Presentation Layer
Goal: Display of information, processing /
forwarding of user interactions.
Technologies: JavaServer Faces (JSF), JavaServer
Pages (JSP), Servlets, etc.
Business (Logic) Layer
Goal: Reproduction of actions or «verbs» of the
application (buy a book, print an order, deliver a
book, etc.).
Technologies: Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs)
Persistence Layer
Goal: Reproduction of database attributes,
information or «nouns» in object / class attributes
(Object-Relational Mapping, ORM).
Technologies: Java Persistence API (JPA)

Object- Relational
Mapping (ORM)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellasdad/425813314

JPA Specification at a Glance
 ORM: Mapping of java objects and database relations.
 Entity manager API: Database operations like: Create, Read,
Update, Delete (CRUD).
 Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL): Object oriented
query language.
 Java Transaction API (JTA): Transaction mechanism.

Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)
Adapted from: Goncalves: Code and Models licensed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 License from https://github.com/agoncal/agoncal-book-javaee7

Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)
 @Entity: declares a
database relation.
 @Id: defines the
primary key value(s).
 @GeneratedValue:
defines a value the will
be automatically
generated.
 @Column: can be used
to modify the standard
mapping behaviour.
Listing: A Simple Book Entity
@Entity
public class Book {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String title;
private Float price;
@Column(length = 2000)
private String description;
private String isbn;
private Integer nbOfPage;
private Boolean illustrations;
// Constructors, getters, setters
}

Simple Example of a Book Entity
Listing: Simple Example of a Book Entity
@Entity
public class Book {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy =
GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
public Book() {
}
// Getters, setters
}

Simple Example of a Book Entity
Listing: Simple Example of a Book Entity
@Entity
public class Book {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy =
GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
public Book() {
}
// Getters, setters
}
Listing: Structure of the BOOK
Table
CREATE TABLE BOOK (
ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
TITLE VARCHAR(255),
PRICE DOUBLE(52, 0),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(255),
ISBN VARCHAR(255),
NBOFPAGE INTEGER,
ILLUSTRATIONS SMALLINT,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);

Querying Entities using JPQL and EntityManager
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("primary");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.persist(book);
 The methods
persist() and find()
will be transferred
by the
EntityManager into
JDBC calls (INSERT or
SELECT SQL
statements).

Listing: A findBookByTitle Named Query
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "findBookWithTitleJava", query = "SELECT b
FROM Book b WHERE b.title =‘Java'")
public class Book {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
@Column(nullable = false)
@Column(length = 2000)
}
Querying Entities using JPQL and EntityManager
 Instead of using native SQL, it
is more sophisticated to use
JPQL:
 SELECT b FROM Book b
WHERE b.title = ‘Java‘;
 JPQL is similar to SQL, which adds
the object-point notation.

Hands-on-1
Java Persistence

Predefined Projects - Hands-on Projects @ GitHub
…will be used for all the hands-on’s
1. First download “Hands-on Projects @ GitHub” ZIP- file from
Moodle and extract it into a folder.
2. Import predefined projects in Eclipse:

Database Connection
…will be used for the next two hands-on’s
 Create or modify the persistence.xml file:
 Choose another student ‘number’
to avoid overwriting.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Hands-on 1: Overview
 Now we know what an entity or the entity manager is.
 In this hands-on we are going to write a small application,
which stores an entity into a database.
 Create a Book entity and a Main class including a main
method, that stores a book entry into our MySQL database
(use the premscis scheme).
 Use the predefined maven project and watch out the pre-
configurations.

Hands-on 1
1. Import (or create from blueprint) the hands-on-1 project. All
the source code will be placed into the
ch.fhnw.mscbis.premscis.handson1 package.
2. Create a Book entity with the following attributes: id,
title, price, description, isbn,
numberOfPages and illustrations. Choose the right
datatypes.
3. Generate Getter & Setter methods.

Hands-on 1
4. Create a Main class and a main method where you create a
book.
// Create a book
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("primary");
EntityTransaction tx = em.getTransaction();
tx.begin();
em.persist(book);
tx.commit();
em.close();
emf.close();

Object- Relational
Mapping (ORM)

@Annotations

@Table
 @Table(name = ""): is used to
define the name of the
database table.
 Btw.:
@javax.persistence.Table
would be the full path to the
annotation, we can use the
short form in combination
with an include.
Listing: The Book Entity Being
Mapped to a T_BOOK Table
@Entity
@Table(name = "t_book")
public class Book {
@Id
private Long id;
public Book() {
}
// Getters and setters
}

@SecondaryTable

@SecondaryTable
Listing: Attributes of the Address Entity Mapped in Three Different Tables
@Entity
@SecondaryTables( {
@SecondaryTable(name = "city"),
@SecondaryTable(name = "country")
})
public class Address {
@Id
private Long id;
private String street1;
@Column(table = "city")
private String city;
private String state;
private String zipcode;
@Column(table = "country")
private String country;
}

