - - </class> - -</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - So far we told Hibernate how to persist and load object of class <literal>Event</literal> - to the table <literal>EVENTS</literal>, each instance represented by a row in that table. - Now we continue with a mapping of the unique identifier property to the tables primary key. - In addition, as we don't want to care about handling this identifier, we configure Hibernate's - identifier generation strategy for a surrogate primary key column: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping> - - <class name="events.Event" table="EVENTS"> - <id name="id" column="EVENT_ID"> - <generator class="native"/> - </id> - </class> - -</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The <literal>id</literal> element is the declaration of the identifier property, - <literal>name="id"</literal> declares the name of the Java property - - Hibernate will use the getter and setter methods to access the property. - The column attribute tells Hibernate which column of the - <literal>EVENTS</literal> table we use for this primary key. The nested - <literal>generator</literal> element specifies the identifier generation strategy, - in this case we used <literal>native</literal>, which picks the best strategy depending - on the configured database (dialect). Hibernate supports database generated, globally - unique, as well as application assigned identifiers (or any strategy you have written - an extension for). - </para> - - <para> - Finally we include declarations for the persistent properties of the class in - the mapping file. By default, no properties of the class are considered - persistent: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[ -<hibernate-mapping> - - <class name="events.Event" table="EVENTS"> - <id name="id" column="EVENT_ID"> - <generator class="native"/> - </id> - <property name="date" type="timestamp" column="EVENT_DATE"/> - <property name="title"/> - </class> - -</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Just as with the <literal>id</literal> element, the <literal>name</literal> - attribute of the <literal>property</literal> element tells Hibernate which getter - and setter methods to use. So, in this case, Hibernate will look for - <literal>getDate()/setDate()</literal>, as well as <literal>getTitle()/setTitle()</literal>. - </para> - - <para> - Why does the <literal>date</literal> property mapping include the - <literal>column</literal> attribute, but the <literal>title</literal> - doesn't? Without the <literal>column</literal> attribute Hibernate - by default uses the property name as the column name. This works fine for - <literal>title</literal>. However, <literal>date</literal> is a reserved - keyword in most database, so we better map it to a different name. - </para> - - <para> - The next interesting thing is that the <literal>title</literal> mapping also lacks - a <literal>type</literal> attribute. The types we declare and use in the mapping - files are not, as you might expect, Java data types. They are also not SQL - database types. These types are so called <emphasis>Hibernate mapping types</emphasis>, - converters which can translate from Java to SQL data types and vice versa. Again, - Hibernate will try to determine the correct conversion and mapping type itself if - the <literal>type</literal> attribute is not present in the mapping. In some cases this - automatic detection (using Reflection on the Java class) might not have the default you - expect or need. This is the case with the <literal>date</literal> property. Hibernate can't - know if the property (which is of <literal>java.util.Date</literal>) should map to a - SQL <literal>date</literal>, <literal>timestamp</literal>, or <literal>time</literal> column. - We preserve full date and time information by mapping the property with a - <literal>timestamp</literal> converter. - </para> - - <para> - This mapping file should be saved as <literal>Event.hbm.xml</literal>, right in - the directory next to the <literal>Event</literal> Java class source file. - The naming of mapping files can be arbitrary, however the <literal>hbm.xml</literal> - suffix is a convention in the Hibernate developer community. The directory structure - should now look like this: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[. -+lib - <Hibernate and third-party libraries> -+src - +events - Event.java - Event.hbm.xml]]></programlisting> - - <para> - We continue with the main configuration of Hibernate. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="tutorial-firstapp-configuration" revision="2"> - <title>Hibernate configuration</title> - - <para> - We now have a persistent class and its mapping file in place. It is time to configure - Hibernate. Before we do this, we will need a database. HSQL DB, a java-based SQL DBMS, - can be downloaded from the HSQL DB website(http://hsqldb.org/). Actually, you only need the <literal>hsqldb.jar</literal> - from this download. Place this file in the <literal>lib/</literal> directory of the - development folder. - </para> - - <para> - Create a directory called <literal>data</literal> in the root of the development directory - - this is where HSQL DB will store its data files. Now start the database by running - <literal>java -classpath ../lib/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.Server</literal> in this data directory. - You can see it start up and bind to a TCP/IP socket, this is where our application - will connect later. If you want to start with a fresh database during this tutorial, - shutdown HSQL DB (press <literal>CTRL + C</literal> in the window), delete all files in the - <literal>data/</literal> directory, and start HSQL DB again. - </para> - - <para> - Hibernate is the layer in your application which connects to this database, so it needs - connection information. The connections are made through a JDBC connection pool, which we - also have to configure. The Hibernate distribution contains several open source JDBC connection - pooling tools, but will use the Hibernate built-in connection pool for this tutorial. Note that - you have to copy the required library into your classpath and use different - connection pooling settings if you want to use a production-quality third party - JDBC pooling software. - </para> - - <para> - For Hibernate's configuration, we can use a simple <literal>hibernate.properties</literal> file, a - slightly more sophisticated <literal>hibernate.cfg.xml</literal> file, or even complete - programmatic setup.

