Tutorial:Create Spring 3 MVC Hibernate 3 Example using Maven in Eclipse

Let us make a complete end-to-end application using Spring 3.0 MVC as front end technology and Hibernate as backend ORM technology. For this application we will also use Maven for build and dependency management and MySQL as database to persist the data.

The application will be a simple Contact Manager app which will allow user to add new contacts. The list of contacts will be displayed and user will be able to delete existing contacts.

Our Goal

As describe above, our goal is to create a contact manager application which will allow the user to add a contact or remove it. The basic requirement of the Contact Manager app will be:

  1. Add new contact in the contact list.
  2. Display all contacts from contact list.
  3. Delete a contact from contact list.

Following is the screenshot of end application.

Application Architecture

We will have a layered architecture for our demo application. The database will be accessed by a Data Access layer popularly called as DAO Layer. This layer will use Hibernate API to interact with database. The DAO layer will be invoked by a service layer. In our application we will have a Service interface called ContactService.
spring3-hibernate-application-architecture

Getting Started

For our Contact Manager example, we will use MySQL database. Create a table contacts in any MySQL database. This is very preliminary example and thus we have minimum columns to represent a contact. Feel free to extend this example and create a more complex application.

CREATE TABLE CONTACTS
(
    id              INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    firstname    VARCHAR(30),
    lastname    VARCHAR(30),
    telephone   VARCHAR(15),
    email         VARCHAR(30),
    created     TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

Creating Project in Eclipse

The contact manager application will use Maven for build and dependency management. For this we will use the Maven Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse as the base architecture of our application.

Download the below source code:
Maven Dynamic Web Project (6.7 KB)

spring3-hibernate-project-structureUnzip the source code to your hard drive and import the project in Eclipse. Once the project is imported in Eclipse, we will create package structure for Java source. Create following packages under src/main/java folder.

  • net.viralpatel.contact.controller – This package will contain Spring Controller classes for Contact Manager application.
  • net.viralpatel.contact.form – This package will contain form object for Contact manager application. Contact form will be a simple POJO class with different attributes such as firstname, lastname etc.
  • net.viralpatel.contact.service – This package will contain code for service layer for our Contact manager application. The service layer will have one ContactService interface and its corresponding implementation class
  • net.viralpatel.contact.dao – This is the DAO layer of Contact manager application. It consists of ContactDAO interface and its corresponding implementation class. The DAO layer will use Hibernate API to interact with database.

Entity Class – The Hibernate domain class

Let us start with the coding of Contact manager application. First we will create a form object or hibernate POJO class to store contact information. Also this class will be an Entity class and will be linked with CONTACTS table in database.
Create a java class Contact.java under net.viralpatel.contact.form package and copy following code into it.

File: src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/form/Contact.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.form;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="CONTACTS")
public class Contact {

    @Id
    @Column(name="ID")
    @GeneratedValue
    private Integer id;

    @Column(name="FIRSTNAME")
    private String firstname;

    @Column(name="LASTNAME")
    private String lastname;

    @Column(name="EMAIL")
    private String email;

    @Column(name="TELEPHONE")
    private String telephone;

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }
    public String getTelephone() {
        return telephone;
    }
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    public void setTelephone(String telephone) {
        this.telephone = telephone;
    }
    public String getFirstname() {
        return firstname;
    }
    public String getLastname() {
        return lastname;
    }
    public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
        this.firstname = firstname;
    }
    public void setLastname(String lastname) {
        this.lastname = lastname;
    }
    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

The first thing you’ll notice is that the import statements import from javax.persistence rather than a Hibernate or Spring package. Using Hibernate with Spring, the standard JPA annotations work just as well and that’s what I’m using here.

  • First we’ve annotated the class with @Entity which tells Hibernate that this class represents an object that we can persist.
  • The @Table(name = "CONTACTS") annotation tells Hibernate which table to map properties in this class to. The first property in this class on line 16 is our object ID which will be unique for all events persisted. This is why we’ve annotated it with @Id.
  • The @GeneratedValue annotation says that this value will be determined by the datasource, not by the code.
  • The @Column(name = "FIRSTNAME") annotation is used to map this property to the FIRSTNAME column in the CONTACTS table.

The Data Access (DAO) Layer

The DAO layer of Contact Manager application consist of an interface ContactDAO and its corresponding implementation class ContactDAOImpl. Create following Java files in net.viralpatel.contact.dao package.

