Mapping same class relation - continuation

Question

This post is an continuation of this post

I have DlUser Class each object of this class may have DLFaceBook class and each object of DlFaceBook can have Friends whic

Answer 1

Just Facebook and MyFriends

Facebook Notice add convenience method and MutableLong (later, i tell you why to use MutableLong)

public class Facebook {

    private MutableLong id = new MutableLong();
    public Long getId() { return id.longValue(); }
    public void setId(Long id) { this.id.setValue(id); }

    public MutableLong getIdAsMutableLong() {
        return id;
    }

    private Collection<MyFriends> myFriends = new ArrayList<MyFriends>();
    public Collection<MyFriends> getMyFriends() { return myFriends; }
    public void setMyFriends(Collection<MyFriends> myFriends) { this.myFriends = myFriends; }

    /**
     * add convenience method
     */
    public void addFriend(Facebook myFriendFacebook) {
        myFriends.add(new MyFriends(this, myFriendFacebook));
    }

}

MyFriends

public class MyFriends {

    private MyFriendsId myFriendId;
    public MyFriendsId getmyFriendId(){ return this.myFriendId; }
    public void setmyFriendId(MyFriendsId myFriendId){ this.myFriendId = myFriendId; }

    private Facebook me;
    public Facebook getme() { return this.me; }
    public void setme(Facebook me){ this.me = me; }

    private Facebook myFriend;
    public Facebook getmyFriend() { return this.myFriend; }
    public void setmyFriend(Facebook friend) { this.myFriend = friend; }

    public MyFriends() {}
    public MyFriends(Facebook meFacebook, Facebook myFriendFacebook){
        this.me = meFacebook ;
        this.myFriend = myFriendFacebook;

        this.myFriendId = new MyFriendsId(meFacebook.getIdAsMutableLong(), myFriendFacebook.getIdAsMutableLong());
    }

    public static class MyFriendsId implements Serializable {

        private MutableLong meId = new MutableLong();
        public Long getMeId() { return this.meId.longValue(); }
        public void setMeId(Long id) { this.meId.setValue(id); }

        private MutableLong myFriendId = new MutableLong();
        public Long getMyFriendId(){ return this.myFriendId.longValue(); }
        public void setMyFriendId(Long id) { this.myFriendId.setValue(id); }

        public MyFriendsId() {}
        public MyFriendsId(MutableLong meId, MutableLong myFriendId) {
            this.meId = meId;
            this.myFriendId = myFriendId;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object o) {
            if (!(o instanceof MyFriendsId))
                return false;

            MyFriendsId other = (MyFriendsId) o;
            return new EqualsBuilder()
                       .append(getMeId(), other.getMeId())
                       .append(getMyFriendId(), getMyFriendId())
                       .isEquals();
        }

        @Override
        public int hashCode() {
            return new HashCodeBuilder()
                       .append(getMeId())
                       .append(getMyFriendId())
                       .hashCode();
        }

    }
}

Mapping

<hibernate-mapping package="br.com._3845772.model.domain">
    <class name="User">
        <id name="id">
            <generator class="native"/>
        </id>
        <many-to-one cascade="all" class="Facebook" name="facebook"/>
    </class>
    <class name="Facebook">
        <id name="id">
            <generator class="native"/>
        </id>
        <bag cascade="all" name="myFriends">
            <key column="ME_FACEBOOK_ID" update="false"/>
            <one-to-many class="MyFriends"/>
        </bag>
    </class>
    <class name="MyFriends">
        <composite-id class="MyFriends$MyFriendsId" name="myFriendId">
            <key-property column="ME_FACEBOOK_ID" name="meId"/>
            <key-property column="MY_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID" name="myFriendId"/>
        </composite-id>
        <many-to-one class="Facebook" column="ME_FACEBOOK_ID" insert="false" name="me" update="false"/>
        <many-to-one class="Facebook" column="MY_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID" insert="false" name="myFriend" update="false"/>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

And this sample

Facebook meFacebook = new Facebook();
Facebook myFriendFacebook = new Facebook();

meFacebook.addFriend(myFriendFacebook);

Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
session.beginTransaction();

session.save(myFriendFacebook);
session.save(meFacebook);

session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();

Which gives me

Hibernate: insert into Facebook values ( )
Hibernate: insert into Facebook values ( )
Hibernate: select myfriends_.ME_FACEBOOK_ID, myfriends_.MY_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID from MyFriends myfriends_ where myfriends_.ME_FACEBOOK_ID=? and myfriends_.MY_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID=?
Hibernate: insert into MyFriends (ME_FACEBOOK_ID, MY_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID) values (?, ?)

A couple of notes

• Hibernate does not support automatic generation of composite primary key. You must set up its value before saving
• Your database must support the target generator strategy (If you does not know which generator strategy your database support, prefer to use a native strategy)
• Each entity must supply a no-arg constructor

Now why MutableLong (encapsulated by a Long property) instead of Long ?

Number and its subclasses (Long is a Number) are immutable. So if you want Facebook.id (configured by database) and its counterpart MyFriend$MyFriendId.meId share the same value, you must use MutableLong. When the database set up Facebook.id, MyFriend$MyFriendId.meId automatically get its newest value. But it just occurs if you use a MutableLong.