Let's have a look at the <literal>Session</literal> and - <literal>Transaction</literal>-handling code before we run this. - </para> - - <para> - A <literal>Session</literal> is a single unit of work. For now we'll keep things - simple and assume a one-to-one granularity between a Hibernate <literal>Session</literal> - and a database transaction. To shield our code from the actual underlying transaction - system (in this case plain JDBC, but it could also run with JTA) we use the - <literal>Transaction</literal> API that is available on the Hibernate <literal>Session</literal>. - </para> - - <para> - What does <literal>sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()</literal> do? First, you can call it - as many times and anywhere you like, once you get hold of your <literal>SessionFactory</literal> - (easy thanks to <literal>HibernateUtil</literal>). The <literal>getCurrentSession()</literal> - method always returns the "current" unit of work. Remember that we switched the configuration - option for this mechanism to "thread" in <literal>hibernate.cfg.xml</literal>? Hence, - the current unit of work is bound to the current Java thread that executes our application. - However, this is not the full picture, you also have to consider scope, when a unit of work - begins and when it ends. - </para> - - <para> - A <literal>Session</literal> begins when it is first needed, when the first call to - <literal>getCurrentSession()</literal> is made. It is then bound by Hibernate to the current - thread. When the transaction ends, either through commit or rollback, Hibernate automatically - unbinds the <literal>Session</literal> from the thread and closes it for you. If you call - <literal>getCurrentSession()</literal> again, you get a new <literal>Session</literal> and can - start a new unit of work. This <emphasis>thread-bound</emphasis> programming model is the most - popular way of using Hibernate, as it allows flexible layering of your code (transaction - demarcation code can be separated from data access code, we'll do this later in this tutorial). - </para> - - <para> - Related to the unit of work scope, should the Hibernate <literal>Session</literal> be used to - execute one or several database operations? The above example uses one <literal>Session</literal> - for one operation. This is pure coincidence, the example is just not complex enough to show any - other approach. The scope of a Hibernate <literal>Session</literal> is flexible but you should - never design your application to use a new Hibernate <literal>Session</literal> for - <emphasis>every</emphasis> database operation. So even if you see it a few more times in - the following (very trivial) examples, consider <emphasis>session-per-operation</emphasis> - an anti-pattern. A real (web) application is shown later in this tutorial. - </para> - - <para> - Have a look at <xref linkend="transactions"/> for more information - about transaction handling and demarcation. We also skipped any error handling and - rollback in the previous example. - </para> - - <para> - To run this first routine we have to add a callable target to the Ant build file: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[<target name="run" depends="compile"> - <java fork="true" classname="events.EventManager" classpathref="libraries"> - <classpath path="${targetdir}"/> - <arg value="${action}"/> - </java> -</target>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The value of the <literal>action</literal> argument is set on the command line when - calling the target: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[C:\hibernateTutorial\>ant run -Daction=store]]></programlisting> - - <para> - You should see, after compilation, Hibernate starting up and, depending on your - configuration, lots of log output. At the end you will find the following line: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[[java] Hibernate: insert into EVENTS (EVENT_DATE, title, EVENT_ID) values (?, ?, ?)]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This is the <literal>INSERT</literal> executed by Hibernate, the question marks - represent JDBC bind parameters.
