The first thing we need to do is to set up the development environment. We will be using the "standard layout" advocated by alot of build tools such as Maven. Maven, in particular, has a good resource describing this layout. As this tutorial is to be a web application, we will be creating and making use ofsrc/main/java, src/main/resources and src/main/webapp directories.

We will be using Maven in this tutorial, taking advantage of its transitive dependency management capabilities as well as the ability of many IDEs to automatically set up a project for us based on the maven descriptor.

Save this file as pom.xml in the project root directory.

Next, we create a class that represents the event we want to store in the database; it is a simple JavaBean class with some properties:

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;
    }
}

This class uses standard JavaBean naming conventions for property getter and setter methods, as well as private visibility for the fields. Although this is the recommended design, it is not required. Hibernate can also access fields directly, the benefit of accessor methods is robustness for refactoring.

The id 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, especially web applications, need to distinguish objects by identifier, so you should consider this a feature rather than a limitation. However, we usually do not manipulate the identity of an object, hence the setter method should be private. Only Hibernate will assign identifiers when an object is saved. Hibernate can access public, private, and protected accessor methods, as well as public, private and protected fields directly. The choice is up to you and you can match it to fit your application design.

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 or public visibility is required for runtime proxy generation and efficient data retrieval without bytecode instrumentation.

Save this file to the src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorial/domain directory.

Hibernate는 영속 크래스들에 대한 객체들을 로드시키고 저장시키는 방법을 알 필요가 있다. 이곳은 Hibernate 매핑 파일이 역할을 행하는 곳이다. 매핑 파일은 Hibernate가 접근해야 하는 데이터베이스 내의 테이블이 무엇인지, 그리고 그것이 사용해야 하는 그 테이블 내의 컬럼들이 무엇인지를 Hibernate에게 알려준다.

매핑 파일의 기본 구조는 다음과 같다:

<?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 package="org.hibernate.tutorial.domain">
[...]
</hibernate-mapping>

Hibernate DTD is sophisticated. You can use it for auto-completion of XML mapping elements and attributes in your editor or IDE. Opening up the DTD file in your text editor is the easiest way to get an overview of all elements and attributes, and to view the defaults, as well as some comments. 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 hibernate-core.jar (it is also included in the hibernate3.jar, if using the distribution bundle).

Between the two hibernate-mapping tags, include a class element. All persistent entity classes (again, there might be dependent classes later on, which are not first-class entities) need a mapping to a table in the SQL database:

<hibernate-mapping package="org.hibernate.tutorial.domain">

    <class name="Event" table="EVENTS">

    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

So far we have told Hibernate how to persist and load object of class Event to the table EVENTS. Each instance is now represented by a row in that table. Now we can continue by mapping the unique identifier property to the tables primary key. As we do not want to care about handling this identifier, we configure Hibernate's identifier generation strategy for a surrogate primary key column:

<hibernate-mapping package="org.hibernate.tutorial.domain">

    <class name="Event" table="EVENTS">
        <id name="id" column="EVENT_ID">
            <generator class="native"/>
        </id>
    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

The id element is the declaration of the identifier property. The name="id" mapping attribute declares the name of the JavaBean property and tells Hibernate to use the getId() and setId() methods to access the property. The column attribute tells Hibernate which column of the EVENTS table holds the primary key value.

The nested generator element specifies the identifier generation strategy (aka how are identifier values generated?). In this case we choose native, which offers a level of portability depending on the configured database dialect. Hibernate supports database generated, globally unique, as well as application assigned, identifiers. Identifier value generation is also one of Hibernate's many extension points and you can plugin in your own strategy.

Lastly, we need to tell Hibernate about the remaining entity class properties. By default, no properties of the class are considered persistent:

<hibernate-mapping package="org.hibernate.tutorial.domain">

    <class name="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>

Similar to the id element, the name attribute of the property element tells Hibernate which getter and setter methods to use. In this case, Hibernate will search for getDate(), setDate(), getTitle() and setTitle()methods.

The title mapping also lacks a type attribute. The types declared and used in the mapping files are not Java data types; they are not SQL database types either. These types are called Hibernate mapping types, 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 type 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 date property. Hibernate cannot know if the property, which is of java.util.Date, should map to a SQL date, timestamp, or time column. Full date and time information is preserved by mapping the property with a timestamp converter.

Save this mapping file as src/main/resources/org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Event.hbm.xml.

At this point, you should have the persistent class and its mapping file in place. It is now time to configure Hibernate. First let's set up HSQLDB to run in "server mode"

We will utilize the Maven exec plugin to launch the HSQLDB server by running:mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.hsqldb.Server" -Dexec.args="-database.0 file:target/data/tutorial"You will 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 HSQLDB, delete all files in thetarget/data directory, and start HSQLDB again.

Hibernate will be connecting to the database on behalf of your application, so it needs to know how to obtain connections. For this tutorial we will be using a standalone connection pool (as opposed to ajavax.sql.DataSource). Hibernate comes with support for two third-party open source JDBC connection pools: c3p0 and proxool. However, we will be using the Hibernate built-in connection pool for this tutorial.

For Hibernate's configuration, we can use a simple hibernate.properties file, a more sophisticatedhibernate.cfg.xml file, or even complete programmatic setup. Most users prefer the XML configuration file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory>

        <!-- Database connection settings -->
        <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost</property>
        <property name="connection.username">sa</property>
        <property name="connection.password"></property>

        <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

        <!-- SQL dialect -->
        <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>

        <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

        <!-- Disable the second-level cache  -->
        <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>

        <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>

        <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>

        <mapping resource="org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Event.hbm.xml"/>

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

You configure Hibernate's SessionFactory. SessionFactory is a global factory responsible for a particular database. If you have several databases, for easier startup you should use several <session-factory>configurations in several configuration files.

The first four property elements contain the necessary configuration for the JDBC connection. The dialectproperty element specifies the particular SQL variant Hibernate generates.

Hibernate's automatic session management for persistence contexts is particularly useful in this context. The hbm2ddl.auto option turns on automatic generation of database schemas directly into the database. This can also be turned off by removing the configuration option, or redirected to a file with the help of the SchemaExport Ant task. Finally, add the mapping file(s) for persistent classes to the configuration.

Save this file as hibernate.cfg.xml into the src/main/resources directory.

We will now build the tutorial with Maven. You will need to have Maven installed; it is available from theMaven download page. Maven will read the /pom.xml file we created earlier and know how to perform some basic project tasks. First, lets run the compile goal to make sure we can compile everything so far:

It is time to load and store some Event objects, but first you have to complete the setup with some infrastructure code. You have to startup Hibernate by building a global org.hibernate.SessionFactory object and storing it somewhere for easy access in application code. A org.hibernate.SessionFactory is used to obtain org.hibernate.Session instances. A org.hibernate.Session represents a single-threaded unit of work. The org.hibernate.SessionFactory is a thread-safe global object that is instantiated once.

We will create a HibernateUtil helper class that takes care of startup and makes accessing theorg.hibernate.SessionFactory more convenient.

package org.hibernate.tutorial.util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
            return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

}

Save this code as src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorial/util/HibernateUtil.java

This class not only produces the global org.hibernate.SessionFactory reference in its static initializer; it also hides the fact that it uses a static singleton. We might just as well have looked up theorg.hibernate.SessionFactory reference from JNDI in an application server or any other location for that matter.

If you give the org.hibernate.SessionFactory a name in your configuration, Hibernate will try to bind it to JNDI under that name after it has been built. Another, better option is to use a JMX deployment and let the JMX-capable container instantiate and bind a HibernateService to JNDI. Such advanced options are discussed later.

You now need to configure a logging system. Hibernate uses commons logging and provides two choices: Log4j and JDK 1.4 logging. Most developers prefer Log4j: copy log4j.properties from the Hibernate distribution in the etc/ directory to your src directory, next to hibernate.cfg.xml. If you prefer to have more verbose output than that provided in the example configuration, you can change the settings. By default, only the Hibernate startup message is shown on stdout.

The tutorial infrastructure is complete and you are now ready to do some real work with Hibernate.

We are now ready to start doing some real worjk with Hibernate. Let's start by writing an EventManagerclass with a main() method:

package org.hibernate.tutorial;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import java.util.*;

import org.hibernate.tutorial.domain.Event;
import org.hibernate.tutorial.util.HibernateUtil;

public class EventManager {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventManager mgr = new EventManager();

        if (args[0].equals("store")) {
            mgr.createAndStoreEvent("My Event", new Date());
        }

        HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().close();
    }

    private void createAndStoreEvent(String title, Date theDate) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Event theEvent = new Event();
        theEvent.setTitle(title);
        theEvent.setDate(theDate);
        session.save(theEvent);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }

}

In createAndStoreEvent() we created a new Event object and handed it over to Hibernate. At that point, Hibernate takes care of the SQL and executes an INSERT on the database.

A org.hibernate.Session is designed to represent a single unit of work (a single atmoic piece of work to be performed). For now we will keep things simple and assume a one-to-one granularity between a Hibernate org.hibernate.Session and a database transaction. To shield our code from the actual underlying transaction system we use the Hibernate org.hibernate.Transaction API. In this particular case we are using JDBC-based transactional semantics, but it could also run with JTA.

What does sessionFactory.getCurrentSession() do? First, you can call it as many times and anywhere you like once you get hold of your org.hibernate.SessionFactory. The getCurrentSession() method always returns the "current" unit of work. Remember that we switched the configuration option for this mechanism to "thread" in our src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml? Due to that setting, the context of a current unit of work is bound to the current Java thread that executes the application.

A org.hibernate.Session begins when the first call to getCurrentSession() is made for the current thread. It is then bound by Hibernate to the current thread. When the transaction ends, either through commit or rollback, Hibernate automatically unbinds the org.hibernate.Session from the thread and closes it for you. If you call getCurrentSession() again, you get a new org.hibernate.Session and can start a new unit of work.

Related to the unit of work scope, should the Hibernate org.hibernate.Session be used to execute one or several database operations? The above example uses one org.hibernate.Session for one operation. However this is pure coincidence; the example is just not complex enough to show any other approach. The scope of a Hibernate org.hibernate.Session is flexible but you should never design your application to use a new Hibernate org.hibernate.Session for every database operation. Even though it is used in the following examples, consider session-per-operation an anti-pattern. A real web application is shown later in the tutorial which will help illustrate this.

See 11장. Transactions and Concurrency for more information about transaction handling and demarcation. The previous example also skipped any error handling and rollback.

To run this, we will make use of the Maven exec plugin to call our class with the necessary classpath setup:mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.hibernate.tutorial.EventManager" -Dexec.args="store"

You should see Hibernate starting up and, depending on your configuration, lots of log output. Towards the end, the following line will be displayed:

[java] Hibernate: insert into EVENTS (EVENT_DATE, title, EVENT_ID) values (?, ?, ?)

This is the INSERT executed by Hibernate.

To list stored events an option is added to the main method:

        if (args[0].equals("store")) {
            mgr.createAndStoreEvent("My Event", new Date());
        }
        else if (args[0].equals("list")) {
            List events = mgr.listEvents();
            for (int i = 0; i < events.size(); i++) {
                Event theEvent = (Event) events.get(i);
                System.out.println(
                        "Event: " + theEvent.getTitle() + " Time: " + theEvent.getDate()
                );
            }
        }

A new listEvents() method is also added:

    private List listEvents() {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        List result = session.createQuery("from Event").list();
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        return result;
    }

Here, we are using a Hibernate Query Language (HQL) query to load all existing Event objects from the database. Hibernate will generate the appropriate SQL, send it to the database and populate Eventobjects with the data. You can create more complex queries with HQL. See 14장. HQL: 하이버네이트 질의 언어(Hibernate Query Language) for more information.

