Creating persistance layer with spring/hibernate - java

I'm trying to create a persistance project so it can be re-used by some other projects I'm building on top. I.e it will be used by a web service/spring mvc project and by standalone jar which does some file processing.
I've used hibernate with spring mvc before but never as a standalone executable java jar so I have everything setup and working(application context) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

When I test it from main class everything looks ok with mapping/dependencies :
public static void main(String[] args) {
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("appCtx.xml");
}
What I want to do next is to build few dao classes which will get some data and I'd build some interface above that so it can be re-used by both webservice and processing tool as a jar(maven dependency).
In order to build dao classes I need sessionFactory to be != null always. How do I do this?

There are many approaches to this. One solution I use is to use the javax.persistence.PersistenceContext annotation. Spring will respect this annotation and inject a proxy to a thread local EntityManager. Provided your DAO is created by Spring this allows access to the entity manager from within your DAO.
public class DAO {
private EntityManager entityManager;
#PersistenceContext
public void setEntityManager(EntityManager entityManager) {
this.entityManager = entityManager;
}
}

#Repository
public class MyDAO {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
// ...
}
and add the MyDAO bean to the context XML file, or simply add the following lines to this file:
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="one.of.the.parent.packages.of.your.dao" />

How correctly configure transaction manager in Spring?

Im trying to save the data into PostgreSQL database, I configure my dataSource bean:
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testdb"/>
<property name="username" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="123"/>
<!-- <property name="initialSize" value="5"/>-->
<!-- <property name="maxActive" value="10"/>-->
</bean>
then insert them into sessionFactory
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="packagesToScan">
<list>
<value>com.nazik.domain</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL10Dialect</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
and configure transactionManager
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
</bean>
but when I start transaction using code:
#Override
public void createPerson(final Person person) {
transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback<Void>() {
public Void doInTransaction(TransactionStatus transactionStatus){
try{
createPerson(person);
}catch (RuntimeException e){
transactionStatus.setRollbackOnly();
throw e;
}
return null;
}
});
}
i have got an error:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException: Bean named 'transactionManager' is expected to be of type 'org.hibernate.SessionFactory' but was actually of type 'org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager'

at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(AbstractApplicationContext.java:1160)
please explain me what am I doing wrong
I'm not completely sure since I have no way to test but at least the exception says that the configuration of 'transaction manager' receives the wrong type of parameter.
you can test this way.
<bean id = "transactionManager"
class = "org.hibernate.SessionFactory">
<property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "sessionFactory" />
</bean>
You can try to see if it is that, I leave you as an answer since I can not comment yet.
Pdt: as a personal recommendation I suggest you use JPA since it has a simpler handling of transactions
I could test this on similar setup and configuration except I am using HibernateTemplate. Since you are using Hibernate - you should be generally using HibernateTemplate or even better JPA APIs ( which can be used as Hibernate underlying JPA implementation)
You can also use #Transactional annotation rather than programatically defining your boundaries and exception handling.
My sample configuration looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

And my data saving code looks like this
#Autowired
private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;

public int saveUser(User user) {
int id = (Integer)this.hibernateTemplate.save(user);

}
And I can save data in database ( MySQL in my case but that is irrelevant here)

Dispacter Servelt xml file

I am working on project with Spring mvc and i want to use jpa features as well.
I have an 3 entity classes, their corresponding repository interfaces. I have their autowired objects in common service class. However I am facing issues while creating bean for this service class object which is used in controller.
The 3 model class are User, Appointment and Notification.
The repository interface extends CRUDRepository interface.
Service class :
#Service
public class EHealthService
{
#Autowired
UserRepository uRepo;
#Autowired
AppointmentRepository aRepo;
#Autowired
NotificationRepository nRepo;
public void registerUser(User u)
{
uRepo.save(u);
}
public boolean login(User u)
{
if(uRepo.findByemail(u.getEmail())!=null)
return true;
else
return false;
}
public List<User> getDoctorList()
{
return uRepo.findByisdoctor(true);
}
// some more functions
}
Controller class:
#Controller
public class EHealthController
{
#Autowired
EHealthService eservice;
//Some code
}

It says the class is an interface.
What will be the bean for eservice object and to enable jpa in dispacter servel xml file?
Thank you.
If you are using spring xml based configuration then add below bean's to configuration file :
<bean id="entityManagerFactoryBean" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<!-- This makes /META-INF/persistence.xml is no longer necessary -->
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.howtodoinjava.demo.model" />
<!-- JpaVendorAdapter implementation for Hibernate EntityManager.
Exposes Hibernate's persistence provider and EntityManager extension interface -->
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter" />
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">validate</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</prop>
</props>
</property>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test" />
<property name="username" value="root" />
<property name="password" value="password" />
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactoryBean" />
Register component scanning by adding this binding annotation in xml file :
<context:component-scan base-package="com.mycompany.projectname.demo" />
If your project is spring mvc the add below binding annotation to xl file
<!-- This allow for dispatching requests to Controllers -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
For declarative transaction management add below piece in xml file.
<tx:annotation-driven />
Basically you no need to add service bean in xml configuration file if you are enabled component scanning feature in spring.
Add required dependencies to integrate jpa with spring.

