如何从Java Spring中的Hibernate双向OneToMany ManyToOne中检索数据

Question

It really sounds like a easy question but I really cannot find anything useful.

My question is how can I get DB entries using criteria(or something else) from a bidirectional ManytoOne association?

So let's say that we have 2 classes.

@Entity
@Table(name="tCategory")
public class Category {

    @Id
    @Column(table="tCategory")
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int category_id;

    @OneToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE, CascadeType.REFRESH}, mappedBy="category")
    private Set<SubCategory> subcategory;

    ..............
    public Set<SubCategory> getSubcategory() {
        return subcategory;
    }
    public void setSubcategory(Set<SubCategory> subcategory) {
        this.subcategory = subcategory;
    }

    public int getCategory_id() {
        return category_id;
    }
    public void setCategory_id(int category_id) {
        this.category_id = category_id;
    }
    ..............
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Category [category_id=" + category_id + ", subcategory=" + subcategory + "]";
    }
}


@Entity
@Table(name="tSubCategory")
public class SubCategory {

    @Id
    @Column(table="tSubCategory")
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int subcategory_id;

    @ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE, CascadeType.REFRESH})
    @JoinColumn(name="category_id")
    private Category category;

    public Category getCategory() {
        return category;
    }

    ........

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

    public int getSubcategory_id() {
        return subcategory_id;
    }
    public void setSubcategory_id(int subcategory_id) {
        this.subcategory_id = subcategory_id;
    }

    ........
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Category [category_id=" + category_id + ", subcategory=" + subcategory + "]";
    }
}

As we can see we have for 1 category many subcategories.

The question is how can I get all the subcategories with category_id = 1 ?

schema description

What I am trying to do is the following:

public List<SubCategory> getSubCategoriesById(int category_id) {
        Session session = null;
        Transaction tx = null;
        try{
            session = this.sessionFactory.openSession();
            tx = session.beginTransaction();
            List<SubCategory> subcategories;
            Criterion cr = Restrictions.eq("category.category_id",category_id);
            subcategories = session.createCriteria(SubCategory.class).add(cr).list();
            tx.commit();
            return subcategories;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            tx.rollback();
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
        return null;
    }

and then on my controller

@RequestMapping("/loadSubCategories")
    public @ResponseBody List<SubCategory> loadSubCategories(@RequestParam int id) {

        List<SubCategory> subcategories = hierarchyDAO.getSubCategoriesById(id);
        System.out.println(subcategories.get(0));
        return subcategories;
    }

I am getting the following error

2017-01-10 23:38:33 DEBUG DispatcherServlet:984 - Could not complete request
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: contacts.resources.Category.subcategory, could not initialize proxy - no Session
    at org.hibernate.collection.internal.AbstractPersistentCollection.throwLazyInitializationException(AbstractPersistentCollection.java:575)

I am sure that we are retrieving the category column values seeing the query that hibernate is logging.

Any ideas?

I am adding some info here because I think that the we are getting correctly the info from the DB but there is something wrong with the lazy loading.

I changed getSubCategoriesById in this way:

    @Override
        public List<SubCategory> getSubCategoriesById(int category_id) {
            Session session = this.sessionFactory.openSession();
            Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();

            Criterion cr = Restrictions.eq("category.category_id",category_id);
            List<SubCategory> subcategories = session.createCriteria(SubCategory.class).add(cr).list();
            tx.commit();
            session.close();

            return subcategories;
        }

and I am tried to log the results on controller.

@RequestMapping(value="/loadSubCategories", produces = "application/json")
    public @ResponseBody List<SubCategory> loadSubCategories(@RequestParam int id) {
        System.out.println("->apo get" + id);

        List<SubCategory> subcategories = hierarchyDAO.getSubCategoriesById(id);
        System.out.println("size: " + subcategories.size());

        int i = 0;
        while (i < subcategories.size()) {
            System.out.println("category name " + subcategories.get(i).getCategory().getName());
            System.out.println("subcategory name " + subcategories.get(i).getName());
            System.out.println("subcategory details " + subcategories.get(i).getDetails());
            i++;
        }

        return subcategories;
    }

here is the logging:

The strange part here is that I am able to log the info but there is something missing on the JSON mapping. It seems like it tries to do :

subcategories.get(0).getCategory().getSubcategory().get(0).getName();

Answer 1

You could easily perform this using Hibernate Query Language using the following query.

Query query = session.createQuery("from Category c inner join fetch c.subCategory where c.category_id := id");

query.setParamter("id", yourId);

This will fetch a category along with all associated sub categories