Now we can call our new functionality, again using the Maven exec plugin:mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.hibernate.tutorial.EventManager" -Dexec.args="list"

The first cut of the Person class looks like this:

package org.hibernate.tutorial.domain;

public class Person {

    private Long id;
    private int age;
    private String firstname;
    private String lastname;

    public Person() {}

    // Accessor methods for all properties, private setter for 'id'

}

Save this to a file named src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Person.java

Next, create the new mapping file assrc/main/resources/org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Person.hbm.xml

<hibernate-mapping package="org.hibernate.tutorial.domain">

    <class name="Person" table="PERSON">
        <id name="id" column="PERSON_ID">
            <generator class="native"/>
        </id>
        <property name="age"/>
        <property name="firstname"/>
        <property name="lastname"/>
    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

마지막으로 새로운 매핑을 Hibernate의 구성에 추가하라:

<mapping resource="events/Event.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="events/Person.hbm.xml"/>

Create an association between these two entities. Persons can participate in events, and events have participants. The design questions you have to deal with are: directionality, multiplicity, and collection behavior.

By adding a collection of events to the Person class, you can easily navigate to the events for a particular person, without executing an explicit query - by calling Person#getEvents. Multi-valued associations are represented in Hibernate by one of the Java Collection Framework contracts; here we choose ajava.util.Set because the collection will not contain duplicate elements and the ordering is not relevant to our examples:

public class Person {

    private Set events = new HashSet();

    public Set getEvents() {
        return events;
    }

    public void setEvents(Set events) {
        this.events = events;
    }
}

Before mapping this association, let's consider the other side. We could just keep this unidirectional or create another collection on the Event, if we wanted to be able to navigate it from both directions. This is not necessary, from a functional perspective. You can always execute an explicit query to retrieve the participants for a particular event. This is a design choice left to you, but what is clear from this discussion is the multiplicity of the association: "many" valued on both sides is called a many-to-manyassociation. Hence, we use Hibernate's many-to-many mapping:

<class name="Person" table="PERSON">
    <id name="id" column="PERSON_ID">
        <generator class="native"/>
    </id>
    <property name="age"/>
    <property name="firstname"/>
    <property name="lastname"/>

    <set name="events" table="PERSON_EVENT">
        <key column="PERSON_ID"/>
        <many-to-many column="EVENT_ID" class="Event"/>
    </set>

</class>

Hibernate supports a broad range of collection mappings, a set being most common. For a many-to-many association, or n:m entity relationship, an association table is required. Each row in this table represents a link between a person and an event. The table name is decalred using the table attribute of the set element. The identifier column name in the association, for the person side, is defined with thekey element, the column name for the event's side with the column attribute of the many-to-many. You also have to tell Hibernate the class of the objects in your collection (the class on the other side of the collection of references).

따라서 이 매핑을 위한 데이터베이스 스키마는 다음과 같다:

    _____________        __________________
   |             |      |                  |       _____________
   |   EVENTS    |      |   PERSON_EVENT   |      |             |
   |_____________|      |__________________|      |    PERSON   |
   |             |      |                  |      |_____________|
   | *EVENT_ID   | <--> | *EVENT_ID        |      |             |
   |  EVENT_DATE |      | *PERSON_ID       | <--> | *PERSON_ID  |
   |  TITLE      |      |__________________|      |  AGE        |
   |_____________|                                |  FIRSTNAME  |
                                                  |  LASTNAME   |
                                                  |_____________|
 

Now we will bring some people and events together in a new method in EventManager:

    private void addPersonToEvent(Long personId, Long eventId) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Person aPerson = (Person) session.load(Person.class, personId);
        Event anEvent = (Event) session.load(Event.class, eventId);
        aPerson.getEvents().add(anEvent);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }

After loading a Person and an Event, simply modify the collection using the normal collection methods. There is no explicit call to update() or save(); Hibernate automatically detects that the collection has been modified and needs to be updated. This is called automatic dirty checking. You can also try it by modifying the name or the date property of any of your objects. As long as they are in persistent state, that is, bound to a particular Hibernate org.hibernate.Session, Hibernate monitors any changes and executes SQL in a write-behind fashion. The process of synchronizing the memory state with the database, usually only at the end of a unit of work, is called flushing. In our code, the unit of work ends with a commit, or rollback, of the database transaction.

You can load person and event in different units of work. Or you can modify an object outside of aorg.hibernate.Session, when it is not in persistent state (if it was persistent before, this state is calleddetached). You can even modify a collection when it is detached:

    private void addPersonToEvent(Long personId, Long eventId) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Person aPerson = (Person) session
                .createQuery("select p from Person p left join fetch p.events where p.id = :pid")
                .setParameter("pid", personId)
                .uniqueResult(); // Eager fetch the collection so we can use it detached
        Event anEvent = (Event) session.load(Event.class, eventId);

        session.getTransaction().commit();

        // End of first unit of work

        aPerson.getEvents().add(anEvent); // aPerson (and its collection) is detached

        // Begin second unit of work

        Session session2 = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session2.beginTransaction();
        session2.update(aPerson); // Reattachment of aPerson

        session2.getTransaction().commit();
    }

The call to update makes a detached object persistent again by binding it to a new unit of work, so any modifications you made to it while detached can be saved to the database. This includes any modifications (additions/deletions) you made to a collection of that entity object.

This is not much use in our example, but it is an important concept you can incorporate into your own application. Complete this exercise by adding a new action to the main method of the EventManager and call it from the command line. If you need the identifiers of a person and an event - the save() method returns it (you might have to modify some of the previous methods to return that identifier):

        else if (args[0].equals("addpersontoevent")) {
            Long eventId = mgr.createAndStoreEvent("My Event", new Date());
            Long personId = mgr.createAndStorePerson("Foo", "Bar");
            mgr.addPersonToEvent(personId, eventId);
            System.out.println("Added person " + personId + " to event " + eventId);
        }

This is an example of an association between two equally important classes : two entities. As mentioned earlier, there are other classes and types in a typical model, usually "less important". Some you have already seen, like an int or a java.lang.String. We call these classes value types, and their instances depend on a particular entity. Instances of these types do not have their own identity, nor are they shared between entities. Two persons do not reference the same firstname object, even if they have the same first name. Value types cannot only be found in the JDK , but you can also write dependent classes yourself such as an Address or MonetaryAmount class. In fact, in a Hibernate application all JDK classes are considered value types.

You can also design a collection of value types. This is conceptually different from a collection of references to other entities, but looks almost the same in Java.

Let's add a collection of email addresses to the Person entity. This will be represented as a java.util.Set ofjava.lang.String instances:

    private Set emailAddresses = new HashSet();

    public Set getEmailAddresses() {
        return emailAddresses;
    }

    public void setEmailAddresses(Set emailAddresses) {
        this.emailAddresses = emailAddresses;
    }

The mapping of this Set is as follows:

        <set name="emailAddresses" table="PERSON_EMAIL_ADDR">
            <key column="PERSON_ID"/>
            <element type="string" column="EMAIL_ADDR"/>
        </set>

The difference compared with the earlier mapping is the use of the element part which tells Hibernate that the collection does not contain references to another entity, but is rather a collection whose elements are values types, here specifically of type string. The lowercase name tells you it is a Hibernate mapping type/converter. Again the table attribute of the set element determines the table name for the collection. The key element defines the foreign-key column name in the collection table. The columnattribute in the element element defines the column name where the email address values will actually be stored.

Here is the updated schema:

  _____________        __________________
 |             |      |                  |       _____________
 |   EVENTS    |      |   PERSON_EVENT   |      |             |       ___________________
 |_____________|      |__________________|      |    PERSON   |      |                   |
 |             |      |                  |      |_____________|      | PERSON_EMAIL_ADDR |
 | *EVENT_ID   | <--> | *EVENT_ID        |      |             |      |___________________|
 |  EVENT_DATE |      | *PERSON_ID       | <--> | *PERSON_ID  | <--> |  *PERSON_ID       |
 |  TITLE      |      |__________________|      |  AGE        |      |  *EMAIL_ADDR      |
 |_____________|                                |  FIRSTNAME  |      |___________________|
                                                |  LASTNAME   |
                                                |_____________|
 

You can see that the primary key of the collection table is in fact a composite key that uses both columns. This also implies that there cannot be duplicate email addresses per person, which is exactly the semantics we need for a set in Java.

You can now try to add elements to this collection, just like we did before by linking persons and events. It is the same code in Java:

    private void addEmailToPerson(Long personId, String emailAddress) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Person aPerson = (Person) session.load(Person.class, personId);
        // adding to the emailAddress collection might trigger a lazy load of the collection
        aPerson.getEmailAddresses().add(emailAddress);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }

This time we did not use a fetch query to initialize the collection. Monitor the SQL log and try to optimize this with an eager fetch.

Next you will map a bi-directional association. You will make the association between person and event work from both sides in Java. The database schema does not change, so you will still have many-to-many multiplicity.

First, add a collection of participants to the Event class:

    private Set participants = new HashSet();

    public Set getParticipants() {
        return participants;
    }

    public void setParticipants(Set participants) {
        this.participants = participants;
    }

Now map this side of the association in Event.hbm.xml.

        <set name="participants" table="PERSON_EVENT" inverse="true">
            <key column="EVENT_ID"/>
            <many-to-many column="PERSON_ID" class="events.Person"/>
        </set>

These are normal set mappings in both mapping documents. Notice that the column names in key andmany-to-many swap in both mapping documents. The most important addition here is the inverse="true"attribute in the set element of the Event's collection mapping.

What this means is that Hibernate should take the other side, the Person class, when it needs to find out information about the link between the two. This will be a lot easier to understand once you see how the bi-directional link between our two entities is created.

First, keep in mind that Hibernate does not affect normal Java semantics. How did we create a link between a Person and an Event in the unidirectional example? You add an instance of Event to the collection of event references, of an instance of Person. If you want to make this link bi-directional, you have to do the same on the other side by adding a Person reference to the collection in an Event. This process of "setting the link on both sides" is absolutely necessary with bi-directional links.

Many developers program defensively and create link management methods to correctly set both sides (for example, in Person):

    protected Set getEvents() {
        return events;
    }

    protected void setEvents(Set events) {
        this.events = events;
    }

    public void addToEvent(Event event) {
        this.getEvents().add(event);
        event.getParticipants().add(this);
    }

    public void removeFromEvent(Event event) {
        this.getEvents().remove(event);
        event.getParticipants().remove(this);
    }

The get and set methods for the collection are now protected. This allows classes in the same package and subclasses to still access the methods, but prevents everybody else from altering the collections directly. Repeat the steps for the collection on the other side.

What about the inverse mapping attribute? For you, and for Java, a bi-directional link is simply a matter of setting the references on both sides correctly. Hibernate, however, does not have enough information to correctly arrange SQL INSERT and UPDATE statements (to avoid constraint violations). Making one side of the association inverse tells Hibernate to consider it a mirror of the other side. That is all that is necessary for Hibernate to resolve any issues that arise when transforming a directional navigation model to a SQL database schema. The rules are straightforward: all bi-directional associations need one side as inverse. In a one-to-many association it has to be the many-side, and in many-to-many association you can select either side.

First we need create our basic processing servlet. Since our servlet only handles HTTP GET requests, we will only implement the doGet() method:

package org.hibernate.tutorial.web;

// Imports

public class EventManagerServlet extends HttpServlet {

    protected void doGet(
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

        SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd.MM.yyyy" );

        try {
            // Begin unit of work
            HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();

            // Process request and render page...

            // End unit of work
            HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().getTransaction().commit();
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().getTransaction().rollback();
            if ( ServletException.class.isInstance( ex ) ) {
                throw ( ServletException ) ex;
            }
            else {
                throw new ServletException( ex );
            }
        }
    }

}

Save this servlet as src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorial/web/EventManagerServlet.java

The pattern applied here is called session-per-request. When a request hits the servlet, a new HibernateSession is opened through the first call to getCurrentSession() on the SessionFactory. A database transaction is then started. All data access occurs inside a transaction irrespective of whether the data is read or written. Do not use the auto-commit mode in applications.

모든 데이터베이스 오퍼레이션 각각에 대해 새로운 Hibernate Session을 사용하지 말라. 전체 요청에 대해 영역지워진 한 개의 Hibernate Session을 사용하라. 그것이 자동적으로 현재의 자바 쓰레드에 바인드되도록 getCurrentSession()을 사용하라.

Next, the possible actions of the request are processed and the response HTML is rendered. We will get to that part soon.

Finally, the unit of work ends when processing and rendering are complete. If any problems occurred during processing or rendering, an exception will be thrown and the database transaction rolled back. This completes the session-per-request pattern. Instead of the transaction demarcation code in every servlet, you could also write a servlet filter. See the Hibernate website and Wiki for more information about this pattern called Open Session in View. You will need it as soon as you consider rendering your view in JSP, not in a servlet.

