Question

I am using configuration as in the code listed below.
auto create/drop function seams not to work as it should (it does not create/maintain tables in the database (dataSource.setConnectionProperties(hibernateProperties());))

(It works when table is already created in the DB? I think that properties are not taken into consideration here?),

Config

package com.parisibw.persistance;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBuilder;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;

import com.parisibw.forms.Contact;

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class HibernateConfig {


    @Bean
    public SessionFactory sessionFactory() {
     return new LocalSessionFactoryBuilder(datasource()).addAnnotatedClasses(Account.class, Contact.class).buildSessionFactory();
    }

    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
        return new HibernateTransactionManager(sessionFactory());
    }

    @Bean
    public Properties hibernateProperties() {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect");
        properties.put("hibernate.show_sql", "true");       
        properties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");

        //properties.put("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "org.h2.Driver");
        //properties.put("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:h2:db/test;CIPHER=AES");

        //properties.put("hibernate.cache.use_minimal_puts", "true");
        //properties.put("hibernate.max_fetch_depth", "10");        

        return properties;
    }

    @Bean
    public DataSource datasource() {
        final DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
            dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://dbpath");
            dataSource.setUsername("username");
            dataSource.setPassword("password");
            dataSource.setConnectionProperties(hibernateProperties());
            return dataSource;
    }

}

Account

@Entity @Table(name="T_ACCOUNT")
public class Account {

    @Id 
    private long id;
    @Column
    private double cashBalance;
    @Column
    private String name;

    public long getId() {
          return id;
    }
    public void setId(long id) {
          this.id = id;
    }
    public double getCashBalance() {
          return cashBalance;
    }
    public void setCashBalance(double cashBalance) {
        this.cashBalance = cashBalance;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return  "id: " + id + ", balance: " + cashBalance + ", name: " + name;

    }

test class

@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String homeTest(Model model) {
    Account account = new Account();

    try{    
        sessionFactory = new HibernateConfig().sessionFactory();
    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    session.beginTransaction();
    //account.setId(2);
    account.setName("Marcin");
    account.setCashBalance(1200);
    session.save(account);
    session.getTransaction().commit();
    session.close();

    }catch (Exception e) {
        logger.info(e.toString());
    }

    model.addAttribute("serverTime" );
    return "test";
}

Answer 1

You’re passing your hibernate properties as connection properties for your datasource. Instead, they should be passed to the sessionfactory.

@Bean
public SessionFactory sessionFactory() {
 return new LocalSessionFactoryBuilder(datasource())
   .addAnnotatedClasses(Account.class, Contact.class)
   .addProperties(hibernateProperties())
   .buildSessionFactory();
}

See http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/javadocs/org/hibernate/cfg/Configuration.html?is-external=true (parent class for LocalSessionFactoryBuilder)
