5.6.4 映射集合属性:Set集合属性

我们先将test库里的表删除：

然后新建一个web工程，并编写代码：

Person.java :

public class Person {
	
	private int id;
	private String name;
	private int age;
	private Set<String> schools=new HashSet<String>();
	
	public int getId() {
		return id;
	}
	public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public Set<String> getSchools() {
		return schools;
	}
	public void setSchools(Set<String> schools) {
		this.schools = schools;
	}
	
}

Person.hbm.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC 
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
    
<hibernate-mapping package="db.domain">
    <class name="Person" table="persons">
    
        <id name="id" type="integer">
            <generator class="native"></generator>
        </id>
        <property name="name" type="string">
            <column name="name"></column>
        </property>
        <property name="age" type="integer">
            <column name="age"></column>
        </property>
        <set name="schools" table="schools">
            <key column="person_id" not-null="true"/>
            <element type="string" column="school_name" not-null="true"/>
        </set>
        
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Set集合属性的映射与List有点不同，因为Set是无序的，不可重复的集合，因此 <set.../>元素无须使用<list-index.../>子元素来映射集合元素的索引列。<element.../>元素有个not-null属性，该属性默认为false，即该列默认可以为空。

Test.java :

public class Test {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Person p1=new Person();
		p1.setName("tom");
		p1.setAge(20);
		Set<String> schools1=new HashSet<String>();
		schools1.add("小学");
		schools1.add("初中");
		p1.setSchools(schools1);
		
		Person p2=new Person();
		p2.setName("jack");
		p2.setAge(23);
		Set<String> schools2=new HashSet<String>();
		schools2.add("小学");
		schools2.add("初中");
		schools2.add("高中");
		p2.setSchools(schools2);
		
		Session session=HibernateSessionFactory.getSession();
		Transaction txt=session.beginTransaction();
		session.save(p1);
		session.save(p2);
		txt.commit();
		HibernateSessionFactory.closeSession();
	}

}

运行Test.java，查看数据库：

对比List和Set两种集合属性：List集合的元素有顺序，而Set集合的元素没有顺序。当集合属性在另外的表中存储时，List集合属性可以用关联持久化类的外键；列和集合元素索引列作为联合主键；但Set集合没有索引列，则以关联持久化类的外键和元素列作为联合主键，前提是元素列不能为空。
