How to generate DAO classes for Hibernate with JDBC transaction factory

If you need to generate DAO classes (Home classes) for Hibernate based on JDBC transaction factory, then in a start folder you need:

• A folder named hbm2java_gen that contains all the POJOs classes.
• The below ant script (named hbm2daoJNDI_JDBCTransactionFactory.xml):

<project name="Hibernate Tools for Ant - hbm2daoJDBC" default="run">
    <target name="clean">
        <delete dir="JDBC_java/classes"/>
        <delete dir="JDBC_java/jar"/>
    </target>
    <target name="compile" depends="clean">
        <mkdir dir="JDBC_java/classes"/>
        <javac srcdir="JDBC_java/src" destdir="JDBC_java/classes"/>
    </target>
    <target name="jar" depends="compile">
        <mkdir dir="JDBC_java/jar"/>
        <jar destfile="JDBC_java/jar/GenerateDAOForJDBC.jar" 
                                                  basedir="JDBC_java/classes">
            <manifest>
                <attribute name="Main-Class" 
                           value="com.hibernate.jdbc.GenerateDAOForJDBC"/>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
    </target>
    <target name="run" depends="jar">
        <java jar="JDBC_java/jar/GenerateDAOForJDBC.jar" fork="true"/>
    </target>
</project>

• The JDBC_java folder that can be downloaded from http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca0a5c0/n/HibernateTools.rar.
• A folder named hbm2daojdbc_gen folder that will contain the generated DAOs.

Now, you can generate the DAOs, like this:

1. Edit /JDBC_java/src/package.properties file, to specify your application package (by default, it is set to com.hibernate.demo).
2. Run the above Ant script with:

ant –f hbm2daoJNDI_JDBCTransactionFactory.xml

A generated transaction will be of form (supposing a User POJO class):

public void persist(Users transientInstance) {
  log.debug("Persisting Users instance");
  try {
      sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
      sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().persist(transientInstance);
      sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().commit();
      log.debug("Persist successful");
      } catch (RuntimeException re) {
  factory.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().rollback();
 log.error("Persist failed", re);
 throw re;
       }
   }

For Tomcat users, in the JDBC_java/src/ you can find a simple example of web.xml and META-INF/context.xml for configuring datasource connection through JNDI.

A possible hibernate.cfg.xml for this case will look like below:

code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
 <session-factory>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java:/comp/env/jdbc/usersdb
  </property>
  <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
  <property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">
       org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property>
  <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>        
  <mapping resource="com/hibernate/demo/Users.hbm.xml" />
 </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
