We’ve already discussed a different kind of primary keys, either simple or composite primary keys have assigned an inline values in the executable applications that were made. by looking into @Id, @IdClass or @EmbeddedId examples you could see that. But what if we would have some generator to generate these primary values. This tutorial explains the ID …

Spring Data JPA Tutorial
Persistence API (JPA) provides POJO (Plain Old Java Object) standard and object relational mapping (OR mapping) for data persistence among applications. Persistence, which deals with storing and retrieving of application data, can now be programmed with Java Persistence API starting from EJB 3.0 as a result of JSR 220. This API has borrowed many of …
PrimeFaces + EclipseLink / JPA + MongoDB Integration
This tutorial explains the PrimeFaces + JPA + MongoDD integration. We are going to create a Pie Chart application using the PrimeFaces component library with the additional software JPA and MongoDB for the persistence mechanism. Before writing any snippet of code, you should have a proper installation and configuration for both the database (MongoDB) and the …
JPA – Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) – PART II
This tutorial is a complement for Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) Part I, in which a new techniques of querying should be discovered and learned. Instead of depending on the entities that being retreived upon query for accessing their inner state/association fields, we’ve also would be querying those fields through an advanced techniques of query. …
JPA – Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) – PART I
Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) is a string-based query language used to define queries over entities and their persistent states. It enables the application developer to specify the semantics of queries in a portable way and independent of the particular database schema that in use. Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) is not only portable but …
JPA – Lazy Loading and Eager Loading
Eclipselink 2.1 is a persistence provider runtime of the Java Persistence API 2.1 specification. JPA specification defines two major strategies of loading data (Lazy and Eager). The EAGER strategy is a requirement on the persistence provider runtime that data must be eagerly fetched. The LAZY strategy is a hint to the persistence provider runtime that …
JPA Entity Listeners And Callback Methods
Before JPA 2.1 the concept of Entity Listeners (Injectable EntityListeners) wasn’t defined until JPA 2.1 released. The entity listener concept allows the programmer to designate a methods as a lifecycle callback methods to receive notification of entity lifecycle events. A lifecycle callback methods can be defined on an entity class, a mapped superclass, or an entity …
EclipseLink – DDL Schema Generation in JPA 2.1
If you’ve a good experience in the Java Persistence API, you can configure the JPA to generates the required schema. These are not part of the JPA implementation prior to the JPA 2.1 specification. These are considered as the extensions for the JPA provider. However, this has been standardized from the JPA 2.1 release. JPA …
