Category Table

Product Table

Entities Class

Create two entities classes – Category.java and Product.java, to represent the above tables

Category.java

package entities;

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import static javax.persistence.GenerationType.IDENTITY;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "category")
public class Category implements java.io.Serializable {

	private Integer id;
	private String name;
	private Set<Product> products = new HashSet<Product>(0);

	public Category() {
	}

	public Category(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public Category(String name, Set<Product> products) {
		this.name = name;
		this.products = products;
	}

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
	public Integer getId() {
		return this.id;
	}

	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	@Column(name = "name", nullable = false, length = 250)
	public String getName() {
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "category")
	public Set<Product> getProducts() {
		return this.products;
	}

	public void setProducts(Set<Product> products) {
		this.products = products;
	}

}

Product.java

package entities;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import static javax.persistence.GenerationType.IDENTITY;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "product")
public class Product implements java.io.Serializable {

	private Integer id;
	private String name;
	private BigDecimal price;
	private int quantity;
	private String description;
	private String photo;
	private boolean featured;
	private Category category;

	public Product() {
	}

	public Product(Integer id, String name, BigDecimal price) {
		super();
		this.id = id;
		this.name = name;
		this.price = price;
	}

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
	public Integer getId() {
		return this.id;
	}

	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	@Column(name = "name", nullable = false, length = 250)
	public String getName() {
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	@Column(name = "price", nullable = false, precision = 10, scale = 1)
	public BigDecimal getPrice() {
		return this.price;
	}

	public void setPrice(BigDecimal price) {
		this.price = price;
	}

	@Column(name = "quantity", nullable = false)
	public int getQuantity() {
		return this.quantity;
	}

	public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
		this.quantity = quantity;
	}

	@Column(name = "description", nullable = false, length = 65535)
	public String getDescription() {
		return this.description;
	}

	public void setDescription(String description) {
		this.description = description;
	}

	@Column(name = "photo", nullable = false, length = 250)
	public String getPhoto() {
		return this.photo;
	}

	public void setPhoto(String photo) {
		this.photo = photo;
	}

	@Column(name = "featured", nullable = false)
	public boolean isFeatured() {
		return this.featured;
	}

	public void setFeatured(boolean featured) {
		this.featured = featured;
	}

	@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
	@JoinColumn(name = "categoryid", nullable = false)
	public Category getCategory() {
		return category;
	}

	public void setCategory(Category category) {
		this.category = category;
	}

}

Hibernate Configuration File

Puts Category.java and Product.java in your Hibernate configuration file, and also MySQL connection details.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
	<session-factory>
		<property name="hibernate.enable_lazy_load_no_trans">true</property>
		<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
		<property name="hibernate.connection.password">123456</property>
		<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernate5</property>
		<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>

		<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
		<mapping class="entities.Product" />
		<mapping class="entities.Category" />
	</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Create HibernateUtil class

The HibernateUtil class helps in creating the SessionFactory from the Hibernate configuration file. The SessionFactory is threadsafe, so it is not necessary to obtain one for each thread.

package hibernate_query_language;

import org.hibernate.*;
import org.hibernate.boot.*;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.*;

public class HibernateUtil {

	private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

	static {
		try {
			StandardServiceRegistry standardRegistry = new
					StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
					.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml")
					.build();
			Metadata metaData = new MetadataSources(
					standardRegistry)
					.getMetadataBuilder()
					.build();
			sessionFactory = metaData.getSessionFactoryBuilder().build();
		} catch (Throwable th) {
			throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(th);
		}
	}

	public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
		return sessionFactory;

	}
}

Create ProductModel class

The ProductModel class contains methods to interact with the database.

package hibernate_query_language;

import java.util.*;
import org.hibernate.*;
import entities.*;

public class ProductModel {

	private SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();

	public List<Product> startsWith(String keyword) {
		List<Product> products = null;
		Session session = null;
		Transaction transaction = null;
		try {
			session = sessionFactory.openSession();
			transaction = session.beginTransaction();
			org.hibernate.query.Query query = session
					.createQuery("select p from Product p where p.name like :keyword");
			query.setParameter("keyword", keyword + "%");
			products = query.getResultList();
			transaction.commit();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			products = null;
			if (transaction != null) {
				transaction.rollback();
			}
		} finally {
			session.close();
		}
		return products;
	}

	public List<Product> endsWith(String keyword) {
		List<Product> products = null;
		Session session = null;
		Transaction transaction = null;
		try {
			session = sessionFactory.openSession();
			transaction = session.beginTransaction();
			org.hibernate.query.Query query = session
					.createQuery("select p from Product p where p.name like :keyword");
			query.setParameter("keyword", "%" + keyword);
			products = query.getResultList();
			transaction.commit();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			products = null;
			if (transaction != null) {
				transaction.rollback();
			}
		} finally {
			session.close();
		}
		return products;
	}

	public List<Product> contains(String keyword) {
		List<Product> products = null;
		Session session = null;
		Transaction transaction = null;
		try {
			session = sessionFactory.openSession();
			transaction = session.beginTransaction();
			org.hibernate.query.Query query = session
					.createQuery("select p from Product p where p.name like :keyword");
			query.setParameter("keyword", "%" + keyword + "%");
			products = query.getResultList();
			transaction.commit();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			products = null;
			if (transaction != null) {
				transaction.rollback();
			}
		} finally {
			session.close();
		}
		return products;
	}

}

Run It

package hibernate_query_language;

import java.util.List;
import entities.Product;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		ProductModel productModel = new ProductModel();

		System.out.println("Start with mob string");
		System.out.println("==========================");
		List<Product> result1 = productModel.startsWith("mob");
		for(Product product : result1) {
			System.out.println("Id: " + product.getId());
			System.out.println("Name: " + product.getName());
			System.out.println("Price: " + product.getPrice());
			System.out.println("----------------------");
		}

		System.out.println("Ends with top 1 string");
		System.out.println("==========================");
		List<Product> result2 = productModel.endsWith("top 1");
		for(Product product : result2) {
			System.out.println("Id: " + product.getId());
			System.out.println("Name: " + product.getName());
			System.out.println("Price: " + product.getPrice());
			System.out.println("----------------------");
		}

		System.out.println("Contains bi string");
		System.out.println("==========================");
		List<Product> result3 = productModel.contains("bi");
		for(Product product : result3) {
			System.out.println("Id: " + product.getId());
			System.out.println("Name: " + product.getName());
			System.out.println("Price: " + product.getPrice());
			System.out.println("----------------------");
		}

	}

}
