Question

I have a simple spring mvc project for adding users into database.
I use hibernate 4.1.9, spring framework 3.2.0 and PostgreSQL 9.2.

See my code below

User bean

package org.vdzundza.beans;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "user_seq")
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "user_seq", sequenceName = "user_seq")
    @Column(name = "id")
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "network")
    private String network;

    @Column(name = "photo")
    private String photo;

    @Column(name = "identity")
    private String identity;

    @Column(name = "firstname")
    private String firstName;

    @Column(name = "lastname")
    private String lastName;

    @Column(name = "hash")
    private String hash;

    @Column(name = "isonline")
    private Boolean isOnline;

    public User() {
    }
    //getters and setters

    @Override
    public String toString(){
        StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
        out.append("[");
        out.append("name: " + firstName + " " + lastName);
        out.append("\tnetwork: " + network);
        out.append("\t Is online: " + isOnline);
        return out.toString();

    }        
}

UserDAO

package org.vdzundza.dao;

import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.vdzundza.beans.User;

@Repository
public class UserDAOImpl implements UserDao {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    @Override
    public void addUser(User user) {
        sessionFactory.openSession().save(user);
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    public List<User> listUser() {
        return sessionFactory.openSession().createCriteria(User.class).list();
    }
}

UserService

package org.vdzundza.service;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import org.vdzundza.beans.User;
import org.vdzundza.dao.UserDao;

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

    @Autowired
    private UserDao userDAO;

    @Transactional
    public void addUser(User user) {
        userDAO.addUser(user);
    }

    @Transactional
    public List<User> listUser() {
        return userDAO.listUser();
    }
}

New user isn’t saved in database.
When I click “add user” I see this in console:

Hibernate: select nextval ('user_seq')
Hibernate: select this_.id as id0_0_, this_.firstname as firstname0_0_, this_.hash as hash0_0_, this_.identity as identity0_0_, this_.isonline as isonline0_0_, this_.lastname as lastname0_0_, this_.network as network0_0_, this_.photo as photo0_0_ from users this_

How to fix this problem?

Answer 1

After you open the session and save the object… flush the session, then close it.

Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
session.save(user);
session.flush();
session.close();