File: src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/dao/ContactDAO.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.dao;

import java.util.List;

import net.viralpatel.contact.form.Contact;

public interface ContactDAO {

    public void addContact(Contact contact);
    public List<Contact> listContact();
    public void removeContact(Integer id);
}

File: src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/dao/ContactDAOImpl.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.dao;

import java.util.List;

import net.viralpatel.contact.form.Contact;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository
public class ContactDAOImpl implements ContactDAO {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void addContact(Contact contact) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(contact);
    }

    public List<Contact> listContact() {

        return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from Contact")
                .list();
    }

    public void removeContact(Integer id) {
        Contact contact = (Contact) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().load(
                Contact.class, id);
        if (null != contact) {
            sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().delete(contact);
        }

    }
}

The DAO class in above code ContactDAOImpl implements the data access interface ContactDAO which defines methods such as listContact(), addContact() etc to access data from database.

Note that we have used two Spring annotations @Repository and @Autowired.

Classes marked with annotations are candidates for auto-detection by Spring when using annotation-based configuration and classpath scanning. The @Component annotation is the main stereotype that indicates that an annotated class is a “component”.

The @Repository annotation is yet another stereotype that was introduced in Spring 2.0. This annotation is used to indicate that a class functions as a repository and needs to have exception translation applied transparently on it. The benefit of exception translation is that the service layer only has to deal with exceptions from Spring’s DataAccessException hierarchy, even when using plain JPA in the DAO classes.

Another annotation used in ContactDAOImpl is @Autowired. This is used to autowire the dependency of the ContactDAOImpl on the SessionFactory.

The Service Layer

The Service layer of Contact Manager application consist of an interface ContactService and its corresponding implementation class ContactServiceImpl. Create following Java files in net.viralpatel.contact.service package.

File: src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/service/ContactService.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.service;

import java.util.List;

import net.viralpatel.contact.form.Contact;

public interface ContactService {

    public void addContact(Contact contact);
    public List<Contact> listContact();
    public void removeContact(Integer id);
}

File: src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/service/ContactServiceImpl.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.service;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import net.viralpatel.contact.dao.ContactDAO;
import net.viralpatel.contact.form.Contact;

@Service
public class ContactServiceImpl implements ContactService {

    @Autowired
    private ContactDAO contactDAO;

    @Transactional
    public void addContact(Contact contact) {
        contactDAO.addContact(contact);
    }

    @Transactional
    public List<Contact> listContact() {

        return contactDAO.listContact();
    }

    @Transactional
    public void removeContact(Integer id) {
        contactDAO.removeContact(id);
    }
}

In above service layer code, we have created an interface ContactService and implemented it in class ContactServiceImpl. Note that we used few Spring annotations such as @Service, @Autowired and @Transactional in our code. These annotations are called Spring stereotype annotations.

The @Service stereotype annotation used to decorate the ContactServiceImpl class is a specialized form of the @Component annotation. It is appropriate to annotate the service-layer classes with @Service to facilitate processing by tools or anticipating any future service-specific capabilities that may be added to this annotation.

Adding Spring MVC Support

Let us add Spring MVC support to our web application.

Update the web.xml file and add servlet mapping for org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet. Also note that we have mapped url / with springServlet so all the request are handled by spring.

File: /src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
	id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
	<display-name>Spring3-Hibernate</display-name>
	<welcome-file-list>
		<welcome-file>list.html</welcome-file>
	</welcome-file-list>
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>
			org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
		</servlet-class>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Once the web.xml is configured, let us add spring-servlet.xml and jdbc.properties files in /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder.
File: /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties

jdbc.driverClassName= com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
jdbc.databaseurl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ContactManager
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=testpass

The jdbc.properties file contains database connection information such as database url, username, password, driver class. You may want to edit the driverclass and dialect to other DB if you are not using MySQL.

File: /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml

The spring-servlet.xml file contains different spring mappings such as transaction manager, hibernate session factory bean, data source etc.

