Mapping
Collections via *.hbm.xml and @ Annotations
Before start giving
details just note some basics about various collections
1. Java.util.List :
i.
Contains
heterogeneous elements.
ii.
Elements
are placed as per insertion order.
iii.
Can be
accessed via index, where set maintain its index.
2. Java.util.Set :
ii.
Contains
heterogeneous elements.
iii.
Elements
are placed in random order.
iv.
Can’t be
accessed via index.
3. Java.util.Map :
i.
Contains
key-value pairs.
ii.
Contains
heterogeneous values, can contain heterogeneous values.
iii.
Elements
are placed as per key.
iv.
Can be
accessed via index, here key act as an index.
4. Arrays :
i.
Can contain
only homogeneous values.
ii.
Elements
are placed as per insertion order.
iii.
Can be
accessed via index where index is internally maintained.
How to map
collection to database in hibernate :
As each collection
can hold multiple values i.e if a person is having emails, so a person can hold
multiple email id, while mapping these things to database we will be having
problem that a column can contain a single value.
In above case if we
are having a single table named ‘PERSON’ it will raise problem of having
multiple email values for ‘EMAIL’ column.
So to map
collection values, we have to create a separate table for column having
multiple values( EMAIL column will be carved out from PERSON table and a fresh
new table named EMAILS will be created to hold EMAIL values) and we have to link the primary table and
child table ( PERSON – EMAILS ) using foreign key constraint.
As few Collection
type also maintains their order so to maintain that we have to keep a column
named INDEX in database table.
Collection Type
|
*.hbm.xml
|
Annotation
|
List
|
<list name="emails"
table="emails">
<key
column="sid"/>
<index
column=”idx”/>
<element
column="email" type="string"/>
</list>
|
@CollectionOfElements
@JoinTable(name="emails", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="sid"))
@IndexColumn(name="idx")
@Column(name="email")
|
Set
|
<set
name="phones" table="phones">
<key
column="sid"/>
<element
column ="phones" type="long"/>
</set>
|
@CollectionOfElements
@JoinTable(name="phones", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="sid"))
@Column(name="phone")
Set<Long> phones;
|
Map
|
<map
name="refs" table="refs">
<key column="sid"/>
<index column="rname"
type="string"/>
<element column="rphone"
type="string"/>
</map>
|
@CollectionOfElements
@JoinTable(name="refs", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="sid"))
@IndexColumn(name="rname")
@Column(name="rphone")
Map<String,String> refs;
|
Arrays
|
<array name="courses" table="courses">
<key column="sid"/>
<index column="idx"/>
<element column="cname"
type="string"/>
</array>
|
@CollectionOfElements
@JoinTable(name="courses", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="sid"))
@IndexColumn(name="idx")
@Column(name="course")
String [] courses;

Points to ponder :
I am asking hibernate to create tables for me so no need to create tables separately.
I am asking hibernate to create tables for me so no need to create tables separately.
I am using MySQL
and database named ‘testdb2’. Please create a database ‘testdb2’ using command
Create database testdb2;