Now you can implement the processing of the request and the rendering of the page.

        // Write HTML header
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html><head><title>Event Manager</title></head><body>");

        // Handle actions
        if ( "store".equals(request.getParameter("action")) ) {

            String eventTitle = request.getParameter("eventTitle");
            String eventDate = request.getParameter("eventDate");

            if ( "".equals(eventTitle) || "".equals(eventDate) ) {
                out.println("<b><i>Please enter event title and date.</i></b>");
            }
            else {
                createAndStoreEvent(eventTitle, dateFormatter.parse(eventDate));
                out.println("<b><i>Added event.</i></b>");
            }
        }

        // Print page
       printEventForm(out);
       listEvents(out, dateFormatter);

       // Write HTML footer
       out.println("</body></html>");
       out.flush();
       out.close();

This coding style, with a mix of Java and HTML, would not scale in a more complex application-keep in mind that we are only illustrating basic Hibernate concepts in this tutorial. The code prints an HTML header and a footer. Inside this page, an HTML form for event entry and a list of all events in the database are printed. The first method is trivial and only outputs HTML:

    private void printEventForm(PrintWriter out) {
        out.println("<h2>Add new event:</h2>");
        out.println("<form>");
        out.println("Title: <input name='eventTitle' length='50'/><br/>");
        out.println("Date (e.g. 24.12.2009): <input name='eventDate' length='10'/><br/>");
        out.println("<input type='submit' name='action' value='store'/>");
        out.println("</form>");
    }

listEvents() 메소드는 하나의 질의를 실행하기 위해서 현재의 쓰레드에 결합된 Hibernate Session을 사용한다:

    private void listEvents(PrintWriter out, SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter) {

        List result = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory()
                .getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Event.class).list();
        if (result.size() > 0) {
            out.println("<h2>Events in database:</h2>");
            out.println("<table border='1'>");
            out.println("<tr>");
            out.println("<th>Event title</th>");
            out.println("<th>Event date</th>");
            out.println("</tr>");
            Iterator it = result.iterator();
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                Event event = (Event) it.next();
                out.println("<tr>");
                out.println("<td>" + event.getTitle() + "</td>");
                out.println("<td>" + dateFormatter.format(event.getDate()) + "</td>");
                out.println("</tr>");
            }
            out.println("</table>");
        }
    }

마지막으로, store 액션은 createAndStoreEvent() 메소드로 디스패치된다. 그것은 현재 쓰레드의 Session을 사용한다:

    protected void createAndStoreEvent(String title, Date theDate) {
        Event theEvent = new Event();
        theEvent.setTitle(title);
        theEvent.setDate(theDate);

        HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory()
                .getCurrentSession().save(theEvent);
    }

The servlet is now complete. A request to the servlet will be processed in a single Session andTransaction. As earlier in the standalone application, Hibernate can automatically bind these objects to the current thread of execution. This gives you the freedom to layer your code and access theSessionFactory in any way you like. Usually you would use a more sophisticated design and move the data access code into data access objects (the DAO pattern). See the Hibernate Wiki for more examples.

To deploy this application for testing we must create a Web ARchive (WAR). First we must define the WAR descriptor as src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Event Manager</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.hibernate.tutorial.web.EventManagerServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Event Manager</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/eventmanager</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

To build and deploy call mvn package in your project directory and copy the hibernate-tutorial.war file into your Tomcat webapps directory.

일단 배치했고 Tomcat이 실행중이면, http://localhost:8080/hibernate-tutorial/eventmanager로 어플리케이션에 접근하라. 첫 번째 요청이 당신의 서블릿에 도달할 때 Hibernate가 초기화(HibernateUtil 내에 있는 static initializer가 호출된다) 되는 것을 보기 위해 그리고 만일 어떤 예외상황들이 발생할 경우 상세한 출력을 얻기 위해서 Tomcat 로그를 지켜보도록 하라.

Always set the hibernate.dialect property to the correct org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect subclass for your database. If you specify a dialect, Hibernate will use sensible defaults for some of the other properties listed above. This means that you will not have to specify them manually.

If your database supports ANSI, Oracle or Sybase style outer joins, outer join fetching will often increase performance by limiting the number of round trips to and from the database. This is, however, at the cost of possibly more work performed by the database itself. Outer join fetching allows a whole graph of objects connected by many-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and one-to-one associations to be retrieved in a single SQL SELECT.

Outer join fetching can be disabled globally by setting the property hibernate.max_fetch_depth to 0. A setting of 1 or higher enables outer join fetching for one-to-one and many-to-one associations that have been mapped with fetch="join".

추가 정보는 19.1절. “페칭 방도들”를 보라.

Oracle limits the size of byte arrays that can be passed to and/or from its JDBC driver. If you wish to use large instances of binary or serializable type, you should enable hibernate.jdbc.use_streams_for_binary. This is a system-level setting only.

The properties prefixed by hibernate.cache allow you to use a process or cluster scoped second-level cache system with Hibernate. See the 19.2절. “두번째 레벨 캐시” for more information.

You can define new Hibernate query tokens using hibernate.query.substitutions. For example:

hibernate.query.substitutions true=1, false=0

This would cause the tokens true and false to be translated to integer literals in the generated SQL.

hibernate.query.substitutions toLowercase=LOWER

This would allow you to rename the SQL LOWER function.

If you enable hibernate.generate_statistics, Hibernate exposes a number of metrics that are useful when tuning a running system via SessionFactory.getStatistics(). Hibernate can even be configured to expose these statistics via JMX. Read the Javadoc of the interfaces in org.hibernate.stats for more information.

The Hibernate Session API is independent of any transaction demarcation system in your architecture. If you let Hibernate use JDBC directly through a connection pool, you can begin and end your transactions by calling the JDBC API. If you run in a J2EE application server, you might want to use bean-managed transactions and call the JTA API and UserTransaction when needed.

이들 두 개의 (그리고 다른) 환경들에서 당신의 코드에 이식성을 유지하기 위해 우리는 기본 시스템을 포장하고 은폐시키는 선택적인 Hibernate Transaction API를 권장한다. 당신은 Hibernate 구성 프로퍼티hibernate.transaction.factory_class를 사용하여 Transaction 인스턴스들에 대한 팩토리 클래스를 지정해야 한다.

There are three standard, or built-in, choices:

You can also define your own transaction strategies (for a CORBA transaction service, for example).

Some features in Hibernate (i.e., the second level cache, Contextual Sessions with JTA, etc.) require access to the JTA TransactionManager in a managed environment. In an application server, since J2EE does not standardize a single mechanism, you have to specify how Hibernate should obtain a reference to the TransactionManager:

A JNDI-bound Hibernate SessionFactory can simplify the lookup function of the factory and create newSessions. This is not, however, related to a JNDI bound Datasource; both simply use the same registry.

If you wish to have the SessionFactory bound to a JNDI namespace, specify a name (e.g.java:hibernate/SessionFactory) using the property hibernate.session_factory_name. If this property is omitted, the SessionFactory will not be bound to JNDI. This is especially useful in environments with a read-only JNDI default implementation (in Tomcat, for example).

SessionFactory를 JNDI에 바인드 시킬 때, Hibernate는 초기 컨텍스트를 초기화 시키기 위해 hibernate.jndi.url,hibernate.jndi.class의 값들을 사용할 것이다. 만일 그것들이 지정되어 있지 않을 경우, 디폴트 InitialContext가 사용될 것이다.

Hibernate will automatically place the SessionFactory in JNDI after you call cfg.buildSessionFactory(). This means you will have this call in some startup code, or utility class in your application, unless you use JMX deployment with the HibernateService (this is discussed later in greater detail).

If you use a JNDI SessionFactory, an EJB or any other class, you can obtain the SessionFactory using a JNDI lookup.

It is recommended that you bind the SessionFactory to JNDI in a managed environment and use a staticsingleton otherwise. To shield your application code from these details, we also recommend to hide the actual lookup code for a SessionFactory in a helper class, such as HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory(). Note that such a class is also a convenient way to startup Hibernatesee chapter 1.

The easiest way to handle Sessions and transactions is Hibernate's automatic "current" Sessionmanagement. For a discussion of contextual sessions see 2.5절. “Contextual sessions”. Using the "jta"session context, if there is no Hibernate Session associated with the current JTA transaction, one will be started and associated with that JTA transaction the first time you call sessionFactory.getCurrentSession(). The Sessions retrieved via getCurrentSession() in the"jta" context are set to automatically flush before the transaction completes, close after the transaction completes, and aggressively release JDBC connections after each statement. This allows the Sessions to be managed by the life cycle of the JTA transaction to which it is associated, keeping user code clean of such management concerns. Your code can either use JTA programmatically through UserTransaction, or (recommended for portable code) use the Hibernate Transaction API to set transaction boundaries. If you run in an EJB container, declarative transaction demarcation with CMT is preferred.

The line cfg.buildSessionFactory() still has to be executed somewhere to get a SessionFactory into JNDI. You can do this either in a static initializer block, like the one in HibernateUtil, or you can deploy Hibernate as a managed service.

Hibernate is distributed with org.hibernate.jmx.HibernateService for deployment on an application server with JMX capabilities, such as JBoss AS. The actual deployment and configuration is vendor-specific. Here is an example jboss-service.xml for JBoss 4.0.x:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

This file is deployed in a directory called META-INF and packaged in a JAR file with the extension .sar(service archive). You also need to package Hibernate, its required third-party libraries, your compiled persistent classes, as well as your mapping files in the same archive. Your enterprise beans (usually session beans) can be kept in their own JAR file, but you can include this EJB JAR file in the main service archive to get a single (hot-)deployable unit. Consult the JBoss AS documentation for more information about JMX service and EJB deployment.

Cat has a no-argument constructor. All persistent classes must have a default constructor (which can be non-public) so that Hibernate can instantiate them using Constructor.newInstance(). It is recommended that you have a default constructor with at least package visibility for runtime proxy generation in Hibernate.

Cat has a property called id. This property maps to the primary key column of a database table. The property might have been called anything, and its type might have been any primitive type, any primitive "wrapper" type, java.lang.String or java.util.Date. If your legacy database table has composite keys, you can use a user-defined class with properties of these types (see the section on composite identifiers later in the chapter.)

identifier 프로퍼티는 엄격하게 옵션이다. 당신은 그것을 생략할 수도 있고, Hibernate로 하여금 내부적으로 객체 식별자들을 추적하도록 할 수 있다. 하지만 우리는 이것을 권장하지 않는다.

In fact, some functionality is available only to classes that declare an identifier property:

We recommend that you declare consistently-named identifier properties on persistent classes and that you use a nullable (i.e., non-primitive) type.

Hibernate의 중심 특징인, 프락시(proxies)들은 final이 아닌 영속 클래스들 또는 모두 public 메소드들로 선언된 인터페이스의 구현인 영속 클래스들에 의존한다.

You can persist final classes that do not implement an interface with Hibernate. You will not, however, be able to use proxies for lazy association fetching which will ultimately limit your options for performance tuning.

당신은 또한 non-final 클래스들 상에 public final 메소드들을 선언하는 것을 피해야 한다. 만일 당신이 public final 메소드를 가진 클래스를 사용하고자 원할 경우, 당신은 lazy="false"를 설정함으로써 명시적으로 프락싱을 사용 불가능하도록 해야 한다.

Cat declares accessor methods for all its persistent fields. Many other ORM tools directly persist instance variables. It is better to provide an indirection between the relational schema and internal data structures of the class. By default, Hibernate persists JavaBeans style properties and recognizes method names of the form getFoo, isFoo and setFoo. If required, you can switch to direct field access for particular properties.

프로퍼티들은 public으로 선언될 필요가 없다 - Hibernate는 디폴트로 protected get/set 쌍 또는 private get/set 쌍을 가진 프로퍼티를 영속화 시킬 수 있다.

All XML mappings should declare the doctype shown. The actual DTD can be found at the URL above, in the directory hibernate-x.x.x/src/org/hibernate , or in hibernate3.jar. Hibernate will always look for the DTD in its classpath first. If you experience lookups of the DTD using an Internet connection, check the DTD declaration against the contents of your classpath.