  • jspViewResolver bean – This bean defined view resolver for spring mvc. For this bean we also set prefix as “/WEB-INF/jsp/” and suffix as “.jsp”. Thus spring automatically resolves the JSP from WEB-INF/jsp folder and assigned suffix .jsp to it.
  • messageSource bean – To provide Internationalization to our demo application, we defined bundle resource property file called messages.properties in classpath.
    Related: Internationalization in Spring MVC
  • propertyConfigurer bean – This bean is used to load database property file jdbc.properties. The database connection details are stored in this file which is used in hibernate connection settings.
  • dataSource bean – This is the java datasource used to connect to contact manager database. We provide jdbc driver class, username, password etc in configuration.
  • sessionFactory bean – This is Hibernate configuration where we define different hibernate settings. hibernate.cfg.xml is set a config file which contains entity class mappings
  • transactionManager bean – We use hibernate transaction manager to manage the transactions of our contact manager application.

File: /src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

label.footer=&copy; ViralPatel.net

Spring MVC Controller

We are almost done with our application. Just add following Spring controller class ContactController.java to net.viralpatel.contact.controller package.

File: /src/main/java/net/viralpatel/contact/controller/ContactController.java

package net.viralpatel.contact.controller;

import java.util.Map;

import net.viralpatel.contact.form.Contact;
import net.viralpatel.contact.service.ContactService;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@Controller
public class ContactController {

	@Autowired
	private ContactService contactService;

	@RequestMapping("/index")
	public String listContacts(Map<String, Object> map) {

		map.put("contact", new Contact());
		map.put("contactList", contactService.listContact());

		return "contact";
	}

	@RequestMapping(value = "/add", method = RequestMethod.POST)
	public String addContact(@ModelAttribute("contact")
	Contact contact, BindingResult result) {

		contactService.addContact(contact);

		return "redirect:/index";
	}

	@RequestMapping("/delete/{contactId}")
	public String deleteContact(@PathVariable("contactId")
	Integer contactId) {

		contactService.removeContact(contactId);

		return "redirect:/index";
	}
}

The spring controller defines three methods to manipulate contact manager application.

  • listContacts method – This method uses Service interface ContactServer to fetch all the contact details in our application. It returns an array of contacts. Note that we have mapped request “/index” to this method. Thus Spring will automatically calls this method whenever it encounters this url in request.
  • addContact method – This method adds a new contact to contact list. The contact details are fetched in Contact object using @ModelAttribute annotation. Also note that the request “/add” is mapped with this method. The request method should also be POST. Once the contact is added in contact list using ContactService, we redirect to /index page which in turn calls listContacts() method to display contact list to user.
    Related: Forms in Spring MVC
  • deleteContact method – This methods removes a contact from the contact list. Similar to addContact this method also redirects user to /index page once the contact is removed. One this to note in this method is the way we have mapped request url using @RequestMapping annotation. The url “/delete/{contactId}” is mapped thus whenever user send a request /delete/12, the deleteCotact method will try to delete contact with ID:12.

Finally add following JSP file to WEB-INF/jsp folder.

File: /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/contact.jsp

<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Spring 3 MVC Series - Contact Manager | viralpatel.net</title>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Contact Manager</h2>

<form:form method="post" action="add.html" commandName="contact">

	<table>
	<tr>
		<td><form:label path="firstname"><spring:message code="label.firstname"/></form:label></td>
		<td><form:input path="firstname" /></td>

</table>
</form:form>

	</tr>
</c:forEach>

</c:if>

    Thanks for creating these Spring tutorials. It’s helped me get up to speed with the technologies. This creates a nice foundation I can build on. You must have put a lot of work into it. In every case, I was able to get the examples to work. However, I think the last tutorial, while great, assumes you already have a Maven background. But I eventually got it working. Thanks again for your generous work.

    I ran into some issues on the last tutorial with Spring/Maven/Hibernate. I choose to use postgresql instead of mysql. I just find it a more full-featured database. So in order to get the hibernate examples to work, I had to make a few refinements. Postgresql uses sequences to generate incremental numbers, so you have to account for that in your hibernate mapping file. Initially, hibernate was looking for a sequence called hibernate_sequence. I modified the mapping file in order to reference the proper sequence name.

    –jdbc.properties
    jdbc.driverClassName= org.postgresql.Driver

      Since the example uses Annotation (without hbm files).. you can use Sequence annotation on Contact class as follows:-
      @SequenceGenerator(name = “contacts_id_seq”, initialValue = 1001)

    Hi, i am trying same application , But it is giving this error

    The requested resource (/SpringAppliaction/delete/3) is not available.

    even in addcontact() also if i give redirect:/index
    shwing error like resource is not available
    I am thinking that my application is not supporting RESTFull URLs.
    IS that the problem?

