    public void setProfile_pic(Blob profile_pic) {
        this.profile_pic = profile_pic;
    }

    public String getLast_login() {

    public Set<Comments> getList() {
        return list;
    }

    public void setList(Set<Comments> list) {
        this.list = list;
    }

}

package com.app.Tester;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import com.app.pojo.Comments;

public class Tester {

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        UserInfo user = new UserInfo();

        user.setUsername("BugTest");
        user.setPassword("baba");

        Comments comm = new Comments();

        comm.setCommentcontent("hello this");


        SessionFactory factory = utils.HibernateUtils.getFactory();


        Session session = factory.openSession();

        Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();

        session.save(user); 

        session.save(comm);

        tx.commit();
    session.close();
    }
}

in database comments table userid is not inserted .....

please point out mistake and give solution ... :)

Answer 1

It has to do with "transitive persistence". Once you have persisted your main entity "user" you can persiste the dependent entity "comm" just conecting with his parent. How? You don't even have to explicitely save the comments entity. Just save "user" then call user.getList().add (comm) and commit the transaction. You can do, but don't need to, call comm.save(). Transitive persistence does it for you. Another way to save "comm" is call comm.setUser (user) before session.save(comm); Offtopic: be nice to the variable names: comments set in UserInfo entity may be named "comments" instead of "list".