This element has several optional attributes. The schema and catalog attributes specify that tables referred to in this mapping belong to the named schema and/or catalog. If they are specified, tablenames will be qualified by the given schema and catalog names. If they are missing, tablenames will be unqualified. The default-cascade attribute specifies what cascade style should be assumed for properties and collections that do not specify a cascade attribute. By default, the auto-import attribute allows you to use unqualified class names in the query language.

<hibernate-mapping
         schema="schemaName"                          
         catalog="catalogName"

         default-access="field|property|ClassName"    
         default-lazy="true|false"                    
         auto-import="true|false"                     
         package="package.name"                       
 />

	schema (optional): the name of a database schema.
	catalog (optional): the name of a database catalog.
	default-cascade (optional - defaults to none): a default cascade style.
	default-access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate should use for accessing all properties. It can be a custom implementation of PropertyAccessor.
	default-lazy (optional - defaults to true): the default value for unspecified lazy attributes of class and collection mappings.
	auto-import (optional - defaults to true): specifies whether we can use unqualified class names of classes in this mapping in the query language.
	package (optional): specifies a package prefix to use for unqualified class names in the mapping document.

If you have two persistent classes with the same unqualified name, you should set auto-import="false". An exception will result if you attempt to assign two classes to the same "imported" name.

The hibernate-mapping element allows you to nest several persistent <class> mappings, as shown above. It is, however, good practice (and expected by some tools) to map only a single persistent class, or a single class hierarchy, in one mapping file and name it after the persistent superclass. For example,Cat.hbm.xml, Dog.hbm.xml, or if using inheritance, Animal.hbm.xml.

You can declare a persistent class using the class element. For example:

<class
        name="ClassName"                              
        table="tableName"                             
        discriminator-value="discriminator_value"     
        mutable="true|false"                          
        schema="owner"                                
        catalog="catalog"

        dynamic-insert="true|false"                   
        select-before-update="true|false"

        check="arbitrary sql check condition"         (18)
        rowid="rowid"                                 (19)
        subselect="SQL expression"                    (20)
        abstract="true|false"                         (21)
        node="element-name"
/>

	name (optional): the fully qualified Java class name of the persistent class or interface. If this attribute is missing, it is assumed that the mapping is for a non-POJO entity.
	table (optional - defaults to the unqualified class name): the name of its database table.
	discriminator-value (optional - defaults to the class name): a value that distinguishes individual subclasses that is used for polymorphic behavior. Acceptable values include null and not null.
	mutable (optional - defaults to true): specifies that instances of the class are (not) mutable.
	schema (optional): overrides the schema name specified by the root <hibernate-mapping>element.
	catalog (optional): overrides the catalog name specified by the root <hibernate-mapping>element.
	proxy (optional): specifies an interface to use for lazy initializing proxies. You can specify the name of the class itself.
	dynamic-update (optional - defaults to false): specifies that UPDATE SQL should be generated at runtime and can contain only those columns whose values have changed.
	dynamic-insert (optional - defaults to false): specifies that INSERT SQL should be generated at runtime and contain only the columns whose values are not null.
	select-before-update (optional - defaults to false): specifies that Hibernate should never perform an SQL UPDATE unless it is certain that an object is actually modified. Only when a transient object has been associated with a new session using update(), will Hibernate perform an extra SQL SELECT to determine if an UPDATE is actually required.
	polymorphism (optional - defaults to implicit): determines whether implicit or explicit query polymorphism is used.
	where (optional): specifies an arbitrary SQL WHERE condition to be used when retrieving objects of this class.
	persister (optional): specifies a custom ClassPersister.
	batch-size (optional - defaults to 1): specifies a "batch size" for fetching instances of this class by identifier.
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to version): determines the optimistic locking strategy.
(16)	lazy (optional): lazy fetching can be disabled by setting lazy="false".
(17)	entity-name (optional - defaults to the class name): Hibernate3 allows a class to be mapped multiple times, potentially to different tables. It also allows entity mappings that are represented by Maps or XML at the Java level. In these cases, you should provide an explicit arbitrary name for the entity. See 4.4절. “동적인 모형들” and 18장. XML 매핑 for more information.
(18)	check (optional): an SQL expression used to generate a multi-row check constraint for automatic schema generation.
(19)	rowid (optional): Hibernate can use ROWIDs on databases. On Oracle, for example, Hibernate can use the rowid extra column for fast updates once this option has been set to rowid. A ROWID is an implementation detail and represents the physical location of a stored tuple.
(20)	subselect (optional): maps an immutable and read-only entity to a database subselect. This is useful if you want to have a view instead of a base table. See below for more information.
(21)	abstract (optional): is used to mark abstract superclasses in <union-subclass> hierarchies.

It is acceptable for the named persistent class to be an interface. You can declare implementing classes of that interface using the <subclass> element. You can persist any static inner class. Specify the class name using the standard form i.e. e.g.Foo$Bar.

Immutable classes, mutable="false", cannot be updated or deleted by the application. This allows Hibernate to make some minor performance optimizations.

The optional proxy attribute enables lazy initialization of persistent instances of the class. Hibernate will initially return CGLIB proxies that implement the named interface. The persistent object will load when a method of the proxy is invoked. See "Initializing collections and proxies" below.

Implicit polymorphism means that instances of the class will be returned by a query that names any superclass or implemented interface or class, and that instances of any subclass of the class will be returned by a query that names the class itself. Explicit polymorphism means that class instances will be returned only by queries that explicitly name that class. Queries that name the class will return only instances of subclasses mapped inside this <class> declaration as a <subclass> or <joined-subclass>. For most purposes, the default polymorphism="implicit" is appropriate. Explicit polymorphism is useful when two different classes are mapped to the same table This allows a "lightweight" class that contains a subset of the table columns.

The persister attribute lets you customize the persistence strategy used for the class. You can, for example, specify your own subclass of org.hibernate.persister.EntityPersister, or you can even provide a completely new implementation of the interface org.hibernate.persister.ClassPersister that implements, for example, persistence via stored procedure calls, serialization to flat files or LDAP. Seeorg.hibernate.test.CustomPersister for a simple example of "persistence" to a Hashtable.

The dynamic-update and dynamic-insert settings are not inherited by subclasses, so they can also be specified on the <subclass> or <joined-subclass> elements. Although these settings can increase performance in some cases, they can actually decrease performance in others.

Use of select-before-update will usually decrease performance. It is useful to prevent a database update trigger being called unnecessarily if you reattach a graph of detached instances to a Session.

dynamic-update를 사용가능하게 할 경우, 당신은 다음 optimistic 잠금 전략들을 선택하게 될 것이다:

It is strongly recommended that you use version/timestamp columns for optimistic locking with Hibernate. This strategy optimizes performance and correctly handles modifications made to detached instances (i.e. when Session.merge() is used).

There is no difference between a view and a base table for a Hibernate mapping. This is transparent at the database level, although some DBMS do not support views properly, especially with updates. Sometimes you want to use a view, but you cannot create one in the database (i.e. with a legacy schema). In this case, you can map an immutable and read-only entity to a given SQL subselect expression:

<class name="Summary">
    <subselect>
        select item.name, max(bid.amount), count(*)
        from item
        join bid on bid.item_id = item.id
        group by item.name
    </subselect>
    <synchronize table="item"/>
    <synchronize table="bid"/>
    <id name="name"/>
    ...
</class>

Declare the tables to synchronize this entity with, ensuring that auto-flush happens correctly and that queries against the derived entity do not return stale data. The <subselect> is available both as an attribute and a nested mapping element.

Starting with release 3.2.3, there are 2 new generators which represent a re-thinking of 2 different aspects of identifier generation. The first aspect is database portability; the second is optimization Optimization means that you do not have to query the database for every request for a new identifier value. These two new generators are intended to take the place of some of the named generators described above, starting in 3.3.x. However, they are included in the current releases and can be referenced by FQN.

The first of these new generators is org.hibernate.id.enhanced.SequenceStyleGenerator which is intended, firstly, as a replacement for the sequence generator and, secondly, as a better portability generator thannative. This is because native generally chooses between identity and sequence which have largely different semantics that can cause subtle issues in applications eyeing portability.org.hibernate.id.enhanced.SequenceStyleGenerator, however, achieves portability in a different manner. It chooses between a table or a sequence in the database to store its incrementing values, depending on the capabilities of the dialect being used. The difference between this and native is that table-based and sequence-based storage have the same exact semantic. In fact, sequences are exactly what Hibernate tries to emulate with its table-based generators. This generator has a number of configuration parameters:

The second of these new generators is org.hibernate.id.enhanced.TableGenerator, which is intended, firstly, as a replacement for the table generator, even though it actually functions much more likeorg.hibernate.id.MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator, and secondly, as a re-implementation oforg.hibernate.id.MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator that utilizes the notion of pluggable optimizers. Essentially this generator defines a table capable of holding a number of different increment values simultaneously by using multiple distinctly keyed rows. This generator has a number of configuration parameters:

For identifier generators that store values in the database, it is inefficient for them to hit the database on each and every call to generate a new identifier value. Instead, you can group a bunch of them in memory and only hit the database when you have exhausted your in-memory value group. This is the role of the pluggable optimizers. Currently only the two enhanced generators (5.1.5절. “NOT TRANSLATED!Enhanced identifier generators” support this operation.

<composite-id name="propertyName" class="ClassName" mapped="true|false" access="field|property|ClassName"> node="element-name|." <key-property name="propertyName" type="typename" column="column_name"/> <key-many-to-one name="propertyName class="ClassName" column="column_name"/> ...... </composite-id>

A table with a composite key can be mapped with multiple properties of the class as identifier properties. The <composite-id> element accepts <key-property> property mappings and <key-many-to-one> mappings as child elements.

<composite-id> <key-property name="medicareNumber"/> <key-property name="dependent"/> </composite-id>

The persistent class must override equals() and hashCode() to implement composite identifier equality. It must also implement Serializable.

Unfortunately, this approach means that a persistent object is its own identifier. There is no convenient "handle" other than the object itself. You must instantiate an instance of the persistent class itself and populate its identifier properties before you can load() the persistent state associated with a composite key. We call this approach an embedded composite identifier, and discourage it for serious applications.

두 번째 접근법은 우리가 mapped composite 식별자라고 부르는 것인데, 여기서 <composite-id> 요소 내에 명명된 여기서 식별자 프로퍼티들은 영속 클래스와 별도의 식별자 클래스 양자 상에 중복된다.

<composite-id class="MedicareId" mapped="true"> <key-property name="medicareNumber"/> <key-property name="dependent"/> </composite-id>

In this example, both the composite identifier class, MedicareId, and the entity class itself have properties named medicareNumber and dependent. The identifier class must override equals() and hashCode() and implement Serializable. The main disadvantage of this approach is code duplication.

다음 속성들은 매핑된 composite 식별자를 지정하는데 사용된다:

We will describe a third, even more convenient approach, where the composite identifier is implemented as a component class in 8.4절. “composite 식별자들로서 컴포넌트들”. The attributes described below apply only to this alternative approach:

The third approach, an identifier component, is recommended for almost all applications.

The <discriminator> element is required for polymorphic persistence using the table-per-class-hierarchy mapping strategy. It declares a discriminator column of the table. The discriminator column contains marker values that tell the persistence layer what subclass to instantiate for a particular row. A restricted set of types can be used: string, character, integer, byte, short, boolean, yes_no, true_false.

<discriminator column="discriminator_column" type="discriminator_type" force="true|false" insert="true|false" formula="arbitrary sql expression" />

	column (optional - defaults to class): the name of the discriminator column.
	type (optional - defaults to string): a name that indicates the Hibernate type
	force (optional - defaults to false): "forces" Hibernate to specify the allowed discriminator values, even when retrieving all instances of the root class.
	insert (optional - defaults to true): set this to false if your discriminator column is also part of a mapped composite identifier. It tells Hibernate not to include the column in SQL INSERTs.
	formula (optional): an arbitrary SQL expression that is executed when a type has to be evaluated. It allows content-based discrimination.

discriminator 컬럼의 실제 값들은 <class> 요소와 <subclass> 요소의 discriminator-value 속성에 의해 지정된다.

