Hibernate Mapping Problems: Multiple Embeddables + ElementCollections - java

I have a LocalizedString Embeddable that looks like this:
#Embeddable
public class LocalizedString {
#ElementCollection(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private Map<String, String> stringMap;
// getter, setter
}
and an Article class that is supposed to make use of the LocalizedString:
#Entity
public class Article {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private long id;
#Embedded
private LocalizedString title;
#Embedded
private LocalizedString text;
// getter, setter
}
Generating the tables works just fine, but when I try to insert an Article I get the following exception:
Duplicate entry '1-test2' for key 'PRIMARY'
After looking at the database structure it's obvious why. Hibernate only generated one article_string_map table with the a primary key constraint over the article id and the key of the map.
Googling this problem led me to this question on SO and the answer to include the #AttributeOverride annotations:
#Entity
public class Article {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private long id;
#AttributeOverride(name="stringMap",column=#Column(name="title_stringMap"))
#Embedded
private LocalizedString title;
#AttributeOverride(name="stringMap",column=#Column(name="text_stringMap"))
#Embedded
private LocalizedString text;
}
This does not work either though, since Hibernate now complains about this:
Repeated column in mapping for collection:
test.model.Article.title.stringMap column: title_string_map
I do not understand what exactly is causing this error and I couldn't really translate the things I did find out about it to my specific problem.
My question is, what else do I need to fix to make LocalizedString work as an Embeddable? I'd also like to know why Hibernate is saying that I mapped title_string_map twice, even though I don't mention it twice in my entire project. Is there some kind of default mapping going on that I need to override?
How can I tell Hibernate to map this correctly?
(Also, I don't have a persistence.xml since I'm purely using annotations for configuration)

I figured it out on my own.
In order to map a ElementCollection I had to use #AssociationOverride combined with the joinTable attribute. The working Article class looks like this now:
#Entity
public class Article {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private long id;
#AssociationOverride(name = "stringMap", joinTable = #JoinTable(name = "title_stringMap"))
#Embedded
private LocalizedString title;
#AssociationOverride(name = "stringMap", joinTable = #JoinTable(name = "text_stringMap"))
#Embedded
private LocalizedString text;
// getters, setters
}

Spring and JPA 2.0 - Single value Primary Key through OneToOne

I have a simple table (ActivityLog) and I want it to have a PK that is also a FK to another table (User).
It seems to be a common thing to have, and I tried to follow this wikibook
Primary Keys through OneToOne and ManyToOne Relationships. The example there involved a composite key. I need just a primitive key, so I ended up with:
#Entity
public class User {
#Id
private Long id;
// other stuff
}
#Entity
public class ActivityLog {
#Id
#OneToOne(optional = false)
#JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")
private User user;
// other stuff
}
Unfortunately i am getting:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This class [class com.example.ActivityLog] does not define an IdClass
at org.hibernate.metamodel.internal.AbstractIdentifiableType.getIdClassAttributes(AbstractIdentifiableType.java:183)
at org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.support.JpaMetamodelEntityInformation$IdMetadata.<init>(JpaMetamodelEntityInformation.java:253)
I tried to annotate ActivityLog with:
#IdClass(Long.class)
(even though from what I understand it is applicable only for composite keys), yet I am getting the exact same error.
Is my case different than what's on the mentioned wikibook?
Is Spring at fault here? (As suggested in this question? (no accepted answers)).
This should help:
#Entity
public class ActivityLog {
#Id
#Column(name = "user_id")
private Long id;
#OneToOne(optional = false)
#JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")
private User user;
// other stuff
}
Btw. I would expect, that you need more logs per user, so you would probably need some additional (generated) id anyway ...

Hibernate - Many to One relationship, possibility to delete last shared reference automatically?

