Question

I’m a begginer in Hibernate, and I’m trying to save test data into a table. Everytime I run the script, my data is overwritten, even the ID field, which is autogenerated. Can you help me?

System: (win7 32, Eclipse Indigo SR2, Jboss Hybernate 3.5.1)

public class testeHibernate {

public testeHibernate() {
}

/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {

    Session session = SessionFactoryUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
    session.beginTransaction();
    Status st = new Status();
    st.setAbrev("CON");
    st.setDescricao("Consultado");
    st.setFim(false);
    st.setVigente(true);
    session.persist(st);
    List result = session.createQuery("FROM Status").list();

    for(Status sta : (List<Status>) result){
        System.out.println(sta.getDescricao());
    }

    session.getTransaction().commit();

}

}

public class SessionFactoryUtil {

private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
    try {
        // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
        sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

    } catch (Throwable ex) {
        // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
        System.err.println("Falha na criação da SessionFactory Inicial: " + ex);
        throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
    }
}

public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
    return sessionFactory;
}

}

xml mapping

<class name="br.com.bb.analop.classes.Status" table="analop_status">

    <id name="id" column="ID">
        <generator class="native" />
    </id>

    <property name="descricao">
        <column name="DESCRICAO" length="30" not-null="true" />

Change this:

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

to this:

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>

Create drops and recreates your database each time you start the application. Update will only update your schema if needed, but (if possible) leave the data untouched