The force attribute is only useful if the table contains rows with "extra" discriminator values that are not mapped to a persistent class. This will not usually be the case.

The formula attribute allows you to declare an arbitrary SQL expression that will be used to evaluate the type of a row. For example:

<discriminator formula="case when CLASS_TYPE in ('a', 'b', 'c') then 0 else 1 end" type="integer"/>

The <version> element is optional and indicates that the table contains versioned data. This is particularly useful if you plan to use long transactions. See below for more information:

<version column="version_column" name="propertyName" type="typename" access="field|property|ClassName" unsaved-value="null|negative|undefined" generated="never|always" insert="true|false" node="element-name|@attribute-name|element/@attribute|." />

	column (optional - defaults to the property name): the name of the column holding the version number.
	name: the name of a property of the persistent class.
	type (optional - defaults to integer): the type of the version number.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses to access the property value.
	unsaved-value (optional - defaults to undefined): a version property value that indicates that an instance is newly instantiated (unsaved), distinguishing it from detached instances that were saved or loaded in a previous session. Undefined specifies that the identifier property value should be used.
	generated (optional - defaults to never): specifies that this version property value is generated by the database. See the discussion of generated properties for more information.
	insert (optional - defaults to true): specifies whether the version column should be included in SQL insert statements. It can be set to false if the database column is defined with a default value of0.

Version numbers can be of Hibernate type long, integer, short, timestamp or calendar.

A version or timestamp property should never be null for a detached instance. Hibernate will detect any instance with a null version or timestamp as transient, irrespective of what other unsaved-value strategies are specified. Declaring a nullable version or timestamp property is an easy way to avoid problems with transitive reattachment in Hibernate. It is especially useful for people using assigned identifiers or composite keys.

The optional <timestamp> element indicates that the table contains timestamped data. This provides an alternative to versioning. Timestamps are a less safe implementation of optimistic locking. However, sometimes the application might use the timestamps in other ways.

<timestamp column="timestamp_column" name="propertyName" access="field|property|ClassName" unsaved-value="null|undefined" source="vm|db" generated="never|always" node="element-name|@attribute-name|element/@attribute|." />

	column (optional - defaults to the property name): the name of a column holding the timestamp.
	name: the name of a JavaBeans style property of Java type Date or Timestamp of the persistent class.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	unsaved-value (optional - defaults to null): a version property value that indicates that an instance is newly instantiated (unsaved), distinguishing it from detached instances that were saved or loaded in a previous session. Undefined specifies that the identifier property value should be used.
	source (optional - defaults to vm): Where should Hibernate retrieve the timestamp value from? From the database, or from the current JVM? Database-based timestamps incur an overhead because Hibernate must hit the database in order to determine the "next value". It is safer to use in clustered environments. Not all Dialects are known to support the retrieval of the database's current timestamp. Others may also be unsafe for usage in locking due to lack of precision (Oracle 8, for example).
	generated (optional - defaults to never): specifies that this timestamp property value is actually generated by the database. See the discussion of generated properties for more information.

The <property> element declares a persistent JavaBean style property of the class.

<property name="propertyName" column="column_name" type="typename" update="true|false" insert="true|false" formula="arbitrary SQL expression" access="field|property|ClassName" lazy="true|false" unique="true|false" not-null="true|false" optimistic-lock="true|false" generated="never|insert|always" node="element-name|@attribute-name|element/@attribute|." index="index_name" unique_key="unique_key_id" length="L" precision="P" scale="S" />

	name: 첫 소문자로 시작하는 프로퍼티 이름.
	column (optional - defaults to the property name): the name of the mapped database table column. This can also be specified by nested <column> element(s).
	type (옵션): Hibernate 타입을 나타내는 이름.
	update, insert (optional - defaults to true): specifies that the mapped columns should be included in SQL UPDATE and/or INSERT statements. Setting both to false allows a pure "derived" property whose value is initialized from some other property that maps to the same column(s), or by a trigger or other application.
	formula (옵션): 계산되는 프로퍼티에 대해 값을 정의하는 SQL 표현식. 계산되는 프로퍼티들은 그것들 자신에 대한 컬럼 매핑을 갖지 않는다.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	lazy (optional - defaults to false): specifies that this property should be fetched lazily when the instance variable is first accessed. It requires build-time bytecode instrumentation.
	unique (optional): enables the DDL generation of a unique constraint for the columns. Also, allow this to be the target of a property-ref.
	not-null (optional): enables the DDL generation of a nullability constraint for the columns.
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to this property do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. In other words, it determines if a version increment should occur when this property is dirty.
	generated (optional - defaults to never): specifies that this property value is actually generated by the database. See the discussion of generated properties for more information.

typename은 다음일 수 있다:

If you do not specify a type, Hibernate will use reflection upon the named property and guess the correct Hibernate type. Hibernate will attempt to interpret the name of the return class of the property getter using, in order, rules 2, 3, and 4. In certain cases you will need the type attribute. For example, to distinguish between Hibernate.DATE and Hibernate.TIMESTAMP, or to specify a custom type.

The access attribute allows you to control how Hibernate accesses the property at runtime. By default, Hibernate will call the property get/set pair. If you specify access="field", Hibernate will bypass the get/set pair and access the field directly using reflection. You can specify your own strategy for property access by naming a class that implements the interface org.hibernate.property.PropertyAccessor.

A powerful feature is derived properties. These properties are by definition read-only. The property value is computed at load time. You declare the computation as an SQL expression. This then translates to a SELECT clause subquery in the SQL query that loads an instance:

<property name="totalPrice" formula="( SELECT SUM (li.quantity*p.price) FROM LineItem li, Product p WHERE li.productId = p.productId AND li.customerId = customerId AND li.orderNumber = orderNumber )"/>

You can reference the entity table by not declaring an alias on a particular column. This would be customerId in the given example. You can also use the nested <formula> mapping element if you do not want to use the attribute.

An ordinary association to another persistent class is declared using a many-to-one element. The relational model is a many-to-one association; a foreign key in one table is referencing the primary key column(s) of the target table.

<many-to-one name="propertyName" column="column_name" class="ClassName" cascade="cascade_style" fetch="join|select" update="true|false" insert="true|false" property-ref="propertyNameFromAssociatedClass" access="field|property|ClassName" unique="true|false" not-null="true|false" optimistic-lock="true|false" lazy="proxy|no-proxy|false" not-found="ignore|exception" entity-name="EntityName" formula="arbitrary SQL expression" node="element-name|@attribute-name|element/@attribute|." embed-xml="true|false" index="index_name" unique_key="unique_key_id" foreign-key="foreign_key_name" />

	name: the name of the property.
	column (optional): the name of the foreign key column. This can also be specified by nested<column> element(s).
	class (optional - defaults to the property type determined by reflection): the name of the associated class.
	cascade (optional): specifies which operations should be cascaded from the parent object to the associated object.
	fetch (optional - defaults to select): chooses between outer-join fetching or sequential select fetching.
	update, insert (optional - defaults to true): specifies that the mapped columns should be included in SQL UPDATE and/or INSERT statements. Setting both to false allows a pure "derived" association whose value is initialized from another property that maps to the same column(s), or by a trigger or other application.
	property-ref (optional): the name of a property of the associated class that is joined to this foreign key. If not specified, the primary key of the associated class is used.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	unique (optional): enables the DDL generation of a unique constraint for the foreign-key column. By allowing this to be the target of a property-ref, you can make the association multiplicity one-to-one.
	not-null (optional): enables the DDL generation of a nullability constraint for the foreign key columns.
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to this property do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. In other words, it determines if a version increment should occur when this property is dirty.
	lazy (optional - defaults to proxy): by default, single point associations are proxied.lazy="no-proxy" specifies that the property should be fetched lazily when the instance variable is first accessed. This requires build-time bytecode instrumentation. lazy="false" specifies that the association will always be eagerly fetched.
	not-found (optional - defaults to exception): specifies how foreign keys that reference missing rows will be handled. ignore will treat a missing row as a null association.
	entity-name (optional): the entity name of the associated class.
	formula (옵션): 계산된 foreign key에 대한 값을 정의하는 SQL 표현식.

Setting a value of the cascade attribute to any meaningful value other than none will propagate certain operations to the associated object. The meaningful values are divided into three categories. First, basic operations, which include: persist, merge, delete, save-update, evict, replicate, lock and refresh; second, special values: delete-orphan; and third,all comma-separated combinations of operation names: cascade="persist,merge,evict" or cascade="all,delete-orphan". See 10.11절. “Transitive persistence(전이 영속)” for a full explanation. Note that single valued, many-to-one and one-to-one, associations do not support orphan delete.

Here is an example of a typical many-to-one declaration:

<many-to-one name="product" class="Product" column="PRODUCT_ID"/>

The property-ref attribute should only be used for mapping legacy data where a foreign key refers to a unique key of the associated table other than the primary key. This is a complicated and confusing relational model. For example, if the Product class had a unique serial number that is not the primary key. The unique attribute controls Hibernate's DDL generation with the SchemaExport tool.

<property name="serialNumber" unique="true" type="string" column="SERIAL_NUMBER"/>

그런 다음 OrderItem에 대한 매핑은 다음을 사용할 것이다:

<many-to-one name="product" property-ref="serialNumber" column="PRODUCT_SERIAL_NUMBER"/>

This is not encouraged, however.

만일 참조된 유일 키가 연관된 엔티티의 여러 프로퍼티들을 포함할 경우, 당신은 명명된 <properties> 요소 내부에 참조된 프로퍼티들을 매핑할 것이다.

If the referenced unique key is the property of a component, you can specify a property path:

<many-to-one name="owner" property-ref="identity.ssn" column="OWNER_SSN"/>

또 다른 영속 클래스에 대한 one-to-one 연관관계는 one-to-one 요소를 사용하여 선언된다.

	name: the name of the property.
	class (optional - defaults to the property type determined by reflection): the name of the associated class.
	cascade (optional): specifies which operations should be cascaded from the parent object to the associated object.
	constrained (optional): specifies that a foreign key constraint on the primary key of the mapped table and references the table of the associated class. This option affects the order in whichsave() and delete() are cascaded, and determines whether the association can be proxied. It is also used by the schema export tool.
	fetch (optional - defaults to select): chooses between outer-join fetching or sequential select fetching.
	property-ref (optional): the name of a property of the associated class that is joined to the primary key of this class. If not specified, the primary key of the associated class is used.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	formula (optional): almost all one-to-one associations map to the primary key of the owning entity. If this is not the case, you can specify another column, columns or expression to join on using an SQL formula. See org.hibernate.test.onetooneformula for an example.
	lazy (optional - defaults to proxy): by default, single point associations are proxied.lazy="no-proxy" specifies that the property should be fetched lazily when the instance variable is first accessed. It requires build-time bytecode instrumentation. lazy="false" specifies that the association will always be eagerly fetched. Note that if constrained="false", proxying is impossible and Hibernate will eagerly fetch the association.
	entity-name (optional): the entity name of the associated class.

There are two varieties of one-to-one associations:

Primary key associations do not need an extra table column. If two rows are related by the association, then the two table rows share the same primary key value. To relate two objects by a primary key association, ensure that they are assigned the same identifier value.

For a primary key association, add the following mappings to Employee and Person respectively:

<one-to-one name="person" class="Person"/>

<one-to-one name="employee" class="Employee" constrained="true"/>

Ensure that the primary keys of the related rows in the PERSON and EMPLOYEE tables are equal. You use a special Hibernate identifier generation strategy called foreign:

<class name="person" table="PERSON"> <id name="id" column="PERSON_ID"> <generator class="foreign"> <param name="property">employee</param> </generator> </id> ... <one-to-one name="employee" class="Employee" constrained="true"/> </class>

A newly saved instance of Person is assigned the same primary key value as the Employee instance referred with the employee property of that Person.

Alternatively, a foreign key with a unique constraint, from Employee to Person, can be expressed as:

<many-to-one name="person" class="Person" column="PERSON_ID" unique="true"/>

This association can be made bidirectional by adding the following to the Person mapping:

<one-to-one name="employee" class="Employee" property-ref="person"/>

<natural-id mutable="true|false"/> <property ... /> <many-to-one ... /> ...... </natural-id>

Although we recommend the use of surrogate keys as primary keys, you should try to identify natural keys for all entities. A natural key is a property or combination of properties that is unique and non-null. It is also immutable. Map the properties of the natural key inside the <natural-id> element. Hibernate will generate the necessary unique key and nullability constraints and, as a result, your mapping will be more self-documenting.

