Creating a hibernate persistent class

As discussed in the Preface, the developer will be dealing with objects at every step of development. Also, when we use hibernate, we don't need to work on a core SQL query. Here, we will create a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) in Java, which represents a table in the database.

Getting ready

By POJO, we mean that we will create a Java class that satisfies the following requirements:

It needs to have a default constructor that is persistent.
It should contain the id attribute. ID is used to identify the object and is mapped with the primary column of a table.
All attributes should have Getter and Setter methods, such as getXXX and setXXX where xxx is a field name.

How to do it...

We will now create a persistent class and name it Employee. The following table shows a representation of the Employee class:

Create the Employee.java class and place the following code in the class:

public class Employee{
  private long id;
  private String firstName;
  private double salary;
  // other fields

  // default constructor
  public Employee() {
  }

  public long getId() {
       return id;
  }

  public void setId(long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
  }

  public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
  }

  public double getSalary() {
    return salary;
  }

  public void setSalary(double salary) {
    this.salary = salary;
  }
  
  //
  // Getter and setter for other fields...
  //

}

Now the preceding class satisfies all the requirements listed before to be a persistent class.

The preceding class now contains the following:

The default Employee() constructor
The id attribute, which is the primary column of the table and can be used to uniquely identify an entry
The individual getters and setters in all the attributes (id, firstName, and salary)

Now, let's see how to design a POJO for tables having references between the Department and Employee tables:

The following code is the definition for the Department class in Department.java:

public class Department{
  private long id;
  private String deptName;

  //default constructor
  public void Department(){
  }

  //getters and setters
  public long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public String getDeptName() {
    return deptName;
  }

  public void setDeptName(String deptName) {
    this.deptName = deptName;
  }

}

The following code is the definition for the Employee class in Employee.java:

public class Employee{
  private long id;
  private String firstName;
  private double salary;
 private Department department; // reference to Department.

  //default constructor
  public void Employee(){
  }

  //getters and setters
  public long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
  }

  public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
  }

  public double getSalary() {
    return salary;
  }

  public void setSalary(double salary) {
    this.salary = salary;
  }

  public Department getDepartment(){
    return department;
  }

  public setDepartment(Department department){
    this.department = department;
  }
  
}