I have a many-to-one relationship and I like that the last shared reference should get deleted by hibernate automatically. The questions are
is this is supported by hibernate?
if not can I achieve this by adding some kind of api callbacks from JPA/Hibernate rather then fully code it in the DAOs by myself?
Example I have an "Attribute" (Name/Value Pair) which is an entity and its shares some "Translation" for its name with other Attributes. So if an attribute get deleted hibernate should check if still another attribute exists where the same translation is used. If there is no one left the translation should be deleted as well.
#Entity
public class Attribute {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int id;
private String name;
#Lob
private String value;
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY, cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
#JoinColumn(name="name_translation_id")
private Translation nameTranslation;
...
}
#Entity
public class Translation {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int id;
#ElementCollection (fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
#CollectionTable(name= "translation_values", joinColumns = #JoinColumn(name = "translation_id"))
#MapKeyColumn(name="language_code")
#Column(name = "value")
#Lob
private Map<String, String> values = new HashMap<String, String>();
...
}
I am using hibernate v4.3.
I think Jpa Entity Listeners good choice for you
for your question write one metod and anotate #PostRemove in Attribute.class
#PostRemove
public void removeTranslationByAttribute(Attribute attribute){
List<Attribute> attributes = AttributeRepository.getByNameTranslationId(attribute.getNameTranslation()); //get all atribute by `name_translation_id`
if(attributes.size() == 0) // when not include atrribute in list`name_translation_id`
TranslationRepository.deleteById(attribute.getNameTranslation()); // delete translation object by `name_translation_id`
}

JPA: Foreign key that is also a primary key mapping

I have been trying to solve this for whole day but no luck! Also i tried to read most of the tutorials on the net but as you all know they all are full of useless examples that do not reflect what you need in the real world.
So here is my situation:
The database:
table: vehicles(vehicleId, brand, model, devYear, regNumber) <-- vehicleId is the PrimaryKey
table: extras(vehicleId, allowSmoke, allowFood, allowDrinks, airConditioner) <-- vehicleId is a PK and a FK.
The point is that if i have a class Vehicle and a class TravelExtras which are mapped to the database i want the Vehicle class to have an attribute TravelExtras travelExtras and get and set methods.
Unfortunatelly no matter what i tried when i try to persist the object in the databse i get various errors.
Here is an illustration:
EntityManagerFactory emfactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory( "NaStopPU" );
EntityManager entitymanager = emfactory.createEntityManager( );
entitymanager.getTransaction( ).begin( );
TravelExtra travelExtra = new TravelExtra();
entitymanager.persist(travelExtra);
Vehicle vehicle = new Vehicle(2L, "10152487958556242", "Mazda", "626", "334343", 2005, 4);
vehicle.setTravelExtra(travelExtra);
entitymanager.persist(vehicle);
entitymanager.getTransaction().commit();
entitymanager.close( );
emfactory.close( );
Any one knows what kind of annotations to use for this One to one case ?
The Java Persistence wikibook has a section called Primary Keys through OneToOne and ManyToOne Relationships which seems to indicate that what you want is possible.
If I'm reading it right, for your case, it would look something like:
class Vehicle {
#Id
#Column(name = "EXTRAS_ID")
private long extrasId;
#OneToOne(mappedBy="vehicle", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
private TravelExtra extras;
}
class TravelExtras {
#Id
#Column(name = "VEHICLE_ID")
private long vehicleId;
#OneToOne
#PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="VEHICLE_ID", referencedColumnName="EXTRAS_ID")
private Vehicle vehicle;
public TravelExtras(Vehicle vehicle) {
this.vehicleId = vehicle.getId();
this.vehicle = vehicle;
}
}
Note that one of your entities will need to make sure it has the same id as the other, which is accomplished in the example by the TravelExtras constructor requiring the Vehicle it is bound to.
I know this is very old qs, but for completeness of your case
you can just have (jpa 2.0)
#Entity
#Data
public class Vehicle implements Serializable{
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private long vehicleId;
.. //other props
}
#Entity
#Data
public class VehicleExtras implements Serializable{
#Id
#OneToOne (cascade = CASCADE.ALL)
#MapsId
#JoinColumn(name ="vehicleId")
private Vehicle vehicle;
#Column
private boolean allowSmoke;
..// other props.
}
should share same pk/fk for VehicleExtra table
Why don't you use an #Embedded object? When using an embedded object, you get
the logical separation you desire in your code and keep your database compliant with Entity-Relational Normalization rules.
It's weird to think on a One-to-One relationship, because even though JPA/Hibernate allows it, all data should be stored in the same table, making you model simpler, while also simplifying queries and increasing database performance by removing the need for a Join operation.
When using Embedded objects you don't have to worry about mapping IDs and bizarre relations, since your ORM is capable of understanding that your just making a code separation, instead of demanding an actual relation of One-to-One between tables.
class Vehicle {
#Id
#Column(name = "ID")
private long vehicleId;
#Column(name = "BRAND")
private String brand;
#Column(name = "MODEL")
private String model;
#Column(name = "DEV_YEAR")
private int devYear;
#Column(name = "REG_NUMBER")
private int regNumber;
#Embedded
private TravelExtra extras;
// Constructor, getters and setters...
}
.
#Embeddable
class TravelExtras {
#Column(name = "ALLOW_SMOKE")
private boolean allowSmoke;
#Column(name = "ALLOW_FOOD")
private boolean allowFood;
#Column(name = "ALLOW_DRINKS")
private boolean allowDrinks;
#Column(name = "AIR_CONDITIONER")
private boolean airConditioner;
// Default Constructor, getters and setters...
}
You can map your classes for example with Netbeans. It will generate annotations. The problem could be your dao layer. You have to persist objects in correct way. For example can't save travelExtra without Vehicle. Also be aware of owning side.