It is recommended that you implement equals() and hashCode() to compare the natural key properties of the entity.

This mapping is not intended for use with entities that have natural primary keys.

The <component> element maps properties of a child object to columns of the table of a parent class. Components can, in turn, declare their own properties, components or collections. See the "Component" examples below:

<component name="propertyName" class="className" insert="true|false" update="true|false" access="field|property|ClassName" lazy="true|false" optimistic-lock="true|false" unique="true|false" node="element-name|." > <property ...../> <many-to-one .... /> ........ </component>

	name: the name of the property.
	class (optional - defaults to the property type determined by reflection): the name of the component (child) class.
	insert: do the mapped columns appear in SQL INSERTs?
	update: do the mapped columns appear in SQL UPDATEs?
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	lazy (optional - defaults to false): specifies that this component should be fetched lazily when the instance variable is first accessed. It requires build-time bytecode instrumentation.
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to this component either do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. It determines if a version increment should occur when this property is dirty.
	unique (optional - defaults to false): specifies that a unique constraint exists upon all mapped columns of the component.

자식 <property> 태그들은 자식 클래스의 프로퍼티들을 테이블 컬럼들로 매핑시킨다.

<component> 요소는 컴포넌트 클래스의 프로퍼티를 포함하는 엔티티에 대한 참조로서 매핑시키는 <parent> 서브요소를 허용한다.

The <dynamic-component> element allows a Map to be mapped as a component, where the property names refer to keys of the map. See 8.5절. “동적인 컴포넌트들” for more information.

The <properties> element allows the definition of a named, logical grouping of the properties of a class. The most important use of the construct is that it allows a combination of properties to be the target of a property-ref. It is also a convenient way to define a multi-column unique constraint. For example:

<properties name="logicalName" insert="true|false" update="true|false" optimistic-lock="true|false" unique="true|false" > <property ...../> <many-to-one .... /> ........ </properties>

	name: the logical name of the grouping. It is not an actual property name.
	insert: do the mapped columns appear in SQL INSERTs?
	update: do the mapped columns appear in SQL UPDATEs?
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to these properties either do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. It determines if a version increment should occur when these properties are dirty.
	unique (optional - defaults to false): specifies that a unique constraint exists upon all mapped columns of the component.

예를 들어, 만일 우리가 다음 <properties> 매핑을 가질 경우:

<class name="Person"> <id name="personNumber"/> ... <properties name="name" unique="true" update="false"> <property name="firstName"/> <property name="initial"/> <property name="lastName"/> </properties> </class>

You might have some legacy data association that refers to this unique key of the Person table, instead of to the primary key:

<many-to-one name="person" class="Person" property-ref="name"> <column name="firstName"/> <column name="initial"/> <column name="lastName"/> </many-to-one>

The use of this outside the context of mapping legacy data is not recommended.

Polymorphic persistence requires the declaration of each subclass of the root persistent class. For the table-per-class-hierarchy mapping strategy, the <subclass> declaration is used. For example:

<subclass name="ClassName" discriminator-value="discriminator_value" proxy="ProxyInterface" lazy="true|false" dynamic-update="true|false" dynamic-insert="true|false" entity-name="EntityName" node="element-name" extends="SuperclassName"> <property .... /> ..... </subclass>

	name: the fully qualified class name of the subclass.
	discriminator-value (optional - defaults to the class name): a value that distinguishes individual subclasses.
	proxy (optional): specifies a class or interface used for lazy initializing proxies.
	lazy (optional - defaults to true): setting lazy="false" disables the use of lazy fetching.

Each subclass declares its own persistent properties and subclasses. <version> and <id> properties are assumed to be inherited from the root class. Each subclass in a hierarchy must define a unique discriminator-value. If this is not specified, the fully qualified Java class name is used.

For information about inheritance mappings see 9장. Inheritance mapping.

Each subclass can also be mapped to its own table. This is called the table-per-subclass mapping strategy. An inherited state is retrieved by joining with the table of the superclass. To do this you use the <joined-subclass> element. For example:

<joined-subclass name="ClassName" table="tablename" proxy="ProxyInterface" lazy="true|false" dynamic-update="true|false" dynamic-insert="true|false" schema="schema" catalog="catalog" extends="SuperclassName" persister="ClassName" subselect="SQL expression" entity-name="EntityName" node="element-name"> <key .... > <property .... /> ..... </joined-subclass>

	name: the fully qualified class name of the subclass.
	table: the name of the subclass table.
	proxy (optional): specifies a class or interface to use for lazy initializing proxies.
	lazy (optional, defaults to true): setting lazy="false" disables the use of lazy fetching.

A discriminator column is not required for this mapping strategy. Each subclass must, however, declare a table column holding the object identifier using the <key> element. The mapping at the start of the chapter would then be re-written as:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping package="eg"> <class name="Cat" table="CATS"> <id name="id" column="uid" type="long"> <generator class="hilo"/> </id> <property name="birthdate" type="date"/> <property name="color" not-null="true"/> <property name="sex" not-null="true"/> <property name="weight"/> <many-to-one name="mate"/> <set name="kittens"> <key column="MOTHER"/> <one-to-many class="Cat"/> </set> <joined-subclass name="DomesticCat" table="DOMESTIC_CATS"> <key column="CAT"/> <property name="name" type="string"/> </joined-subclass> </class> <class name="eg.Dog"> <!-- mapping for Dog could go here --> </class> </hibernate-mapping>

For information about inheritance mappings see 9장. Inheritance mapping.

A third option is to map only the concrete classes of an inheritance hierarchy to tables. This is called the table-per-concrete-class strategy. Each table defines all persistent states of the class, including the inherited state. In Hibernate, it is not necessary to explicitly map such inheritance hierarchies. You can map each class with a separate <class> declaration. However, if you wish use polymorphic associations (e.g. an association to the superclass of your hierarchy), you need to use the <union-subclass> mapping. For example:

<union-subclass name="ClassName" table="tablename" proxy="ProxyInterface" lazy="true|false" dynamic-update="true|false" dynamic-insert="true|false" schema="schema" catalog="catalog" extends="SuperclassName" abstract="true|false" persister="ClassName" subselect="SQL expression" entity-name="EntityName" node="element-name"> <property .... /> ..... </union-subclass>

	name: the fully qualified class name of the subclass.
	table: the name of the subclass table.
	proxy (optional): specifies a class or interface to use for lazy initializing proxies.
	lazy (optional, defaults to true): setting lazy="false" disables the use of lazy fetching.

이 매핑 방도에는 판별자 컬럼이나 키 컬럼이 필요하지 않다.

For information about inheritance mappings see 9장. Inheritance mapping.

Using the <join> element, it is possible to map properties of one class to several tables that have a one-to-one relationship. For example:

<join table="tablename" schema="owner" catalog="catalog" fetch="join|select" inverse="true|false" optional="true|false"> <key ... /> <property ... /> ... </join>

	table: the name of the joined table.
	schema (optional): overrides the schema name specified by the root <hibernate-mapping> element.
	catalog (optional): overrides the catalog name specified by the root <hibernate-mapping> element.
	fetch (optional - defaults to join): if set to join, the default, Hibernate will use an inner join to retrieve a <join> defined by a class or its superclasses. It will use an outer join for a <join>defined by a subclass. If set to select then Hibernate will use a sequential select for a <join>defined on a subclass. This will be issued only if a row represents an instance of the subclass. Inner joins will still be used to retrieve a <join> defined by the class and its superclasses.
	inverse (optional - defaults to false): if enabled, Hibernate will not insert or update the properties defined by this join.
	optional (optional - defaults to false): if enabled, Hibernate will insert a row only if the properties defined by this join are non-null. It will always use an outer join to retrieve the properties.

For example, address information for a person can be mapped to a separate table while preserving value type semantics for all properties:

<class name="Person" table="PERSON"> <id name="id" column="PERSON_ID">...</id> <join table="ADDRESS"> <key column="ADDRESS_ID"/> <property name="address"/> <property name="zip"/> <property name="country"/> </join> ...

This feature is often only useful for legacy data models. We recommend fewer tables than classes and a fine-grained domain model. However, it is useful for switching between inheritance mapping strategies in a single hierarchy, as explained later.

The <key> element has featured a few times within this guide. It appears anywhere the parent mapping element defines a join to a new table that references the primary key of the original table. It also defines the foreign key in the joined table:

<key column="columnname" on-delete="noaction|cascade" property-ref="propertyName" not-null="true|false" update="true|false" unique="true|false" />

	column (optional): the name of the foreign key column. This can also be specified by nested<column> element(s).
	on-delete (optional - defaults to noaction): specifies whether the foreign key constraint has database-level cascade delete enabled.
	property-ref (optional): specifies that the foreign key refers to columns that are not the primary key of the original table. It is provided for legacy data.
	not-null (optional): specifies that the foreign key columns are not nullable. This is implied whenever the foreign key is also part of the primary key.
	update (optional): specifies that the foreign key should never be updated. This is implied whenever the foreign key is also part of the primary key.
	unique (optional): specifies that the foreign key should have a unique constraint. This is implied whenever the foreign key is also the primary key.

For systems where delete performance is important, we recommend that all keys should be defined on-delete="cascade". Hibernate uses a database-level ON CASCADE DELETE constraint, instead of many individual DELETE statements. Be aware that this feature bypasses Hibernate's usual optimistic locking strategy for versioned data.

The not-null and update attributes are useful when mapping a unidirectional one-to-many association. If you map a unidirectional one-to-many association to a non-nullable foreign key, you must declare the key column using <key not-null="true">.

Mapping elements which accept a column attribute will alternatively accept a <column> subelement. Likewise, <formula> is an alternative to the formula attribute. For example:

<column name="column_name" length="N" precision="N" scale="N" not-null="true|false" unique="true|false" unique-key="multicolumn_unique_key_name" index="index_name" sql-type="sql_type_name" check="SQL expression" default="SQL expression"/>

<formula>SQL expression</formula>

column and formula attributes can even be combined within the same property or association mapping to express, for example, exotic join conditions.

<many-to-one name="homeAddress" class="Address" insert="false" update="false"> <column name="person_id" not-null="true" length="10"/> <formula>'MAILING'</formula> </many-to-one>

If your application has two persistent classes with the same name, and you do not want to specify the fully qualified package name in Hibernate queries, classes can be "imported" explicitly, rather than relying upon auto-import="true". You can also import classes and interfaces that are not explicitly mapped:

<import class="java.lang.Object" rename="Universe"/>

<import class="ClassName" rename="ShortName" />

	class: the fully qualified class name of any Java class.
	rename (optional - defaults to the unqualified class name): a name that can be used in the query language.

There is one more type of property mapping. The <any> mapping element defines a polymorphic association to classes from multiple tables. This type of mapping requires more than one column. The first column contains the type of the associated entity. The remaining columns contain the identifier. It is impossible to specify a foreign key constraint for this kind of association. This is not the usual way of mapping polymorphic associations and you should use this only in special cases. For example, for audit logs, user session data, etc.

The meta-type attribute allows the application to specify a custom type that maps database column values to persistent classes that have identifier properties of the type specified by id-type. You must specify the mapping from values of the meta-type to class names.

<any name="being" id-type="long" meta-type="string"> <meta-value value="TBL_ANIMAL" class="Animal"/> <meta-value value="TBL_HUMAN" class="Human"/> <meta-value value="TBL_ALIEN" class="Alien"/> <column name="table_name"/> <column name="id"/> </any>

<any name="propertyName" id-type="idtypename" meta-type="metatypename" cascade="cascade_style" access="field|property|ClassName" optimistic-lock="true|false" > <meta-value ... /> <meta-value ... /> ..... <column .... /> <column .... /> ..... </any>

	name: 프로퍼티 이름.
	id-type: 식별자 타입.
	meta-type (optional - defaults to string): any type that is allowed for a discriminator mapping.
	cascade (optional- defaults to none): cascade 스타일.
	access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
	optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to this property either do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. It defines whether a version increment should occur if this property is dirty.

