Java ORM example application

The following tutorial implements a REST API server using the Hibernate ORM. The scenario is that of an e-commerce application. Database access in this application is managed through Hibernate ORM.

The source for this application can be found in the Using ORMs with YugabyteDB repository.

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes that you have:

YugabyteDB up and running. Download and install YugabyteDB by following the steps in Quick start.
Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8, or later, is installed. JDK installers for Linux and macOS can be downloaded from OpenJDK, AdoptOpenJDK, or Azul Systems.
Apache Maven 3.3, or later, is installed.

Clone the "orm-examples" repository

$ git clone https://github.com/YugabyteDB-Samples/orm-examples.git

There are a number of options that can be customized in the properties file located at src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml. Given YSQL's compatibility with the PostgreSQL language, the hibernate.dialect property is set to org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect and the hibernate.connection.url is set to the YSQL JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5433/yugabyte.

Build the application

$ cd orm-examples/java/hibernate

$ mvn -DskipTests package

Run the application

Start the Hibernate application's REST API server at http://localhost:8080.

$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.yugabyte.hibernatedemo.server.BasicHttpServer

Send requests to the application

Create 2 users.

$ curl --data '{ "firstName" : "John", "lastName" : "Smith", "email" : "jsmith@example.com" }' \
   -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/users

$ curl --data '{ "firstName" : "Tom", "lastName" : "Stewart", "email" : "tstewart@example.com" }' \
   -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/users

Create 2 products.

$ curl \
  --data '{ "productName": "Notebook", "description": "200 page notebook", "price": 7.50 }' \
  -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/products

$ curl \
  --data '{ "productName": "Pencil", "description": "Mechanical pencil", "price": 2.50 }' \
  -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/products

Create 2 orders.

$ curl \
  --data '{ "userId": "2", "products": [ { "productId": 1, "units": 2 } ] }' \
  -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/orders

$ curl \
  --data '{ "userId": "2", "products": [ { "productId": 1, "units": 2 }, { "productId": 2, "units": 4 } ] }' \
  -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' http://localhost:8080/orders

Query results

Using the YSQL shell

$ ./bin/ysqlsh

ysqlsh (11.2)
Type "help" for help.

yugabyte=#

List the tables created by the app.

yugabyte=# \d

List of relations
 Schema |          Name           |   Type   |  Owner
--------+-------------------------+----------+----------
 public | orderline               | table    | yugabyte
 public | orders                  | table    | yugabyte
 public | orders_user_id_seq      | sequence | yugabyte
 public | products                | table    | yugabyte
 public | products_product_id_seq | sequence | yugabyte
 public | users                   | table    | yugabyte
 public | users_user_id_seq       | sequence | yugabyte

Note the 4 tables and 3 sequences in the list above.

yugabyte=# SELECT count(*) FROM users;

     2
(1 row)

yugabyte=# SELECT count(*) FROM products;

yugabyte=# SELECT count(*) FROM orders;

     2
(1 row)

yugabyte=# SELECT * FROM orderline;

 order_id                             | product_id | units
--------------------------------------+------------+-------
 45659918-bbfd-4a75-a202-6feff13e186b |          1 |     2

 f19b64ec-359a-47c2-9014-3c324510c52c |          2 |     4
(3 rows)

Note that orderline is a child table of the parent orders table connected using a foreign key constraint.

Using the REST API

$ curl http://localhost:8080/users

{
  "content": [
    {
      "userId": 2,
      "firstName": "Tom",
      "lastName": "Stewart",
      "email": "tstewart@example.com"
    },
    {
      "userId": 1,
      "firstName": "John",
      "lastName": "Smith",
      "email": "jsmith@example.com"
    }
  ],
  ...
}

$ curl http://localhost:8080/products

{
  "content": [
    {
      "productId": 2,
      "productName": "Pencil",
      "description": "Mechanical pencil",
      "price": 2.5
    },
    {
      "productId": 1,
      "productName": "Notebook",
      "description": "200 page notebook",
      "price": 7.5
    }
  ],
  ...
}

$ curl http://localhost:8080/orders
