Hibernate One to Many Indexed Mapping

Hibernate One to Many Indexed Mapping

In this section, you will learn to one to many indexed mapping in Hibernate to preserve mapping order.

In the previous one to many example using hibernate , multiple employees mapped with a address. For this we purpose we used java.util.Set. But the mapping order is not preserved. But in some application the order is very important. For this purpose, we use java.util.List. And also we add indx column specially for this purpose. This column store the index value for each column. This will also helps us in conserving order of records while retrieving.

The Project hierarchy is given below :

The SQL Query used to create employee  table is given below :

CREATE TABLE `employee` ( 
`employee_id` bigint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
`firstname` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`lastname` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`cell_phone` varchar(15) default NULL, 
`address_id` bigint(20) default NULL, 
`indx` int(11) default NULL, 
PRIMARY KEY (`employee_id`), 
KEY `FK_employee` (`address_id`), 
CONSTRAINT `FK_employee` FOREIGN KEY (`address_id`) REFERENCES `address` (`address_id`) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 

The SQL query used to create address table is given below :

CREATE TABLE `address` ( 
`address_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
`street` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`city` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`state` varchar(50) default NULL, 
`country` varchar(50) default NULL, 
PRIMARY KEY (`address_id`) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

In employee table, you will get the following record :

In address table, you will get the following record :
