I have just started a Spring Roo application with Hibernate as a JPA2.0 provider.

  • 0

I have just started a Spring Roo application with Hibernate as a JPA2.0 provider. I am using the jars as follows:

hibernate-core-3.6.4.Final.jar

hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.jar

hibernate-entitymanager-3.6.4.Final.jar

hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar

hibernate-validator-4.1.0.Final.jar

I am using Annotations to handle the transactional aspect of the application, no problem there.

But there are other parts of the application that require very complex queries, and the way I had it handled in Hibernate before was to create a mapping file e.g (mybigdwquery.hbm.xml) where I would specify my query and its mapping object, a POJO. Not an @Entity. This works fine.

However, Through another question that I previously posted, I found out that in JPA 2.0 you cannot have queries mapped to a POJO, everything has to be mapped to an @Entity (a db table no?).

So my question is as follows:

Is there any way that I can have my ‘mybigdwquery.hbm.xml’ file loaded in my persistence.xml as a hbm.xml so that I can call the named query?

My persistence.xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="persistenceUnit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>             
        <properties>
            <!-- <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/> -->
            <!-- value="create" to build a new database on each run; value="update" to modify an existing database; value="create-drop" means the same as "create" but also drops tables when Hibernate closes; value="validate" makes no changes to the database -->            
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
            <property name="hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy" value="org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8"/>                                   
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>    
</persistence>

The file that I need loaded:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

This is my DAO:

@Repository
public class K12DaoImpl implements K12DaoManager{   

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;

//  @Autowired
//    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
//
//    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
//      this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
//  }

    @Override
    @Transactional(readOnly = true)
    public List<AttendanceBreakDown> getAttendanceBreakDownBySchoolAndGP(int school, String gradingPeriod, String gradeLevel) {

        Object values[] = new Object[]{new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                       new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                       new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                       new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                       new Integer(school), gradeLevel
                                      };
//        Call Named Query through JPA
//        Query query = em.createNamedQuery("attendanceDetailsBySchoolAndGradingPeriod");
//        
//        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
//          query.setParameter(i, values[i]);
//        }
//        
//        List<AttendanceBreakDown> list = query.getResultList();
//        

//        Call Named Query through Hibernate's SessionFactory        
//        org.hibernate.Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().getNamedQuery("attendanceDetailsBySchoolAndGradingPeriod");
//        
//        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
//          query.setParameter(i, values[i]);
//        }
//        
//        List<AttendanceBreakDown> list =  query.list();

        //Call Named Query through HibernateTemplate
        //List<AttendanceBreakDown> list =  getHibernateTemplate().findByNamedQuery("attendanceDetailsBySchoolAndGradingPeriod", values); 

        //return list;
        return null;
    }
}

Before, without using persistence.xml I had the typical hibernate.cfg.xml settings inside an applicationContext-datasource with it session factory, the session factory tied to the datasource etc.. an everything work fine.

Now I have persistence.xml, no more SessionFactory, EntityManager now.

How can I load hbm.xml files and execute them through Hibernate rather than through JPA 2.0 ?

If you see the commented code in the DAO If I was using a Hibernate config calling the named query through the HibernateTemplate (extending HibernateDaoSupport) was working. What would the code be like now ?

Thanks

    I have found the answer to my own question. To make it work this is what I have done:

    1. Use <mapping-file>…hbm.xml</mapping-file> inside <persistence-unit> in persistence.xml. I really did not have the use the <mapping-file>…hbm.xml</mapping-file> tag as that was giving me all sorts of exceptions one of them was DuplicateMappingException. According to the docs I also thought I had to use that tag, but it turns out that you do not have to.

    2. Created edu/kdc/visioncards/pojo/AttendanceBreakDown.hbm.xml under src/main/resources

    3. Finally in my DAO, I have as follows:

      @Override
      @Transactional(readOnly = true)
      public List<AttendanceBreakDown> getAttendanceBreakDownBySchoolAndGP(int school, String gradingPeriod, String gradeLevel) {
           Object values[] = new Object[]{new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                     new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                     new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                     new Integer(school), gradingPeriod, gradeLevel,
                                     new Integer(school), gradeLevel
                                    };
      
           org.hibernate.Session session = (Session) em.getDelegate();
           org.hibernate.Query query = session.getNamedQuery("attendanceDetailsBySchoolAndGradingPeriod");
           for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
              query.setParameter(i, values[i]);
           }
           List<AttendanceBreakDown> list =  query.list();
           return list;
      }
      

    Now I can use JPA 2.0 through EntityManager and step down to Hibernate’s Session to have access to all Hibernate features that JPA 2.0 does not offer.