You're managing your transactions manually. That's the task of transaction manager. saveUserData should be like:
public User saveUserData(User user) {
return (User)sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().merge(user);
}
And that's it.
And you'll probably want to annotate your service with #Transactional and not repository.
Your Repository don`t use #component annotation. and you use
<jpa:repositories base-package="your.package.put.repository"></jpa:repositories>
so, you already used
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
First of all all transaction and session should managed by spring container is good practice so please don't manage session at your own, just use the existing session for data base querying. Now, for only your situation, try #Transactional annotation at Controller level and if it will work then you require some modification as per given below.
For web MVC Spring app should #Transactional go on controller or service?
Use #Transactional at Service level and when one of the operations doesnt work as it should(for example, an update operation returns 0 which means it failed) throw new RuntimeException(). If one of the operation fails, all other operations which are part of the transaction will be rolled back.
You are trying to use both container managed transaction and User managed transaction at the same time. Try to use only one at a time.
Either remove #Transactional annotation or remove the transaction statements from your method.

Spring Hibernate session issue

Hi I'm having a problem setting up hibernate on spring. I was able to make it work but it creates a lot of session on the database. From What i have notice it creates session for every bean on my spring.xml. Since I have 6 beans declared I also have 6 session on the database on application start Here is my code

You need to use transactionManager to manage session for you.
Add the following lines of code to your spring.xml
....
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="yourSessionFactory" />
</bean>
....
Then you have to annotate your service impl classes #Transactional("transactionManager") to make transactionManager managing transactions through session
#Transactional("transactionManager")
public class PServiceImpl implements PServiceImpl{
....
Just an advice you can replace XML config for the DI by annotations to make it easy
in spring.xml, remove all your beans declarations (xxservice and xxxdao) and replace them by: <context:component-scan base-package="put here the package where your services and daos are lacated" />
your service must look like this :
#Service
#Transactional("transactionManager")
public class XXXServiceImpl implements XXXService{
#Autowired
private XXXDAO xxxDAO;
...
}
And your dao must look like :
#Repository
public class XXXDAOImpl implements XXXDAO {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
...
}
One more thing, add the tx schema in your file config header, your spring.xml should look like this :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

Difficulty Using Spring in a JAR With Hibernate

I am attempting to split out the Hibernate DAO and Model Object layer from an existing application so they can be used across multiple applications. Unfortunately, I'm not having much success: a NoSuchBeanDefinitionException is thrown when trying to get the SessionFactory from the Application Context.
All of DAO classes extend a class called GenericDaoHibernate2. Each DAO extends this, and passes a Class in the constructor. Pretty standard Generic DAO stuff.
I figured this would be the logical place to set the session factory as well (there are ALOT of DAO classes). So, in the constructor class, I did this:
public GenericDaoHibernate2(final Class<T> persistentClass) {
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("META-INF/applicationContext-dao.xml");
this.sessionFactory = (SessionFactory) ctx.getBean(SessionFactory.class);
log.debug("Value of app context: " + ctx.toString());
log.debug("Value of sessionFactory: " + sessionFactory);
this.persistentClass = persistentClass;
}
Unfortunately, this blew up with the previously mentioned exception:
Caused By: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [org.hibernate.SessionFactory] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.InjectionMetadata.inject(InjectionMetadata.java:87)
Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
I've also attempted this with the app context file just in the classpath, setting the value when declaring the variable, etc, etc.
I'm guessing what is happing is that as part of the Maven build, the jar isn't referencing the libraries on the classpath, but I really don't know...
UPDATE: Stupid, stupid me... forgot to show the application context file.

Another update: Was asked for a sample DAO. The interface is a "standard" generic interface, accepting the generic paramters T and PK, just like the Impl. The following one doesn't have any specific methods other than what it inherits from GenericDaoHibernate2.
#Repository("AreaOfPreferenceDAO")
public class HibernateAreaOfPreferenceDAO extends GenericDaoHibernate2<AreaOfPreference, AreaOfPreferenceCompositeId> implements AreaOfPreferenceDAO {
public HibernateAreaOfPreferenceDAO()
{
super(AreaOfPreference.class);
}
}
In order to wire in the SessionFactory into your custom generic DAO, you can go ahead and simply use #Autowire, as long as the overall Spring context is defining the SessionFactory bean.
To define the bean:
<bean id="sessionFactory" class=
"org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="packagesToScan" value="org.rest" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
...
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class=
"org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="${driverClassName}" />
<property name="url" value="${url}" />
<property name="username" value="restUser" />
<property name="password" value="restmy5ql" />
</bean>
And to wire, simply:
#Autowired
SessionFactory sessionFactory;
The right place to bootstrap the context is not in the constructor of your DAO; if you're working with a web application, you can go with the traditional approach:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/dispatcher-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Since this is not a web application, then the context cannot be bootstrapped in web.xml; however, the bootstrapping still needs to be external - a main class would simply need to create the XmlWebApplicationContext and configure it.
Hope this helps.
The fact that you are creating a new application context in each DAO object may be getting you into trouble.
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("META-INF/applicationContext-dao.xml");
This is kind of circular if you think about it. You call the context, which does a component scan for DAO's, then the DAO instantiates a new context, which does a component scan for DAO's ...
I would just autowire the sessionfactory directly as someone else had mentioned.
#Repository("AreaOfPreferenceDAO")
public class HibernateAreaOfPreferenceDAO extends GenericDaoHibernate2<AreaOfPreference, AreaOfPreferenceCompositeId> implements AreaOfPreferenceDAO {
#Autowired
public HibernateAreaOfPreferenceDAO(SessionFactory sessionFactory)
{
super(sessionFactory, AreaOfPreference.class);
}
}
No component should need to construct a new application context.
Had the same problem, unable to make injection work.
My problem was "sequence". Hibernate xml must be invoked first.
