- \n
- MySQL and Eclipse are installed<\/li>\n
- MySQL has a database with at least one table<\/li>\n
- You have some basic knowledge about hibernate or any other ORM tool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Steps<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Installing JBoss Eclipse Tools from marketplace<\/span><\/p>\n
Open Eclipse and follow the menu, Help -> Eclipse Marketplace..<\/p>\n
Search for ‘JBoss’ or ‘Hibernate’ and click install on the Jboss Tools<\/p>\n
![\"Eclipse](\"https:\/\/www.tech-freaks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eclipse_marketplace_jboss.png\")
<\/p>\nUn-select all options except “Hibernate Tools” as shown in the below screenshot<\/p>\n
![\"JBoss](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/p>\nClick “Confirm” and then “Finish”. Accept the license agreement.<\/p>\n
Eclipse will prompt to restart<\/p>\n
Creating the hibernate configuration (hibernate.cfg.xml)<\/span><\/p>\n
Once Eclipse has restarted, Open hibernate perspective. Windows -> Open Perspective -> Others<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nThe perspective will be empty. Click on the “Add Configuration” to start the configuration process, as shown below<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nA window “Edit Configuration” will show up, as per the below screen shot. Select the Project by clicking Browse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nNext, click “Setup” from Configuration File section. This will open another windows as shown below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nUsing this, we will be creating the hibernate.cfg.xml which has the information like the database dialect, database URL, drivers, database type, db user id and db password. Once you click “Finish”, this will generate the hibernate.cfg.xml. Then click the “OK” in the “Edit Configuration” window should be open.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nNext, go to the Hibernate Configuration in the Hibernate perspective. Right click the new configuration which you added now and click “Rebuild Configuration”. You should now check the section under “Database” in the hibernate configuration.\u00a0 You should see the tables from your database. If the tables are not showing and it shows an error, you should not proceed further and resolve this issue first. Below are some possible reasons for the error<\/p>\n
- \n
- Database drivers are not in classpath:\u00a0\u00a0Resolution<\/span>: Put the driver jar file in the WEB-INF\/lib folder to resolve this.<\/li>\n
- Database service is not started: Resolution<\/span>: Start your database and try connecting again.
\nOne or more information entered in the hibernate.cfg.xml is incorrect. Verify all the information entered in the hibernate.cfg.xml, anything which is incorrect.<\/li>\n- If you resolved the issue as explained above, you might want to “Rebuild Configuration” after resolving the issue.Once you can see the Database tables, you can proceed to the reverse engineering steps provided below.\n
Create a new Hibernate Reverse Engineering file<\/span><\/p>\n
From the Hibernate Perspective click “File” -> “New” -> “Hibernate Reverse Engineering File (reveng.xml)”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nIn the Wizard that opens, select the project and click “Next”<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSelect the “Console Configuration” from the drop down in the next step and click the “Refresh” button. The Database Schema section will show your database and tables. Select all the tables and click include. Click the “Finish” button to generate hibernate.reveng.xml file.<\/p>\n
If you are unable to generate the hibernate objects, check that you have included all individual tables instead of the whole database and re-generate the reveng.xml<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Once you have the reverse engineering file generated, you need to do Run -> Hibernate Code Generation -> Hibernate Code Generation Configuration\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nIn the window that opens, create a new configuration and enter details as per the below screenshot and click “Run”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/p>\nGo back to Java EE perspective and you will see the hibernate xmls and java files generated in the package specified in the Main tab of the configuration before clicking Run.<\/p>\n
You might want to modify some of the content in the xml or java files generated as per your needs. However, remember that, if you have to regenerated the hibernate objects, your manual changes might get lost.<\/p>\n
\nOne last step you would need to perform, is to add the mapping of the bean in the hibernate.cfg.xml. Below shows a screenshot of adding one mapping.<\/p>\nThat completes the steps to reverse engineer hibernate objects using JBoss Tools in Eclipse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
