In this article, we show you how to use Hibernate / JBoss Tools to generate Hibernate mapping files (hbm) and annotation code from database automatically.
Tools in this article
- Eclipse v3.6 (Helios)
- JBoss / Hibernate Tools v3.2
- Oracle 11g
- JDK 1.6
Before proceed, please Install Hibernate / JBoss Tools in Eclipse IDE.
1. Hibernate Perspective
Open your “Hibernate Perspective“. In Eclipse IDE, select “Windows” >> “Open Perspective” >> “Others…” , choose “Hibernate“.
2. New Hibernate Configuration
In Hibernate Perspective, right click and select “Add Configuration…”
In “Edit Configuration” dialog box,
- In “Project” box, click on the “Browse..” button to select your project.
- In “Database Connection” box, click “New..” button to create your database settings.
- In “Configuration File” box, click “Setup” button to create a new or use existing “Hibernate configuration file”,
hibernate.cfg.xml
.
See your list of your tables in “Hibernate Perspective“.
Sample of “hibernate.cfg.xml
“, connect to Oracle 11g database.
<?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">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:MKYONG</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">mkyong</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.default_schema">MKYONG</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
3. Hibernate Code Generation
Now, you are ready to generate the Hibernate mapping files and annotation codes.
– In “Hibernate Perspective”, click “Hibernate code generation” icon (see below figure) and select “Hibernate Code Generation Configuration”
– Create a new configuration, select your “console configuration” (configured in step 2), puts your “Output directory” and checked option “Reverse engineer from JDBC Connection“.
– In “Exporter” tab, select what you want to generate, Model , mapping file (hbm) , DAO, annotation code and etc.
See result
The generated Hibernate mapping file and annotations code are very clean, standard and easy to modify. Try explore more features.
