I'm working on a Spring application with Hibernate. I'd like to save the data so that it persists even when starting and stopping the server. When attempting to save data to an SQL database, I run into a ton of exceptions so I stripped everything back and put together a simple, hello world style example by attempting to save an instance of a Person to the SQL database.
I've been through every thread I can find but they're all relating to relationships - this is just a single entity with no relationships. Any advice greatly appreciated!
Here's my attempt at saving an entry:
Person person = new Person("Some Person");
personRepository.save(person);
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(person);
session.getTransaction().commit();
Exception:
Caused by: org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccessException:
Error accessing field [private java.lang.String com.wdw.core.Person.name] by reflection for persistent property [com.wdw.core.Person#name] : com.wdw.core.Person@4a232870
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set java.lang.String field com.wdw.core.Person.name to com.wdw.core.Person
Model:
@Entity
public class Person {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long personId;
private String name;
public Person() {
}
public Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
// getters and setters
}
Repository:
public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {}
hibernate.cfg.xml:
<?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">

<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>

<property name="use_sql_comments">true</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
<mapping class="com.wdw.core.Person"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
EDIT: When I create an empty database with no tables and run the program, it creates the table Person with no entries:
mysql> use test_1
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+---------------------------+
| Tables_in_test_1
+---------------------------+
| Person |
+---------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from Person;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
@Entity
@Table(name="Person") public class Person {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name="person_id")
private long personId;
@Column(name="name")
private String name;
public Person() {
}
public Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
// getters and setters
}
You need to add some more annotations to this entity as mentioned in the above code. 1) @Column So that hibernate understands which column is mapped to which property in the entity ( This is not required if the column names and property names are same ) . The table column name needs to be mentioned as mentioned above.
All I wanted to do here was persist the data between starting and stopping the server, and be able to access the data via an SQL database. I solved the issue without using @Transactional
or the Session
interface, by just specifying the database you want Hibernate to use. Found here - thank you to @Master Slave.
Steps:
application.properties
file to configure Spring to use that database spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto =
to create
. The next time, set it to update
. This will persist that data across sessions. application.properties: - use this for the first run only:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:8889/my_db
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
After bootRun
, my_db
will be populated with data. Stop your Spring server and restart it, but this time with spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
in your application.properties
.
Hope this helps somebody else who runs into similar issues.