In relation to the persistence service, Java language-level objects are classified into two groups:

An entity exists independently of any other objects holding references to the entity. Contrast this with the usual Java model, where an unreferenced object is garbage collected. Entities must be explicitly saved and deleted. Saves and deletions, however, can be cascaded from a parent entity to its children. This is different from the ODMG model of object persistence by reachability and corresponds more closely to how application objects are usually used in large systems. Entities support circular and shared references. They can also be versioned.

An entity's persistent state consists of references to other entities and instances of value types. Values are primitives: collections (not what is inside a collection), components and certain immutable objects. Unlike entities, values in particular collections and components, are persisted and deleted by reachability. Since value objects and primitives are persisted and deleted along with their containing entity, they cannot be independently versioned. Values have no independent identity, so they cannot be shared by two entities or collections.

Until now, we have been using the term "persistent class" to refer to entities. We will continue to do that. Not all user-defined classes with a persistent state, however, are entities. A component is a user-defined class with value semantics. A Java property of type java.lang.String also has value semantics. Given this definition, all types (classes) provided by the JDK have value type semantics in Java, while user-defined types can be mapped with entity or value type semantics. This decision is up to the application developer. An entity class in a domain model will normally have shared references to a single instance of that class, while composition or aggregation usually translates to a value type.

We will revisit both concepts throughout this reference guide.

The challenge is to map the Java type system, and the developers' definition of entities and value types, to the SQL/database type system. The bridge between both systems is provided by Hibernate. For entities, <class>, <subclass> and so on are used. For value types we use <property>, <component>etc., that usually have a type attribute. The value of this attribute is the name of a Hibernate mapping type. Hibernate provides a range of mappings for standard JDK value types out of the box. You can write your own mapping types and implement your own custom conversion strategies.

With the exception of collections, all built-in Hibernate types support null semantics.

The built-in basic mapping types can be roughly categorized into the following:

Unique identifiers of entities and collections can be of any basic type except binary, blob and clob. Composite identifiers are also allowed. See below for more information.

기본 value 타입들은 org.hibernate.Hibernate에 정의되어 있는 대응하는 Type 상수들을 갖는다. 예를 들어, Hibernate.STRING은 string 타입을 표현한다.

It is relatively easy for developers to create their own value types. For example, you might want to persist properties of type java.lang.BigInteger to VARCHAR columns. Hibernate does not provide a built-in type for this. Custom types are not limited to mapping a property, or collection element, to a single table column. So, for example, you might have a Java property getName()/setName() of type java.lang.String that is persisted to the columns FIRST_NAME, INITIAL, SURNAME.

To implement a custom type, implement either org.hibernate.UserType or org.hibernate.CompositeUserType and declare properties using the fully qualified classname of the type. View org.hibernate.test.DoubleStringType to see the kind of things that are possible.

<property name="twoStrings" type="org.hibernate.test.DoubleStringType"> <column name="first_string"/> <column name="second_string"/> </property>

하나의 프로퍼티를 여러 개의 컬럼들로 매핑시키는 <column> 태그의 사용을 주목하라.

CompositeUserType, EnhancedUserType, UserCollectionType, 그리고 UserVersionType 인터페이스들은 더 많은 특화된 사용들을 위한 지원을 제공한다.

You can even supply parameters to a UserType in the mapping file. To do this, your UserType must implement the org.hibernate.usertype.ParameterizedType interface. To supply parameters to your custom type, you can use the <type> element in your mapping files.

<property name="priority"> <type name="com.mycompany.usertypes.DefaultValueIntegerType"> <param name="default">0</param> </type> </property>

UserType은 이제 그것에 전달된 Properties 객체로부터 default로 명명된 파라미터에 대한 값을 검색할 수 있다.

If you regularly use a certain UserType, it is useful to define a shorter name for it. You can do this using the <typedef> element. Typedefs assign a name to a custom type, and can also contain a list of default parameter values if the type is parameterized.

<typedef class="com.mycompany.usertypes.DefaultValueIntegerType" name="default_zero"> <param name="default">0</param> </typedef>

<property name="priority" type="default_zero"/>

property 매핑 상에 type 파라미터들을 사용함으로써 경우에 맞게 typedef 내에 제공된 파라미터들을 오버라이드 시키는 것이 가능하다.

Even though Hibernate's rich range of built-in types and support for components means you will rarely need to use a custom type, it is considered good practice to use custom types for non-entity classes that occur frequently in your application. For example, a MonetaryAmount class is a good candidate for a CompositeUserType, even though it could be mapped as a component. One reason for this is abstraction. With a custom type, your mapping documents would be protected against changes to the way monetary values are represented.

Many Hibernate users prefer to embed mapping information directly in sourcecode using XDoclet @hibernate.tags. We do not cover this approach in this reference guide since it is considered part of XDoclet. However, we include the following example of the Cat class with XDoclet mappings:

package eg; import java.util.Set; import java.util.Date; /** * @hibernate.class * table="CATS" */ public class Cat { private Long id; // identifier private Date birthdate; private Cat mother; private Set kittens private Color color; private char sex; private float weight; /* * @hibernate.id * generator-class="native" * column="CAT_ID" */ public Long getId() { return id; } private void setId(Long id) { this.id=id; } /** * @hibernate.many-to-one * column="PARENT_ID" */ public Cat getMother() { return mother; } void setMother(Cat mother) { this.mother = mother; } /** * @hibernate.property * column="BIRTH_DATE" */ public Date getBirthdate() { return birthdate; } void setBirthdate(Date date) { birthdate = date; } /** * @hibernate.property * column="WEIGHT" */ public float getWeight() { return weight; } void setWeight(float weight) { this.weight = weight; } /** * @hibernate.property * column="COLOR" * not-null="true" */ public Color getColor() { return color; } void setColor(Color color) { this.color = color; } /** * @hibernate.set * inverse="true" * order-by="BIRTH_DATE" * @hibernate.collection-key * column="PARENT_ID" * @hibernate.collection-one-to-many */ public Set getKittens() { return kittens; } void setKittens(Set kittens) { this.kittens = kittens; } // addKitten not needed by Hibernate public void addKitten(Cat kitten) { kittens.add(kitten); } /** * @hibernate.property * column="SEX" * not-null="true" * update="false" */ public char getSex() { return sex; } void setSex(char sex) { this.sex=sex; } }

See the Hibernate website for more examples of XDoclet and Hibernate.

JDK 5.0 introduced XDoclet-style annotations at the language level that are type-safe and checked at compile time. This mechanism is more powerful than XDoclet annotations and better supported by tools and IDEs. IntelliJ IDEA, for example, supports auto-completion and syntax highlighting of JDK 5.0 annotations. The new revision of the EJB specification (JSR-220) uses JDK 5.0 annotations as the primary metadata mechanism for entity beans. Hibernate3 implements the EntityManager of JSR-220 (the persistence API). Support for mapping metadata is available via the Hibernate Annotations package as a separate download. Both EJB3 (JSR-220) and Hibernate3 metadata is supported.

다음은 EJB 엔티티 빈으로서 주석이 붙은 POJO 클래스에 관한 예제이다:

@Entity(access = AccessType.FIELD) public class Customer implements Serializable { @Id; Long id; String firstName; String lastName; Date birthday; @Transient Integer age; @Embedded private Address homeAddress; @OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL) @JoinColumn(name="CUSTOMER_ID") Set<Order> orders; // Getter/setter and business methods }

Collection instances are distinguished in the database by the foreign key of the entity that owns the collection. This foreign key is referred to as the collection key column, or columns, of the collection table. The collection key column is mapped by the <key> element.

There can be a nullability constraint on the foreign key column. For most collections, this is implied. For unidirectional one-to-many associations, the foreign key column is nullable by default, so you may need to specify not-null="true".

<key column="productSerialNumber" not-null="true"/>

The foreign key constraint can use ON DELETE CASCADE.

<key column="productSerialNumber" on-delete="cascade"/>

<key> 요소에 대한 전체 정의는 앞 장을 보라.

Collections can contain almost any other Hibernate type, including: basic types, custom types, components and references to other entities. This is an important distinction. An object in a collection might be handled with "value" semantics (its life cycle fully depends on the collection owner), or it might be a reference to another entity with its own life cycle. In the latter case, only the "link" between the two objects is considered to be a state held by the collection.

포함된 타입은 콜렉션 요소 타입으로서 불려진다. 콜렉션 요소들은 <element> 또는 <composite-element>에 의해 매핑되거나, 엔티티 참조들의 경우에 <one-to-many> 또는 <many-to-many>로서 매핑된다. 앞의 두 개는 value 의미를 가진 요소들을 매핑시키고, 뒤의 두개는 엔티티 연관들을 매핑하는데 사용된다.

All collection mappings, except those with set and bag semantics, need an index column in the collection table. An index column is a column that maps to an array index, or List index, or Map key. The index of a Map may be of any basic type, mapped with <map-key>. It can be an entity reference mapped with <map-key-many-to-many>, or it can be a composite type mapped with <composite-map-key>. The index of an array or list is always of type integer and is mapped using the <list-index> element. The mapped column contains sequential integers that are numbered from zero by default.

<list-index column="column_name" base="0|1|..."/>

	column_name (required): the name of the column holding the collection index values.
	base (optional - defaults to 0): the value of the index column that corresponds to the first element of the list or array.

<map-key column="column_name" formula="any SQL expression" type="type_name" node="@attribute-name" length="N"/>

	column (optional): the name of the column holding the collection index values.
	formula (optional): a SQL formula used to evaluate the key of the map.
	type (required): the type of the map keys.

<map-key-many-to-many column="column_name" formula="any SQL expression" class="ClassName" />

	column (optional): the name of the foreign key column for the collection index values.
	formula (optional): a SQ formula used to evaluate the foreign key of the map key.
	class (required): the entity class used as the map key.

If your table does not have an index column, and you still wish to use List as the property type, you can map the property as a Hibernate <bag>. A bag does not retain its order when it is retrieved from the database, but it can be optionally sorted or ordered.

Any collection of values or many-to-many associations requires a dedicated collection table with a foreign key column or columns, collection element column or columns, and possibly an index column or columns.

For a collection of values use the <element> tag. For example:

<element column="column_name" formula="any SQL expression" type="typename" length="L" precision="P" scale="S" not-null="true|false" unique="true|false" node="element-name" />

	column (optional): the name of the column holding the collection element values.
	formula (optional): an SQL formula used to evaluate the element.
	type (required): the type of the collection element.

A many-to-many association is specified using the <many-to-many> element.

<many-to-many column="column_name" formula="any SQL expression" class="ClassName" fetch="select|join" unique="true|false" not-found="ignore|exception" entity-name="EntityName" property-ref="propertyNameFromAssociatedClass" node="element-name" embed-xml="true|false" />

	column (optional): the name of the element foreign key column.
	formula (optional): an SQL formula used to evaluate the element foreign key value.
	class (required): the name of the associated class.
	fetch (optional - defaults to join): enables outer-join or sequential select fetching for this association. This is a special case; for full eager fetching in a single SELECT of an entity and its many-to-many relationships to other entities, you would enable join fetching,not only of the collection itself, but also with this attribute on the <many-to-many> nested element.
	unique (optional): enables the DDL generation of a unique constraint for the foreign-key column. This makes the association multiplicity effectively one-to-many.
	not-found (optional - defaults to exception): specifies how foreign keys that reference missing rows will be handled: ignore will treat a missing row as a null association.
	entity-name (optional): the entity name of the associated class, as an alternative to class.
	property-ref (optional): the name of a property of the associated class that is joined to this foreign key. If not specified, the primary key of the associated class is used.

Here are some examples.

