Open Session In View takes a bad approach to fetching data. Instead of letting the business layer decide how it’s best to fetch all the associations that are needed by the View layer, it forces the Persistence Context to stay open so that the View layer can trigger the Proxy initialization. The OpenSessionInViewFilter calls the … Read more
With Hibernate as JPA 1.0 provider, you can escape a reserved keyword by enclosing it within backticks: @Column(name=”`open`”) This is the syntax inherited from Hiberate Core: 5.4. SQL quoted identifiers You can force Hibernate to quote an identifier in the generated SQL by enclosing the table or column name in backticks in the mapping document. … Read more
There are arguments for both, but most of them stem from certain user requirements “what if you need to add logic for”, or “xxxx breaks encapsulation”. However, nobody has really commented on the theory, and given a properly reasoned argument. What is Hibernate/JPA actually doing when it persists an object – well, it is persisting … Read more
For the record, the spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto property is Spring Data JPA specific and is their way to specify a value that will eventually be passed to Hibernate under the property it knows, hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto. The values create, create-drop, validate, and update basically influence how the schema tool management will manipulate the database schema at startup. For example, … Read more
To map a composite key, you can use the EmbeddedId or the IdClass annotations. I know this question is not strictly about JPA but the rules defined by the specification also applies. So here they are: 2.1.4 Primary Keys and Entity Identity … A composite primary key must correspond to either a single persistent field … Read more
I think a newer version of hibernate (supporting JPA 2.0) should handle this. But otherwise you can work it around by annotating the collection fields with: @LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE) Remember to remove the fetchType attribute from the @*ToMany annotation. But note that in most cases a Set<Child> is more appropriate than List<Child>, so unless you really need … Read more
Sometimes you have two entities and there’s a relationship between them. For example, you might have an entity called University and another entity called Student and a University might have many Students: The University entity might have some basic properties such as id, name, address, etc. as well as a collection property called students that … Read more
You should include cascade=”all” (if using xml) or cascade=CascadeType.ALL (if using annotations) on your collection mapping. This happens because you have a collection in your entity, and that collection has one or more items which are not present in the database. By specifying the above options you tell hibernate to save them to the database … Read more
Put the “hibernate-entitymanager.jar” in the classpath of application. For newer versions, you should use “hibernate-core.jar” instead of the deprecated hibernate-entitymanager If you are running through some IDE, like Eclipse: Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries. Otherwise put it in the /lib of your application.
The solution is simple, just use the CascadeType.MERGE instead of CascadeType.PERSIST or CascadeType.ALL. I have had the same problem and CascadeType.MERGE has worked for me. I hope you are sorted.