    Did you mean :
    File–> Import–>Maven–>Existing Maven Projects ?

    Where are the jars ? the pom.xml has only one dependency :

    javax.servlet

    where are the others (spring, hibernate,….) ?

      @Eugen – there can be several reasons why you getting 404 error. Check your web.xml and see which URi have you mapped DispatcherServlet with. Mostly we map *.html. So next try to call /admin.html instead of /admin. Let me know if that helps.

        I finally made it work after tweaking the maven pom file little bit ( for some reason hibernate-entititymagere3.2.0.GA was not pulling the transitive dependencies). So just added those missing jars manually to pom file. Any ways, it is working now.

        However, Please help me in understanding one thing I can not understand. To run the project I had to give the URL as
        http://localhost:8080/Spring3HibernateMaven/index.
        But I do not see any where we have created index.html . So, my question is how does that URL drives the application ?

          Hi Kiran, Check the web.xml in your project. The Spring’s DispatcherServlet is mapped with URi *.html. Thus any user request with .html will be forwarded to Spring servlet which in turns map “ïndex” with appropriate controller’s method.

          I would recommend you this article: Introduction to Spring 3 MVC

            The confusion is coming here ( I see couple of other people experienced the same issues as me ) because In your finished code zip file, index.jsp file is NOT defined.
            I followed these steps to make it work.
            1) created webapp/list.jsp file with the following content
            “”
            2) And then added these lines in the web.xml file.
            “list.jsp”
            With these changes’ one can use the following URL to drive the application.
            http://localhost:8080/Spring3HibernateMaven/

            No need to add index to the URL.

    One more comment for those struggling with the tutorial. I kept running into maven dependency issues with the Hibernate jars. So I edited the pom.xml file as follows:

    Replace this entry:

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-entitymanager
    3.3.2.ga

    With this:

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-core
    3.3.1.GA

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-annotations
    3.4.0.GA


    javassist
    javassist
    3.4.GA

    org.slf4j
    slf4j-log4j12
    1.5.2

    In case this doesn’t show properly you can read about this fix here:
    https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2395418

    All of your Maven problems should go away. Also don’t forget to name your MySQL database “ContactManager” or change jdbc.properties to point to the name of the one you create.

    org.springframework.transaction.IllegalTransactionStateException: No existing transaction found for transaction marked with propagation ‘mandatory’

    I am using Spring 3 with Hibernate 3.x. I have a Service class (in the processors package) which gets the Autowired DAO. The Service class has a save method that is marked as @Transactional, but somehow it seems like Spring is not able to initiate the transaction and hence the DAO marked with @Transactional(Mandatory) blows up.
    Here is my root-context.xml file:

      @Gurmeet. Does you @Transaction(Propagation.REQUIRED) works? I guess it does not, because in my case both works. I think you have not injected sessionFactory to transactionManager bean. Add these to the place where you have added your dataSource (Of course add tx and aop in beans section of configuration).

      And classes where you add @Transaction should be scanned for @Repository using

      You can add this is yourservlet-servlet.xml file.

    1. Don’t include Hibernate in the WAR file. Set the Maven scope in the dependency to “provided”. This is avoid some errors when deploying (as JBoss already has Hibernate jars included).

    2. Had to upgrade to Spring version 3.1.0.RELEASE due to a change in JBoss 6 vfs. The latest version of Spring handles this (actually it may have been fixed in 3.0.3). Either way 3.1.0 works.

    3. You can get Hibernate to automatically create the database table by adding:
    create-drop
    to the hibernateProperties in the SessionFactory configuration in spring-servlet.xml

    4. To actually access the application in my browser, I had to point it to:
    http://localhost:8080/Spring3HibernateMaven-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/index
    because I didn’t specify a context root for the webapp, and it defaults to the name of the WAR file.

      just noticed the bit about the hibernate config left out the property name due to angle-brackets. the property you need to set is: hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create-drop

      @Subair: Please check if all the JAR files are in your project’s classpath. And also if all the classes like Controller, Service, DAO have Getter and Setter methods.

    This is really well written. But I also couldn’t get it running. Which Hibernate version is used for this? I tried 3.6.9, it always fails:

    Error creating bean with name ‘contactController’: Injection of autowired dependencies failed

    Hi Viral, first of all: thanks for this tutorial!
    But I keep getting the same error as subair – every class has getter and setter methods, but it still won’t work…
