Hibernate Inheriatance Mapping Table per class annotation Example

Inheriatance Mapping Table per class annotation:

A third option is to map only the concrete classes of an inheritance hierarchy to tables. This is called the table-per-concrete-class strategy. Each table defines all persistent states of the class, including the inherited state.

In Hibernate, it is not necessary to explicitly map such inheritance hierarchies. You can map each class as a separate entity root. However, if you wish use polymorphic associations (e.g. an association to the superclass of your hierarchy), you need to use the union subclass mapping.

Inserting record into Table per class annotation

public void insertBook(Book bk) {

      transaction.commit();
    } catch (HibernateException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

Test to Insert record into Table per class annotation

Retrieving or getting record from Table per class

public Book getBook(int id) {
    Book sd = null;
    try {
      Session s = getSession();
      sd = (Book) s.get(Book.class, id);
    } catch (HibernateException e) {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }
    return sd;
  }

Test to Retrieve or get record from Table per class

package com.candidjava.hibernate;

    Book b = ms.getBook(1);
 
    System.out.println(b.getAuthor());
    System.out.println(b.getTitle());
