hibernate – get id after save object

by

The session.save(object) returns the id of the object, or you could alternatively call the id getter method after performing a save.

Save() return value:

Serializable save(Object object) throws HibernateException

Returns:

the generated identifier

Getter method example:

UserDetails entity:

@Entity
public class UserDetails {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private int id;
    private String name;

    // Constructor, Setters & Getters
}

Logic to test the id’s :

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
session.getTransaction().begin();
UserDetails user1 = new UserDetails("user1");
UserDetails user2 = new UserDetails("user2");

//int userId = (Integer) session.save(user1); // if you want to save the id to some variable

System.out.println("before save : user id's = "+user1.getId() + " , " + user2.getId());

session.save(user1);
session.save(user2);

System.out.println("after save : user id's = "+user1.getId() + " , " + user2.getId());

session.getTransaction().commit();

Output of this code:

before save : user id’s = 0 , 0

after save : user id’s = 1 , 2

As per this output, you can see that the id’s were not set before we save the UserDetails entity, once you save the entities then Hibernate set’s the id’s for your objects – user1 and user2
