java动态建表,在运行时动态创建表和Java类

I have a requirement in my application. My tables wont be defined beforehand.For Example,if the user creates a form by name Student,and adds its attributes like name,roll no,subject,class etc.. then on runtime,there should be a table created by name student with columns name,roll no,subject,class and also its related class and its hibernate mapping file. Is there any way of doing so?

Thanks in advance,

Hibernate supports dynamic models, that is, entities that are defined at run-time, but you have to write out a mapping file. You should note a couple things about dynamic models:

You may be restricted in how you define these at run-time (viz. you will have to use the Session directly instead of using a helper method from HibernateTemplate or something like that).

Dynamic models are supported using Maps as the container for the fields of an entity, so you will lose typing and a POJO-style API at run-time (without doing something beyond the baked-in dynamic model support).

All of that said, you didn't mention whether it was a requirement that the dynamically defined tables be persistent across application sessions. That could complicate things, potentially.
