I'm using Hibernate for all CRUD operations in my project. It doesn't work for One-To-Many and Many-To-One relationships. It gives me the below error.
org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.List, at table: College, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(students)]
Then again i went through this video tutorial. It is very simple to me, in the beginning. But, i cant make it work. It also now, says
org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.List, at table: College, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(students)]
I have ran some searches in the internet, there someone telling its a bug in Hibernate, and some says, by adding @GenereatedValue this error ll be cleared, but it doesn't work for me.
College.java
@Entity
public class College {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int collegeId;
private String collegeName;
private List<Student> students;
@OneToMany(targetEntity=Student.class, mappedBy="college", fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
public List<Student> getStudents() {
return students;
}
public void setStudents(List<Student> students) {
this.students = students;
}//Other gettters & setters omitted
Student.java
@Entity
public class Student {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int studentId;
private String studentName;
private College college;
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="collegeId")
public College getCollege() {
return college;
}
public void setCollege(College college) {
this.college = college;
}//Other gettters & setters omitted
Main.java:
public class Main {
private static org.hibernate.SessionFactory sessionFactory;
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
if (sessionFactory == null) {
initSessionFactory();
}
return sessionFactory;
}
private static synchronized void initSessionFactory() {
sessionFactory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
}
public static Session getSession() {
return getSessionFactory().openSession();
}
public static void main (String[] args) {
Session session = getSession();
Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
College college = new College();
college.setCollegeName("Dr.MCET");
Student student1 = new Student();
student1.setStudentName("Peter");
Student student2 = new Student();
student2.setStudentName("John");
student1.setCollege(college);
student2.setCollege(college);
session.save(student1);
session.save(student2);
transaction.commit();
}
}
Console:
