I would like to implement inheritance in Hibernate.
I created ObjectClass object:
@Entity
@Table(name = "object")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class ObjectClass {
private id;
}
and CodeTable object that inhertance Object class:
@Entity
@ForeignKey(name = "id")
@Table(name = "code_table")
public class CodeTable extends ObjectClass{
private String description;
}
in the database
object table is:
CREATE TABLE `object` (
`id` bigint(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
)
code_table table is:
-
CREATE TABLE `code_table` (
`id` bigint(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`description` varchar(45) character set latin1 default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `FK_object` (`id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK_object` FOREIGN KEY (`id`) REFERENCES `object` (`id`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION,
)
I wrote the following code to retreive data from codeTable:
@SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
@Transactional( readOnly = true, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED )
public Collection<CodeTable> findAll() {
Session session = getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
return
session.createCriteria( persistentClass
).setResultTransformer( Criteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY
).list();
}
I gets empty list although there is one record in codetable table.
When I write the following SQL in my database:
SELECT * FROM `code_table`
I get: id= 1, description = company.
What went wrong in my Hibernate definition? How can I retrieve the object?
EDITED : My hibernate.cfg.xml file looks like this:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<mapping class="com.mycompany.model.CodeTable" />
<mapping class="com.mycompany.model.ObjectClass" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Your mappings and table structure are (roughly) correct for a JOINED inheritance strategy and I cannot reproduce your problem.
I use the following mappings (which are basically the one you provided):
@Entity
@Table(name = "object")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class ObjectClass {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
public ObjectClass() { }
public Long getId() { return id; }
public void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; }
}
And
@Entity
@ForeignKey(name = "id")
@Table(name = "code_table")
public class CodeTable extends ObjectClass{
private String description;
public CodeTable() { }
public String getDescription() { return description; }
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "CodeTable [getDescription()=" + getDescription() + ", getId()="
+ getId() + "]";
}
}
The following tables:
create table code_table (
description varchar(255),
id bigint not null,
primary key (id)
)
create table object (
id bigint not null,
primary key (id)
)
alter table code_table
add constraint id
foreign key (id)
references object
And the following parent/child records:
insert into object values (1);
insert into code_table(id, description) values (1, 'foo');
And running your criteria query:
session.createCriteria(CodeTable.class)
.setResultTransformer(Criteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY)
.list();
Returns:
CodeTable [getDescription()=foo, getId()=1]
Everything works as expected.
How does your mapping looks like ?
Have you read this section in the Hibernate doc ? Inheritance mapping in Hibernate
As you can read in the link I provided above, your mapping is not correct. You have to let Hibernate know that the code_table class inherits from the object class, and you 'll have to let Hibernate know how this link exists in the database.
