New to EJB3.0 - Object relational mapping

Hi I am new to EJB 3.0...
I just wanted to ask the following questions:
1) Do you have to create new entity for each datbase table manually, or is there a tool?
2) I see you can specify relationships e.g. @many-to-many does this also have to be done manually.

I dont know .. but netbeans can do that .. either create an entity class that creates a table or create an entity class from a table.
2) I see you can specify relationships e.g. @many-to-many does this also have to be done manually.from my experience .. you have to do it like that i.e 'manually'

  • ANN: Eclipse EJB 3.0 Object-Relational Mapping Project Requirements posted

    A document that presents an intitial feature and use case list for the early milestones of the Eclipse EJB 3.0 Object/Relational Mapping project has been posted to the project newsgroup (news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.technology.ejb-orm). It also demonstrates a set of user interface components for editing EJB 3.0 Entities. The document covers the basics and is designed to illustrate the concept. It is in no way comprehensive. For example, it doesn't thoroughly cover the editing of ORM xml descriptors although this is an important requirement for the project. ORM xml support will be detailed in coming revisions, and slated for future milestones.
    The purpose of this document is to invite comment on the approach. If you are interested in EJB 3.0 Entity support in Eclipse please give the doc a look over and post your feedback to the EJB 3.0 Object-Relational Mapping Project newsgroup.

    Project Overview:
    The goal of this project is to add comprehensive support to the Eclipse Project for the definition and editing of Object-Relational (O/R) mappings for EJB 3.0 Entity Beans. EJB 3.0 O/R mapping support will focus on minimizing the complexity of mapping by providing creation and automated initial mapping wizards, and programming assistance such as dynamic problem identification. The implementation will be extensible so third party vendors can add to its functionality.

  • Need help in Object-Relational Mapping

    I'm writing a simple two-tiered business application with Swing application on the client side and a DBMS on the server side. To make my client code more maintainable, I decided to create Business Objects instead of having my client accessing the database directly via SQL. For simplicity, I'm not using any features from the J2EE framework, and the Business Objects will be hosted on the client side, with one-to-one mapping to tables in the database. Since this is my first attempt in Object-Relational Mapping, I'm faced with the following problems:
    1. What kind of methods are appropriate for business objects? For example, if I have a Machine and Employee entity. A Machine is owned by an employee, and this is represented in the DB by storing the employee ID (not the name) as a foreign key in the Machine table. Let's say in the user interface I have a table that needs to display the list of Machines, but instead of displaying the owner employee's ID, I want to display the owner employee's name by doing a join select. Should the findMachines() method always perform a join select to get owner's name and store it in the Machine object which is returned, or should findMachines() simply return the owner's ID so the UI will need to make another SQL call (through the Employee object) to get the employee's name? The latter is more elegant, but would it be horribly inefficient if there are lots of machines to be displayed (and for each machine we make a separate select call to get the owner's name).

    Business objects should be separate from how they're persisted.
    When you say object-relational mapping, do you mean a tool like Hibernate? Or are you writing your own persistence layer using JDBC and SQL?
    I'd recommend that you read about the Data Access Object pattern and keep the persistence code out of the business objects themselves:

  • Need clarification - Object Relational Mapping

    Folks
    I have searched internet , but I could find a simple answer .
    I am preparing for my Interview. I just want to reply for this question in a very simple answer
    if the employer asked me what is Object Relational Mapping and Explain Cascade and the possible values .
    The above question in the context of " Hibernate " .
    I am not sure if this is the correct forum category I am asking , please guide me .
    Thanks
    Matt

    The best simple answer is to say "I have no idea about those terms but I am eager to learn".
    There is no simple answer that will give the impression you know about such stuff when you
    don't, that will not expose you immediately to great embarrassment if they pose the simplest
    followup question.

  • NetWeaver Object/Relational Mapping tool

    I've read the nice article <i>Using Hibernate on SAP WAS</i> by Peter Mayringer:

  • Which object-relational mapping tool is the best for Oracle Coherence?

    Which object-relational mapping tool is the best for Oracle Coherence?
    My application is read-and-write-intensive. Which tool is most suitable for this application?
    TopLink essentials, TopLink, Eclipse or Hibernate?
    Thank you

    I would pick Hibernate mainly because of its popularity and wide knowledge base.
    Coherence has provided some documentation for the integration.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14526_01/coh.350/e14537/usehibernateascoh.htm#CEGFEFJH
    If you have the schema in database, myEclipse can provide you hibernate bindings by reverse engineering.

  • Enhydra  DODS - Open Source Object/Relational Mapping Tool from Enhydra

    Hi all,
    I just want to inform you that the final version 5.1 of DODS is released.
    Data Object Design Studio is an open source Object/Relational mapping tool.
    Based on XML data model descriptions (DOML files) SQL DDL, sophisticated Java O/R code and documentation (HTML, pdf, XMI) is generated automatically using a generator GUI, by Ant tasks or from within your IDE of choice (using Kelp).
    The generated Java code provides a lot of possibilities for runtime optimization (DO LRU caching, Query LRU caching, cache initialization, lazyloading,...).
    DODS can be used with or without the Enhydra application server.

  • Object Relational Mapping - How to? - With SQLJ? - What brings the future?