Hibernate and #JoinFormula: org.hibernate.mapping.Formula cannot be cast to org.hibernate.mapping.Column

I'm trying to write a hibernate adapter for an old database schema. This schema does not have a dedicated id column, but uses about three other columns to join data.
On some tables, I need to use coalesce. This is what I came up with so far:
About the definition:
A car can have elements, assigned by the car's user or by the car's group of users.
If FORIGN_ELEMENT holds a user's name, definition will be 'u'
If FORIGN_ELEMENT holds a group's name, definition will be 'g'
This also means, one table (CAR_TO_ELEMENT) is misused to map cars to elements and cargroups to elements. I defined a superclass CarElement and subclasses CarUserElement and CarGroupElement.
state is either "active" or an uninteresting string
I set definitition and state elsewhere, we do not need to worry about this.
Use DEP_NR on the join table. If it's zero, use USR_DEP_NR. I did this with COALESCE(NULLIF()) successfully in native SQL and want to achieve the same in Hibernate with Pojos.
Okay, here we go with the code:
#Entity
#Table(name="CAR")
public class Car extends TableEntry implements Serializable {
#Id
#Column(name="DEP_NR")
private int depnr;
#Id
#Column(name="USER_NAME")
#Type(type="TrimmedString")
private String username;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity=CarGroup.class)
#JoinColumns(value={
#JoinColumn(name="GROUP_NAME"),
#JoinColumn(name="DEP_NR"),
#JoinColumn(name="state"),
})
private CarGroup group;
#OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity=CarUserElement.class, mappedBy="car")
private Set<CarUserElement> elements;
}
#Entity
#Table(name="CAR_GROUP")
public class CarGroup extends TableEntry implements Serializable {
#Id
#Column(name="DEP_NR")
private int depnr;
#Id
#Column(name="GROUP_NAME")
#Type(type="TrimmedString")
private String group;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity=Car.class)
#JoinColumns(value={
#JoinColumn(name="GROUP_NAME"),
#JoinColumn(name="DEP_NR"),
#JoinColumn(name="state"),
})
private Set<Car> cars;
#OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity=CarGroupElement.class, mappedBy="car")
private Set<CarGroupElement> elements;
}
#MappedSuperclass
public class CarElement extends TableEntry {
#Id
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity=Element.class)
#JoinColumns(value={
#JoinColumn(name="ELEMENT_NAME"),
#JoinColumn(name="state"),
})
private Element element;
}
#Entity
#Table(name="CAR_TO_ELEMENT")
public class CarUserElement extends CarElement {
#Id
#Column(name="DEFINITION")
private char definition;
#Id
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumnsOrFormulas(value = {
#JoinColumnOrFormula(formula=#JoinFormula(value="COALESCE(NULLIF(DEP_NR, 0), USR_DEP_NR)", referencedColumnName="DEP_NR")),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="FORIGN_ELEMENT", referencedColumnName="USER_NAME")),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="STATE", referencedColumnName="STATE"))
})
private Car car;
}
#Entity
#Table(name="CAR_TO_ELEMENT")
public class CarGroupElement extends CarElement {
#Id
#Column(name="DEFINITION")
private char definition;
#Id
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumnsOrFormulas(value = {
#JoinColumnOrFormula(formula=#JoinFormula(value="COALESCE(NULLIF(DEP_NR, 0), USR_DEP_NR)", referencedColumnName="DEP_NR")),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="FORIGN_ELEMENT", referencedColumnName="GROUP_NAME")),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="STATE", referencedColumnName="STATE"))
})
private Car car;
}
I tried all available versions of hibernate (from 3.5.1 [first version with #JoinColumnsOrFormulas] up to 4.x.x), but I always get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.mapping.Formula cannot be cast to org.hibernate.mapping.Column

