How to create a Hibernate mapping file for a oneToMany relationship with composite primary and foreign key as well?

Question

The database table are:

Create table CatalogRequirements (
    semester varchar(20) NOT NULL,
    year int NOT NULL,
    program varchar(20) not null,
    GPA decimal(5 , 2 ) NOT NULL,
    ILETS decimal(5 , 2 ),
    TOFEL int,
    Backlogs int,
    Pre_requisite1 varchar(20),
    Pre_requisite2 varchar(20),
    compsmingpa decimal(5,2) not null,
    compsminHours int not null,
    Primary key (semester , year,program)
);
    Create table Catalog_Course (
    courseNum int NOT NULL,
    semester varchar(20) not null,
    year int not  null,
    program varchar(20) not null,
    Hours int NOT NULL,
    MIN_GPA decimal(3 , 2 ) NOT NULL,primary key(coursenum,semester,year,program),
    FOREIGN KEY (coursenum)
        references nwcourse (coursenum),
    FOREIGN KEY (semester,year,program)
        references CatalogRequirements (semester,year,program)
);

The managedbean files are

 </session-factory>
 </hibernate-configuration>

Finally Dao file to save records to the database

public class CreateCatalogDao {

private CatalogCourse cc;
public void createCatalog(CatalogRequirements cust) {
    Transaction trns = null;
    Session session = HibernateUtil.createSessionFactory().openSession();
    try {
        trns = session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(cust);            
        trns.commit();

    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        if (trns != null) {
            trns.rollback();
        }
    } finally {
        session.flush();
        session.close();
    }
}
}

The records are storing into the CatalogRequirements table properly but not in the Catalog_Course . I guess the problem is with hbm files. And also can you explain me how I can retrieve values from catalog_Course table.

Answer 1

To start: Neither of your Entity classes should contain references to their corresponding Id classes (ie CatalogRequirements should not reference CatalogRequirementsId and CatalogCourse should not reference CatalogCourseId ). Never mind that those references should not be annotated as @Id s. :-)

Then you need to use a derived identity. The CatalogCourse classes should look like this:

public class CatalogCourseId implements Serializable {
    private CatalogRequirementsId catalogRequirements;
    private String CourseNo;
    ...
}

@Entity
@IdClass(CatalogCourseId.class)
@Table(name="Catalog_Course")
public class CatalogCourse {
    @Id
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumns({
        @JoinColumn(name="semester", referencedColumnName="semester"),
        @JoinColumn(name="year", referencedColumnName="year"),
        @JoinColumn(name="program", referencedColumnName="program")
    })
    private CatalogRequirements catalogRequirements;

    @Id
    @Column(name="courseNum")
    private String courseNo;

    ...
}

Note the attribute name in the IdClass matches the attribute name in the Entity (ie catalogRequirements ), but the attributes' types are different. In the IdClass the attribute type must match the referenced Entity 's IdClass (ie CatalogRequirementsId ).

Derived identities are discussed in the JPA 2.1 spec, section 2.4.1.