Composite Primary Key using @EmbeddedId
Listing: DDL of the NEWS Table with a Composite Primary Key
create table NEWS (
CONTENT VARCHAR(255),
TITLE VARCHAR(255) not null,
LANGUAGE VARCHAR(255) not null,
primary key (TITLE, LANGUAGE)
);
Listing: The Entity Embeds the
Primary Key Class with @EmbeddedId
@Entity
public class News {
@EmbeddedId
private NewsId id;
private String content;
// …
}
Listing: The Primary Key Class Is
Annotated with @Embeddable
@Embeddable
public class NewsId {
private String language;
// …
}

Relationship Mapping
Annotation Direction
@OneToOne Unidirectional
@OneToOne Bidirectional
@OneToMany Unidirectional
@ManyToOne / @OneToMany Bidirectional
@ManyToOne Unidirectional
@ManyToMany Unidirectional
@ManyToMany Bidirectional
All possible mappings:

@OneToOne
Listing: The Customer Entity
@Entity
public class Customer {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String email;
private String phoneNumber;
@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "address_fk")
private Address address;
}
Listing: An Address Entity
@Entity
public class Address {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String city;
private String state;
private String zipcode;
private String country;
@OneToOne(mappedBy = "address")
private Customer customer;
}

@OneToMany Unidirectional
Listing: The Order Entity with a Join Column
@Entity
public class Order {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date creationDate;
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "order_fk")
private List<OrderLine> orderLines;
}
Listing: An OrderLine
@Entity
@Table(name = "order_line")
public class OrderLine {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String item;
private Double unitPrice;
private Integer quantity;
}

@ManyToMany Bidirectional – read & write
Listing: One Artist Appears on Several CD Albums
@Entity
public class Artist {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
@ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinTable(name = "jnd_art_cd",
joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "artist_fk"),
inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "cd_fk"))
private List<CD> appearsOnCDs;
}
Listing: One CD is Created by Several Artists
@Entity
public class CD {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
@ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinTable(name = "jnd_art_cd",
joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "cd_fk"),
inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "artist_fk"))
private List<Artist> createdByArtists;
}

Managing Persistent Objects

Recap our Hands-on 1
Listing: A Main Class Persisting and Retrieving a Book Entity
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1-Create an instance of the Book entity
Book book = new Book();
book.setId(1234L);
book.setTitle("The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy");
book.setPrice(12.5F);
book.setDescription("Science fiction created by Douglas Adams.");
book.setIsbn("1-84023-742-2");
book.setNbOfPage(354);
book.setIllustrations(false);
// 2-Get an entity manager and a transaction
EntityManagerFactory emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(«primary");
EntityTransaction tx = em.getTransaction();
// 3-Persist the book to the database
tx.begin();
em.persist(book);
tx.commit();
// 4-Retrieve the book by its identifier
book = em.find(Book.class, 1234L);
System.out.println(book);
em.close();
emf.close();
}
}

Persisting an Entity
Listing: Persisting a Customer with an Address
EntityManager em = …;
Customer customer = new Customer("Antony", "Balla", "tballa@mail.com");
Address address = new Address("Ritherdon Rd", "London", "8QE", "UK");
customer.setAddress(address);
tx.begin();
em.persist(customer);
em.persist(address);
tx.commit();
assertNotNull(customer.getId());
assertNotNull(address.getId());

JPQL

UPDATE <entity name> [[AS] <identification variable>]
SET <update statement> {, <update statement>}*
[WHERE <conditional expression>]
DELETE FROM <entity name> [[AS] <identification var.>]
JPQL
SELECT- Syntax
DELETE- Syntax
UPDATE- Syntax
 The JPQL syntax is
comparable to the SQL
syntax is used in a MySQL or
Apache Derby environment.
 Extensions in JPQL e.g.:
Source: Goncalves, 2010: Beginning Java™ EE 6 Platform with GlassFish™ 3 – Code (Apache-2.0 license): http://kenai.com/projects/beginningee6/
SELECT <expression>
FROM <clause>
[ORDER BY <clause>]
[GROUP BY <clause>]
[HAVING <clause>]
SELECT CASE b.author WHEN 'Martin'
THEN b.price * 1.5
ELSE b.price * 0.8
END
FROM Book b

Named Queries
 Named Queries like Dynamic Queries:
Query query = em.createNamedQuery("findAll");
List<Customer> customers = query.getResultList();
 as Named Typed Query:
TypedQuery<Customer> query = em.createNamedQuery("findAll", Customer.class);
 and including parameters
Query query = em.createNamedQuery("findWithParam");
query.setParameter("fname", "Vincent");
Listing: The Customer Entity Defining Named Queries
@Entity
@NamedQueries( {
@NamedQuery(name = "findAll", query="select c from Customer c"),
@NamedQuery(name = "findVincent", query="select c from Customer c where c.firstName
= 'Vincent'"),
@NamedQuery(name = "findWithParam", query="select c from Customer c where
c.firstName = :fname") })
public class Customer {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String firstName; /* etc. */ }

Hands-on 2
MANAGING PERSISTENT OBJECTS
Based on: Goncalves, 2010: Beginning Java™ EE 6 Platform with GlassFish™ 3

Hands-on 2
1. Import the «hands-on-2» project.
2. Create the following entities: Address and Customer
 Fields of Address: id, street1, city, zipcode und country.
 Fields of Customer: id, firstName, lastName, email und address.
 Please give the entities a unique table name.
3. Write a main method in a Main class and enter some data
into the database.