A set of strings:

<set name="names" table="person_names"> <key column="person_id"/> <element column="person_name" type="string"/> </set>

A bag containing integers with an iteration order determined by the order-by attribute:

<bag name="sizes" table="item_sizes" order-by="size asc"> <key column="item_id"/> <element column="size" type="integer"/> </bag>

An array of entities, in this case, a many-to-many association:

<array name="addresses" table="PersonAddress" cascade="persist"> <key column="personId"/> <list-index column="sortOrder"/> <many-to-many column="addressId" class="Address"/> </array>

날짜들에 대한 문자열 인덱스들을 가진 map :

<map name="holidays" table="holidays" schema="dbo" order-by="hol_name asc"> <key column="id"/> <map-key column="hol_name" type="string"/> <element column="hol_date" type="date"/> </map>

A list of components (this is discussed in the next chapter):

<list name="carComponents" table="CarComponents"> <key column="carId"/> <list-index column="sortOrder"/> <composite-element class="CarComponent"> <property name="price"/> <property name="type"/> <property name="serialNumber" column="serialNum"/> </composite-element> </list>

A one-to-many association links the tables of two classes via a foreign key with no intervening collection table. This mapping loses certain semantics of normal Java collections:

An association from Product to Part requires the existence of a foreign key column and possibly an index column to the Part table. A <one-to-many> tag indicates that this is a one-to-many association.

<one-to-many class="ClassName" not-found="ignore|exception" entity-name="EntityName" node="element-name" embed-xml="true|false" />

	class (required): the name of the associated class.
	not-found (optional - defaults to exception): specifies how cached identifiers that reference missing rows will be handled. ignore will treat a missing row as a null association.
	entity-name (optional): the entity name of the associated class, as an alternative to class.

The <one-to-many> element does not need to declare any columns. Nor is it necessary to specify the table name anywhere.

The following example shows a map of Part entities by name, where partName is a persistent property of Part. Notice the use of a formula-based index:

<map name="parts" cascade="all"> <key column="productId" not-null="true"/> <map-key formula="partName"/> <one-to-many class="Part"/> </map>

Hibernate는 java.util.SortedMap과 java.util.SortedSet를 구현하는 콜렉션들을 지원한다. 당신은 매핑 파일 속에 하나의 comparator를 지정해야 한다:

<set name="aliases" table="person_aliases" sort="natural"> <key column="person"/> <element column="name" type="string"/> </set> <map name="holidays" sort="my.custom.HolidayComparator"> <key column="year_id"/> <map-key column="hol_name" type="string"/> <element column="hol_date" type="date"/> </map>

sort 속성에 허용되는 값들은 unsorted, natural, 그리고 java.util.Comparator를 구현하는 클래스의 이름이다.

Sorted 콜렉션들은 java.util.TreeSet 또는 java.util.TreeMap처럼 행동한다.

If you want the database itself to order the collection elements, use the order-by attribute of set, bag or map mappings. This solution is only available under JDK 1.4 or higher and is implemented using LinkedHashSet or LinkedHashMap. This performs the ordering in the SQL query and not in the memory.

<set name="aliases" table="person_aliases" order-by="lower(name) asc"> <key column="person"/> <element column="name" type="string"/> </set> <map name="holidays" order-by="hol_date, hol_name"> <key column="year_id"/> <map-key column="hol_name" type="string"/> <element column="hol_date type="date"/> </map>

Associations can even be sorted by arbitrary criteria at runtime using a collection filter():

sortedUsers = s.createFilter( group.getUsers(), "order by this.name" ).list();

A bidirectional association allows navigation from both "ends" of the association. Two kinds of bidirectional association are supported:

You can specify a bidirectional many-to-many association by mapping two many-to-many associations to the same database table and declaring one end as inverse. You cannot select an indexed collection.

Here is an example of a bidirectional many-to-many association that illustrates how each category can have many items and each item can be in many categories:

<class name="Category"> <id name="id" column="CATEGORY_ID"/> ... <bag name="items" table="CATEGORY_ITEM"> <key column="CATEGORY_ID"/> <many-to-many class="Item" column="ITEM_ID"/> </bag> </class> <class name="Item"> <id name="id" column="ITEM_ID"/> ... <!-- inverse end --> <bag name="categories" table="CATEGORY_ITEM" inverse="true"> <key column="ITEM_ID"/> <many-to-many class="Category" column="CATEGORY_ID"/> </bag> </class>

Changes made only to the inverse end of the association are not persisted. This means that Hibernate has two representations in memory for every bidirectional association: one link from A to B and another link from B to A. This is easier to understand if you think about the Java object model and how a many-to-many relationship in Javais created:

category.getItems().add(item); // The category now "knows" about the relationship item.getCategories().add(category); // The item now "knows" about the relationship session.persist(item); // The relationship won't be saved! session.persist(category); // The relationship will be saved

non-inverse 측은 메모리 내 표상을 데이터베이스로 저장하는데 사용된다.

You can define a bidirectional one-to-many association by mapping a one-to-many association to the same table column(s) as a many-to-one association and declaring the many-valued end inverse="true".

<class name="Parent"> <id name="id" column="parent_id"/> .... <set name="children" inverse="true"> <key column="parent_id"/> <one-to-many class="Child"/> </set> </class> <class name="Child"> <id name="id" column="child_id"/> .... <many-to-one name="parent" class="Parent" column="parent_id" not-null="true"/> </class>

Mapping one end of an association with inverse="true" does not affect the operation of cascades as these are orthogonal concepts.

A bidirectional association where one end is represented as a <list> or <map>, requires special consideration. If there is a property of the child class that maps to the index column you can use inverse="true" on the collection mapping:

<class name="Parent"> <id name="id" column="parent_id"/> .... <map name="children" inverse="true"> <key column="parent_id"/> <map-key column="name" type="string"/> <one-to-many class="Child"/> </map> </class> <class name="Child"> <id name="id" column="child_id"/> .... <property name="name" not-null="true"/> <many-to-one name="parent" class="Parent" column="parent_id" not-null="true"/> </class>

If there is no such property on the child class, the association cannot be considered truly bidirectional. That is, there is information available at one end of the association that is not available at the other end. In this case, you cannot map the collection inverse="true". Instead, you could use the following mapping:

<class name="Parent"> <id name="id" column="parent_id"/> .... <map name="children"> <key column="parent_id" not-null="true"/> <map-key column="name" type="string"/> <one-to-many class="Child"/> </map> </class> <class name="Child"> <id name="id" column="child_id"/> .... <many-to-one name="parent" class="Parent" column="parent_id" insert="false" update="false" not-null="true"/> </class>

Note that in this mapping, the collection-valued end of the association is responsible for updates to the foreign key.

There are three possible approaches to mapping a ternary association. One approach is to use a Map with an association as its index:

<map name="contracts"> <key column="employer_id" not-null="true"/> <map-key-many-to-many column="employee_id" class="Employee"/> <one-to-many class="Contract"/> </map>

<map name="connections"> <key column="incoming_node_id"/> <map-key-many-to-many column="outgoing_node_id" class="Node"/> <many-to-many column="connection_id" class="Connection"/> </map>

A second approach is to remodel the association as an entity class. This is the most common approach.

A final alternative is to use composite elements, which will be discussed later.

The majority of the many-to-many associations and collections of values shown previously all map to tables with composite keys, even though it has been have suggested that entities should have synthetic identifiers (surrogate keys). A pure association table does not seem to benefit much from a surrogate key, although a collection of composite values might. It is for this reason that Hibernate provides a feature that allows you to map many-to-many associations and collections of values to a table with a surrogate key.

The <idbag> element lets you map a List (or Collection) with bag semantics. For example:

<idbag name="lovers" table="LOVERS"> <collection-id column="ID" type="long"> <generator class="sequence"/> </collection-id> <key column="PERSON1"/> <many-to-many column="PERSON2" class="Person" fetch="join"/> </idbag>

An <idbag> has a synthetic id generator, just like an entity class. A different surrogate key is assigned to each collection row. Hibernate does not, however, provide any mechanism for discovering the surrogate key value of a particular row.

The update performance of an <idbag> supersedes a regular <bag>. Hibernate can locate individual rows efficiently and update or delete them individually, similar to a list, map or set.

현재 구현에서, native 식별자 생성 방도는 <idbag> 콜렉션 식별자들에 대해 지원되지 않는다.

단방향 many-to-one 연관은 가장 공통적인 종류의 단방향 연관이다.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

foreign 키에 대한 단방향 one-to-one 연관은 대개 아주 동일하다. 유일한 차이점은 컬럼 유일(unique) 컨스트레인트이다.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" unique="true" not-null="true"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null unique ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A unidirectional one-to-one association on a primary key usually uses a special id generator In this example, however, we have reversed the direction of the association:

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="foreign"> <param name="property">person</param> </generator> </id> <one-to-one name="person" constrained="true"/> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table Address ( personId bigint not null primary key )

A unidirectional one-to-many association on a foreign key is an unusual case, and is not recommended.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="addresses"> <key column="personId" not-null="true"/> <one-to-many class="Address"/> </set> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key, personId bigint not null )

You should instead use a join table for this kind of association.

A unidirectional one-to-many association on a join table is the preferred option. Specifying unique="true", changes the multiplicity from many-to-many to one-to-many.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="addresses" table="PersonAddress"> <key column="personId"/> <many-to-many column="addressId" unique="true" class="Address"/> </set> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId not null, addressId bigint not null primary key ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A unidirectional many-to-one association on a join table is common when the association is optional. For example:

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <join table="PersonAddress" optional="true"> <key column="personId" unique="true"/> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true"/> </join> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A unidirectional one-to-one association on a join table is possible, but extremely unusual.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <join table="PersonAddress" optional="true"> <key column="personId" unique="true"/> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true" unique="true"/> </join> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null unique ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

Finally, here is an example of a unidirectional many-to-many association.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="addresses" table="PersonAddress"> <key column="personId"/> <many-to-many column="addressId" class="Address"/> </set> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null, addressId bigint not null, primary key (personId, addressId) ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A bidirectional many-to-one association is the most common kind of association. The following example illustrates the standard parent/child relationship.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="people" inverse="true"> <key column="addressId"/> <one-to-many class="Person"/> </set> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

If you use a List, or other indexed collection, set the key column of the foreign key to not null. Hibernate will manage the association from the collections side to maintain the index of each element, making the other side virtually inverse by setting update="false" and insert="false":

<class name="Person"> <id name="id"/> ... <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true" insert="false" update="false"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id"/> ... <list name="people"> <key column="addressId" not-null="true"/> <list-index column="peopleIdx"/> <one-to-many class="Person"/> </list> </class>

If the underlying foreign key column is NOT NULL, it is important that you define not-null="true" on the <key> element of the collection mapping. Do not only declare not-null="true" on a possible nested <column> element, but on the <key> element.

A bidirectional one-to-one association on a foreign key is common:

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" unique="true" not-null="true"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <one-to-one name="person" property-ref="address"/> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null unique ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A bidirectional one-to-one association on a primary key uses the special id generator:

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <one-to-one name="address"/> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="foreign"> <param name="property">person</param> </generator> </id> <one-to-one name="person" constrained="true"/> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table Address ( personId bigint not null primary key )

The following is an example of a bidirectional one-to-many association on a join table. The inverse="true" can go on either end of the association, on the collection, or on the join.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="addresses" table="PersonAddress"> <key column="personId"/> <many-to-many column="addressId" unique="true" class="Address"/> </set> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <join table="PersonAddress" inverse="true" optional="true"> <key column="addressId"/> <many-to-one name="person" column="personId" not-null="true"/> </join> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null, addressId bigint not null primary key ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

A bidirectional one-to-one association on a join table is possible, but extremely unusual.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <join table="PersonAddress" optional="true"> <key column="personId" unique="true"/> <many-to-one name="address" column="addressId" not-null="true" unique="true"/> </join> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <join table="PersonAddress" optional="true" inverse="true"> <key column="addressId" unique="true"/> <many-to-one name="person" column="personId" not-null="true" unique="true"/> </join> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null primary key, addressId bigint not null unique ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )

Here is an example of a bidirectional many-to-many association.

<class name="Person"> <id name="id" column="personId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="addresses" table="PersonAddress"> <key column="personId"/> <many-to-many column="addressId" class="Address"/> </set> </class> <class name="Address"> <id name="id" column="addressId"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <set name="people" inverse="true" table="PersonAddress"> <key column="addressId"/> <many-to-many column="personId" class="Person"/> </set> </class>

create table Person ( personId bigint not null primary key ) create table PersonAddress ( personId bigint not null, addressId bigint not null, primary key (personId, addressId) ) create table Address ( addressId bigint not null primary key )