Other hibernate users seem to have the same problem: They can't get it working with any version, see this thread and other stackoverflow questions:
https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1010559
To be more complete, here's my TrimmedString Class:

Thanks in advance!
PS: It works with joining just these three colulmns with just one DEP-NR-Column (i.e. either DEP_NR OR USR_DEP_NR using just #JoinColumns). But I need this coalesce(nullif()).
I ran into a similar problem, and it seems that the issue is that you are using a #Formula inside an #Id. Hibernate wants Ids to be insertable, and Formulas are read-only.
In my case I was able to work around the problem by making the individual columns Id properties on their own, and making the joined object a separate property. I don't know if this would work in your case since you're using two different columns in your formula, but if so your code might look something like:
#Entity
#Table(name="CAR_TO_ELEMENT")
public class CarUserElement extends CarElement {
#Id
#Column(name="DEFINITION")
private char definition;
#Id
#Column(name="DEP_NR")
private Integer depNr;
#Id
#Column(name="USR_DEP_NR")
private Integer usrDepNr;
#Id
#Column(name="FORIGN_ELEMENT")
private String userName;
#Id
#Column(name="STATE")
private String state;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumnsOrFormulas(value = {
#JoinColumnOrFormula(formula=#JoinFormula(value="COALESCE(NULLIF(DEP_NR, 0), USR_DEP_NR)", referencedColumnName="DEP_NR")),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="FORIGN_ELEMENT", referencedColumnName="USER_NAME", insertable = false, updatable = false)),
#JoinColumnOrFormula(column=#JoinColumn(name="STATE", referencedColumnName="STATE", insertable = false, updatable = false))
})
private Car car;
}
Join formulas are very fragile in Hibernate for the time being; I always had a difficult time to get them work properly.
The workaround that helped me often was to create database views which exposed the proper columns (including foreign keys that don't exist in the original tables). Then I mapped the entities to the views using classing Hibernate/JPA mappings.
Sometimes there are redundant joins in the generated SQL when using such entities, but the database optimizes such queries in most cases so that the execution plan is optimal anyway.
Another approach could be using #Subselects, which are some kind of Hibernate views, but I expect them to be less performant than the classic database views.
I ran into the cast exception as well and I'm on Hibernate 5.x.
Until Hibernate dedicates time to fix the issue, I found that while this guy's approach may not be cleanest (he even eludes to that fact!), it works.
You just need to add the #Column mappings (and get/set methods) to your association table objects that are returning null and manually set the values when you populate the relation data. Simple but effective!

JPA OneToMany and ManyToOne with a composite key is generating a third table

I'm mapping a Filter ---< FilterColumn where Filter presents cardinality one and FilterColumn N. So the mapped classes are:
#Entity
public class Filter implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
private String name;
private String caption;
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.MERGE, targetEntity = FilterColumn.class)
private Set<FilterColumn> columns;
// setters and getters
}
#Entity
public class FilterColumn implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#EmbeddedId
private FilterColumnId id;
private String caption;
// getters and setters
#Embeddable
public static class FilterColumnId implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#ManyToOne
private Filter filter;
#Column
private String name;
// getters and setters
}
}
But when I start the application with drop-create instruction the following 3 tables are created:
Filter PK(name)
FilterColumn PK(filter_name, name)
Filter_FilterColumn PK(filter_filter_name, filterColumn_filter_name, filterColumn_name)
What I really want is just two tables like:
Filter PK(name)
Filter_Column PK(name, filter_name)
Why do I receive this result? Is there something wrong with my mapping? What should I change?
Thanks in advance.
I think you need a mappedBy on the #OneToMany. Without that, the mapper doesn't know that it can look at the filtercolumn table to find the entities associated with a Filter, so it generates the filter_filtercolumn table.
Not sure off the top of my head how you to a mappedBy with a composite key. Given that you're using an #EmbeddedId, i think it's simply mappedBy = "id".
Can you use a #ManyToOne in a key class like that? Is that a Hibernate extension over and above the JPA spec? Wouldn't you normally need a #MapsId in there somewhere?
Try adding a #JoinColumn annotation on the Filter member of your composite id. The actual column would be whatever the id of the of the Filter table is (or just leave it without a name if you let hibernate generate it all).
Let me know if this works as I had a similar problem and solved it using the above so I do know it's possible. The only other thing mine has is a #ForeignKey annotation but I think hibernate will take care of that for you -- I just did mine because I wanted to stick to a naming convention.
