Without it, a try of entity manager factory won't know where are placed entities: The entry must be added after persistence-unit tag and can look like: file:///home/bartosz/tests/entity/classes classes directory but you can add a JAR path as well. Everything is there ? No, the most important entry miss: point to entity Java classes. Next to it, we retreive connection data () and information about Hibernate's dialect. It'll be used to create entity manager factory. You can find the name of persistence-unit. This configuration file is as simple as possible. We'll start by configure persistence unit: Our example will be written as unit tests. With this short comparison, we can approach samples part. One of them is a unique entity representing database row. Some of common rules are applied in the both sides. SessionFactory returns Session instances and in JPA, it's entity manager factory which produces entity manager instances. In Hibernate all objects are handled by Session.

Transactions: represented by implementations of, they ensure the atomic character of operations made by entity manager.Īfter reading previous list, we can simply find some of similarities between Hibernate and JPA specifications.

A product's row with id (primary key) 4 can't be represented by two different objects in persistence context. For example, suppose that we have an table "products" in the database. each persistent row can be represented exactly by one entity in this context. The main role of this context is to control the number of instances for every unique entity. So, we can tell that persistence context is a collection of all entities managed by entity manager. Entity manager is associated to this context and through this association, it can manage to the entities.

Persistence context: regroups all available entities.

Normally, they are defined under tag from persistence.xml file.

Persistence units: it's a configuration used to define all entities managed by entity manager.

Represented by implementations of, it can also access to "the second level" cache that must implement.

Entity manager factory: as Hibernate's SessionFactory, entity manager factory is used to create entity manager instances.

It's represented by the implementations of interface. Entity manager is similar to Hibernate's Session instances. In additionally, it can also control lock or flushing modes.

It manages entities life cycle by finding them from the database or pushing the modifications into database. Entities, exactly as database models, can be associated between them thanks to another annotations We'll cover it more in detail in one of next articles. Both can be marked as it through other annotations, as for example: for persistent and for non-persistent fields.

An entity can be distinguished from normal Java object thanks to annotation In additionally, it can't be final and can contain persistent and non-persistent fields. they represent data from persistence storage (for example database's table).

Entities: are persistence domain object, i.e.

We can find there as well interfaces to define implementation behavior as annotations to provide a metadata layer used for map POJO object to theirs persistance representations.įive main pillars compose JPA specification: It means that JPA provides a set of common programming rules for all implementations. JPA is a standardization for all mechanisms handling relational data in Java application.

The use cases will include all traditional CRUD actions: creation, read, update and delete. After that, we'll pass to use cases of Hibernate's JPA. In the first part we'll discover what is JPA and how it's composed. This article will cover the basics of JPA implementation in Hibernate.
