HI All,
hibernate dao support provides a in built method getHibernateTemplate.This is only the advantage of using hibernate dao support other than hibernate template.Please suggest.
When we need to go for a hibernate template and hibernate dao support.
Regards,
sameer.
HibernateDaoSupport gives you easy access to a HibernateTemplate. But the usage of both isn't recommended anymore since about 2007 so simply use a plain SessionFactory...
I am agree with Marten
More information about this here
So should you still use Spring's HibernateTemplate and/or JpaTemplate??
That post is from 2007 , is it still relevant ? Things may have change since then ?!Quote:

why isn't it recommended ?Code:private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;

this.hibernateTemplate = new HibernateTemplate(sessionFactory);
}
@Override
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public void saveUser(User user) {
hibernateTemplate.saveOrUpdate(user);
}
@Override
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public User getUser(String email) {
return (User) hibernateTemplate.find("from User where email =" + "'" + email + "'").get(0);
}
Hello
Yes, relevant until now, why?. Due the followQuote:

The point is with HibernateTemplate makes Spring and Hibernate more coupled about dependencies about Java code (API level).
I used to work years ago with this template and really does and done very well its job, but ...
Therefore the actual solution (since 2007) practically let you work in a 100% with pure Hibernate API breaking this level about coupling between these frameworks, some differences about synthax between pure Hibernate and Spring's HibernateTemplate exitsQuote:
why isn't it recommended ?
With the actual solution is only necessary add the Spring's annotation called @Repository to your DAO class and some xml configuration like, scanning packages and to recognize this annotation and add an Exception Translator to let Spring Translate the own Hibernate's type Exceptions to the Spring DataAccessException
HTH
Hi ,
I still feel something is missing , from easy work , I need to write a lot more .
Where I can learn how to implements right pure Hibernate API , Resource management , Transaction management & and Error handling ?
I'm planning build a site with at least x000 ( and high growing potential) users online which will using this Hibernate API , using MySql . How to handle massive connections / SessionFactory usages?
When implements pure Hibernate API using Spring , where Spring comes into the picture , I mean what's Spring's job here? Connection closed? Threads?
(Sorry if it's basic Hibernate knowledge :) )
Thanks and Regards ,
Zakos
You don't need to write more (not sure where you get that idea). How to implement plain hibernate api based dao's is explained in the spring reference guide.
The HibernateTemplate isn't needed anymore since hibernate 3.0.1, since that release it became easier to plugin nicely to hibernate, before that spring needed some trickery, proxing and hackery to manage transactions, thread bound sessions and exception translation. Now with the newer versions of hibernate that isn't needed anymore, you still get all the nice stuff exception translation, session management etc. but without using any spring specific classes. Which imho is really nice it makes the use of spring even less obtrusive.
The code you posted would be more like
If fixed your getUser method because that was flawed. NEVER NEVER NEVER (did I make myself clear) use string contact to include parameters into your query ALWAYS use placeholders, unless you want to be vulnerable to sql injection attacks! ALso you didn't check for any result which could potentially lead to exceptions.Code:private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
@Autowired
public void setSessionFactory(final SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}
@Override
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public void saveUser(final User user) {
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(user);
}
@Override
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public User getUser(final String email) {
final String query = "from User where email=:email";
Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(query);
query.setParameter("email", email);
List<User> results = query.list();
if (!results.isEmpty()) {
return results.get(0);
}
return null;
}
1. Clear Sir.
2. Does the spring reference guide is this ? 13.3 Hiberante ? Didn't find Hibernate annotation example there.
I use
3. Is the responsibility table here , is still apply on pure Hibernate API ?Code:<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory">
<ref bean="mySessionFactory" />
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="mySessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource" />
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.domain" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto"></prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Thanks , again.
You should use 2 to configure your sessionfactory that doesn't change you only don't use HibernateTemplate anymore... The JDBC chapter has nothing to do with hibernate so don't see your question...But spring still manages your resources (connection, session, transaction) that doesn't change... As I tried to explain in the previous posts the only thing that changes is that you don't use HibernateTemplate anymore everything else remains the same!
That's what I wanted to ask through the JDBC table example, well got it . I'll try to do the changes you suggests. ( that's where the idea for "more code" that I meant earlier , if it wasn't like that )Quote:
