Hibernate example using xml mapping

As we discussed primary things like hibernate architecture, object states, configuration files, mapping files, transaction management to make a hibernate program. Let us start with a simple hibernate program to save a student class object into the database.

Example:

Student.java

/**
 * This class represents a persistent class for Student.
 * @author w3spoint
 */
public class Student {
	//data members
	private int studentId;
	private String firstName;
	private String lastName;
	private String className;
	private String rollNo;
	private int age;
 
	//no-argument constructor
	public Student(){
 
	}
 
	//getter and setter methods
	public int getStudentId() {
		return studentId;
	}
 
	public void setStudentId(int studentId) {
		this.studentId = studentId;
	}
 
	public String getFirstName() {
		return firstName;
	}
 
	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}
 
	public String getLastName() {
		return lastName;
	}
 
	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
		this.lastName = lastName;
	}
 
	public String getClassName() {
		return className;
	}
 
	public void setClassName(String className) {
		this.className = className;
	}
 
	public String getRollNo() {
		return rollNo;
	}
 
	public void setRollNo(String rollNo) {
		this.rollNo = rollNo;
	}
 
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
 
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
}

    </session-factory>

HibernateUtil.java

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
 
/**

public class HibernateUtil {
    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = 
                                           buildSessionFactory();

        	// Get the SessionFactory object from configuration.
        	sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return sessionFactory;
    }
 
    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

HibernateTest.java

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;

/**

public class HibernateTest {
	public static void main(String args[]){
	//Create the student object.
	Student student = new Student();
 
	//Setting the object properties.
	student.setFirstName("Vivek");
	student.setLastName("Solenki");
	student.setClassName("MCA final");
	student.setRollNo("MCA/07/70");
	student.setAge(27);
 
	Transaction tx = null;
	//Get the session object.
	Session session = 
                   HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
	try{
              //Start hibernate session.
	      tx = session.beginTransaction();
 
              //Insert a new student record in the database.
	      session.save(student); 
 
              //Commit hibernate transaction if no exception occurs.
	      tx.commit();
	  }catch (HibernateException e) {
	     if(tx!=null){
                 //Roll back if any exception occurs. 
	         tx.rollback();
	     }
	     e.printStackTrace(); 
	  }finally {
             //Close hibernate session.
	     session.close(); 
	  }
	}
}

Output:

Hibernate: select hibernate_sequence.nextval from dual
Hibernate: insert into Student (First_Name, Last_Name, Class, 
RollNo, Age, Student_Id) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