    Hi there,
    we are developing applications for masterdata
    maintainance and masks with fast user interaction using a two-tier architektur and a layered java application on the client.
    Currently we are using TOPLink for the ORM stuff.
    As we need a simple and efficient way to encapsulate gui stuff from database interaction i am interessted in SQLJ for the descripted purpose.
    These are my questions:
    1. Can I use SQLJ with a Oracle database lower than 8i
    2. Is there a runtime fee for SQLJ?
    3. How does SQLJ relate to the app server
    hpye?
    4. Where can I get SQLJ?
    5. Do I need JDeveloper in combination with SQLJ or can I use any other IDE?
    Thanks for your input.
    Regards,
    Wolfgang Rothmayer.

    SQLJ is actually orthogonal to use of ORM. It is an embedded language API for (static) SQL database access in contrast to JDBC.
    If you are using SQL Object types (Oracle 8i and later) then there is the JPublisher tool to map these into Java classes.
    Oracle also provides the BC4J (Business Components for Java) product for object-relational access. This is used mostly in conjunction with JDeveloper.
    So from an ORM perspective you would not be asking for SQLJ.
    To the SQLJ-specific questions:
    1. Yes. SQLJ relies on Oracle JDBC for database access. Oracle 7.2 and later can be accessed.
    2. No.
    3. SQLJ can be used in any tier - just like JDBC can.
    4. In the OTN download area. It is also part of all Oracle database releases since 8.1.5.
    5. SQLJ comes with a command line interface (similar to Javac). It is also directly supported in the Oracle server-side JavaVM, which has an integrated Java compiler and SQLJ translator.
    IBM VisualAge for Java has added support for SQLJ. For other IDEs you would be on your own, though I have heard that JBuilder users have been able to integrate SQLJ in their IDE (if somebody sends us a recipe for using SQLJ in their favorite IDE, we'll be happy to include that in future distributions). SQLJ could be integrated either through the commandline, or -for tighter support- through its IDE interface package in sqlj.framework.ide.

  • Object relational mapping (ORM) libraries?

    Hi,
    This is an easy one hopefully. I'm just after some recommendations for a strong ORM packages on top of JDBC.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hibernate is a powerful tool, but it can be a bit overwhelming at first. There are a lot of things that can go wrong and you will get strange error messages that you will not always be able to fix with the manual. Expect to rely on google trying to solve the issues.
    Then there are the performance issues: it is only too easy to create very slow queries using Hibernate, you will need to put work and effort into designing your object relations properly, and some time into benchmarking and optimizing. But this is the same for all ORM packages really.

  • Object-Relational Mapping with BC4J

    Hi Guys,
    I am having trouble creating BC4J components for the object model below. Can BC4J take an object model with many-to-many relationship between them and create tables from it?
    Here are my classes:
    class A {
    private String id;
    private Collection bObjects; //Contains a collection of B objects (0..n)
    class B {
    private String id;
    private Collection aObjects; //Contains a collection of A objects (0..n)
    I would like to feed this object model to JDeveloper and create BC4J components and DDL from it. Is it possible?

    Bc4J does not 'map' java classes to database table but the reverse. To map a java class, you'd have to create the entity objects that mirrors your java class and then create appropriate associations including the many-to-many and then forward-generate database objects from the entity objects.
    You may be able to use Bc4j modeler to define all the above graphically!

  • JPA Object-Relational Mapping: how to deal with self-related mapping?

    ignore the post.
    sorry for my stupidity
    ==
    Hello,
    Suppose I have a class nemed Group, which can have sub-groups. It is defined like:
    @Entity
    Class Group{
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private Group parent; //M-1 mapping
    The problem is Group is mapped to itself:
    child group -- parent group
    M : 1
    How JPA supports that kind of relationship? Can I put both
    @Many-to-One and @One-to-Many over parent field like:
    @Many-to-One
    @One-to-Many
    private Group parent;
    Thanks a lot!

    One possibility could be the following - (included annotation mappings):
    @Entity
    Class Group{
    private int id; // probably should change to Integer to account for null data
    private String name;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "PARENT_GROUP_FK")
    private Group parent; //M-1 mapping
    @OneToMany
    @JoinTable ( name = "SUB_GROUPS",
    joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "PARENT_GROUP_ID")},
    inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "CHILD_GROUP_ID")}
    private List subGroups;
    Tables -
    Group - columns - id, name, parent_group_fk
    Sub_groups - columns - parent_group_id, child_group_id
    The above maps a unidirectional relationship from parent group to child groups, but that really isn't a big deal because you can always get the parent from the parent group id.
    I'm sure this isn't the best way, but it worked for me. HTH.

  • Object Relational Mapping tool

    Hi!
    I've just see a friend who uses c#.net generates all data layer classes for its access database with codus. I want to know if there is a similar tool for java.
    Thanks for your help.

    Speaking for dcminter without his permission.:-)
    Actually, that's not quite what I was after. I don't have a problem with code generation per se. My problem is specifically with the generation of DAOs.
    DAOs should encapsulate your conversations with the database. They should contain the things you wish to ask of, or tell, the database, and nothing else. This isn't something that you can "generate" - it requires thought about what your application will need to do with its data.
    I get very annoyed when I see generated "DAO" logic that EXACTLY mirrors the methods already available to you on (for example) the Hibernate Session object. Really, it adds no value.
    I guess that if this tool is spitting out logic that can be used in place of direct JDBC (or rather .NET's analagous technology) then it's pretty benign and can be decently hidden inside a DAO.
    Omitting DAOs entirely and using DB access logic (be it generated like this thing, or dynamic like Hibernate), is usually not such a good idea - not because one changes the DB access technology very often, but because it helps to keep various types of logic nicely separated, which in turn allows for optimisation of that logic in terms of code reuse.
    Pr�cis: This particular technology isn't as bad as I thought it was at first glance.
