[英]JPA: How to have one-to-many relation of the same Entity type
There's an Entity Class "A". 有一个实体类“ A”。 Class A might have children of the same type "A".
A类可能具有相同类型“ A”的子级。 Also "A" should hold it's parent if it is a child.
如果“ A”是孩子,则也应保留它的父母。
Is this possible? 这可能吗? If so how should I map the relations in the Entity class?
如果是这样,我应该如何在Entity类中映射关系? ["A" has an id column.]
[“ A”有一个id列。]
Yes, this is possible. 是的,这是可能的。 This is a special case of the standard bidirectional
@ManyToOne
/ @OneToMany
relationship. 这是标准双向
@ManyToOne
/ @OneToMany
关系的@OneToMany
。 It is special because the entity on each end of the relationship is the same. 之所以特别是因为关系两端的实体都是相同的。 The general case is detailed in Section 2.10.2 of the JPA 2.0 spec .
JPA 2.0规范的第2.10.2节详细介绍了一般情况。
Here's a worked example. 这是一个可行的示例。 First, the entity class
A
: 首先,实体类
A
:
@Entity
public class A implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
@ManyToOne
private A parent;
@OneToMany(mappedBy="parent")
private Collection<A> children;
// Getters, Setters, serialVersionUID, etc...
}
Here's a rough main()
method that persists three such entities: 这是一个粗糙的
main()
方法,可保留三个这样的实体:
public static void main(String[] args) {
EntityManager em = ... // from EntityManagerFactory, injection, etc.
em.getTransaction().begin();
A parent = new A();
A son = new A();
A daughter = new A();
son.setParent(parent);
daughter.setParent(parent);
parent.setChildren(Arrays.asList(son, daughter));
em.persist(parent);
em.persist(son);
em.persist(daughter);
em.getTransaction().commit();
}
In this case, all three entity instances must be persisted before transaction commit. 在这种情况下,必须在事务提交之前将所有三个实体实例持久化。 If I fail to persist one of the entities in the graph of parent-child relationships, then an exception is thrown on
commit()
. 如果我无法在父子关系图中持久保留其中一个实体,则会在
commit()
上引发异常。 On Eclipselink, this is a RollbackException
detailing the inconsistency. 在Eclipselink上,这是一个
RollbackException
详细说明了不一致之处。
This behavior is configurable through the cascade
attribute on A
's @OneToMany
and @ManyToOne
annotations. 此行为可以通过
A
的@OneToMany
和@ManyToOne
批注上的cascade
属性来配置。 For instance, if I set cascade=CascadeType.ALL
on both of those annotations, I could safely persist one of the entities and ignore the others. 例如,如果我在这两个注释上都设置了
cascade=CascadeType.ALL
,则可以安全地保留其中一个实体而忽略其他实体。 Say I persisted parent
in my transaction. 假设我在交易中坚持
parent
。 The JPA implementation traverses parent
's children
property because it is marked with CascadeType.ALL
. JPA实现会遍历
parent
的children
属性,因为它已用CascadeType.ALL
标记。 The JPA implementation finds son
and daughter
there. JPA实施在这里找到了
son
和daughter
。 It then persists both children on my behalf, even though I didn't explicitly request it. 然后,即使我没有明确要求,它也代表我保留了两个孩子。
One more note. 还有一张便条。 It is always the programmer's responsibility to update both sides of a bidirectional relationship.
更新双向关系的双方始终是程序员的责任。 In other words, whenever I add a child to some parent, I must update the child's parent property accordingly.
换句话说,每当我将某个孩子添加到某个父母中时,都必须相应地更新该孩子的parent属性。 Updating only one side of a bidirectional relationship is an error under JPA.
在JPA下,仅更新双向关系的一侧是错误。 Always update both sides of the relationship.
始终更新关系的双方。 This is written unambiguously on page 42 of the JPA 2.0 spec:
这是明确写在JPA 2.0规范的第42页上的:
Note that it is the application that bears responsibility for maintaining the consistency of runtime relationships—for example, for insuring that the “one” and the “many” sides of a bidirectional relationship are consistent with one another when the application updates the relationship at runtime.
请注意,应用程序负责维护运行时关系的一致性,例如,当应用程序在运行时更新关系时,确保双向关系的“一侧”和“许多”侧彼此一致。
For me the trick was to use many-to-many relationship. 对我而言,诀窍是使用多对多关系。 Suppose that your entity A is a division that can have sub-divisions.
假设您的实体A是可以具有细分的部门。 Then (skipping irrelevant details):
然后(跳过无关的详细信息):
@Entity
@Table(name = "DIVISION")
@EntityListeners( { HierarchyListener.class })
public class Division implements IHierarchyElement {
private Long id;
@Id
@Column(name = "DIV_ID")
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
...
private Division parent;
private List<Division> subDivisions = new ArrayList<Division>();
...
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "DIV_PARENT_ID")
public Division getParent() {
return parent;
}
@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name = "DIVISION", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "DIV_PARENT_ID") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "DIV_ID") })
public List<Division> getSubDivisions() {
return subDivisions;
}
...
}
Since I had some extensive business logic around hierarchical structure and JPA (based on relational model) is very weak to support it I introduced interface IHierarchyElement
and entity listener HierarchyListener
: 由于我围绕层次结构具有广泛的业务逻辑,而JPA(基于关系模型)对它的支持非常薄弱,因此我介绍了接口
IHierarchyElement
和实体侦听器HierarchyListener
:
public interface IHierarchyElement {
public String getNodeId();
public IHierarchyElement getParent();
public Short getLevel();
public void setLevel(Short level);
public IHierarchyElement getTop();
public void setTop(IHierarchyElement top);
public String getTreePath();
public void setTreePath(String theTreePath);
}
public class HierarchyListener {
@PrePersist
@PreUpdate
public void setHierarchyAttributes(IHierarchyElement entity) {
final IHierarchyElement parent = entity.getParent();
// set level
if (parent == null) {
entity.setLevel((short) 0);
} else {
if (parent.getLevel() == null) {
throw new PersistenceException("Parent entity must have level defined");
}
if (parent.getLevel() == Short.MAX_VALUE) {
throw new PersistenceException("Maximum number of hierarchy levels reached - please restrict use of parent/level relationship for "
+ entity.getClass());
}
entity.setLevel(Short.valueOf((short) (parent.getLevel().intValue() + 1)));
}
// set top
if (parent == null) {
entity.setTop(entity);
} else {
if (parent.getTop() == null) {
throw new PersistenceException("Parent entity must have top defined");
}
entity.setTop(parent.getTop());
}
// set tree path
try {
if (parent != null) {
String parentTreePath = StringUtils.isNotBlank(parent.getTreePath()) ? parent.getTreePath() : "";
entity.setTreePath(parentTreePath + parent.getNodeId() + ".");
} else {
entity.setTreePath(null);
}
} catch (UnsupportedOperationException uoe) {
LOGGER.warn(uoe);
}
}
}
