MyBatis 3 - Spring integration tutorial

MyBatis 3 - Spring integration tutorial

As a first step of this tutorial, Spring MVC 3 CRUD example with MyBatis 3, we will define a MyBatis service that will help us to perform CRUD operation on database.

We have a domain class for User and a database table to store the User information on database. We will use xml configuration model for our example to define SQL commands that will perform CRUD operation.





Our Domain class

01	package com.raistudies.domain;

02

03	import java.io.Serializable;

04

05	public class User implements Serializable{

06

07	private static final long serialVersionUID = 3647233284813657927L;

08

09	private String id;

10	private String name = null;

11	private String standard = null;

12	private String age;

13	private String sex = null;

14

15	//setter and getter have been omitted to make the code short

16

17

@Override

18	public String toString() {

19	return "User [name=" + name + ", standard=" + standard + ", age=" + age

20	+ ", sex=" + sex + "]";

21

}

22

}

We have five properties in our domain class called User for which have to provide database services.

Our Database Table

Following is our database table:

1	CREATE TABLE `user` (

2	`id` varchar(36) NOT NULL,

3	`name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,

4	`standard` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,

5	`age` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,

6	`sex` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,

7	PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

8	) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Creating interface for CRUD operations

For defining the CRUD database operation using MyBatis 3, we have to specify the methods that will be used to perform CRUD operation. Following is the interface for our example:

01	package com.raistudies.persistence;

02

03	import java.util.List;

04

05	import com.raistudies.domain.User;

06

07	public interface UserService {

08

09	public void saveUser(User user);

10	public void updateUser(User user);

11	public void deleteUser(String id);

12	public List getAllUser();

13

}

We have four methods here to perform operations create,update , delete and get from database.

XML Mapping file for UserService interface

01	xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

02

03	"http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">

04

05	<mapper namespace="com.raistudies.persistence.UserService">

06

07	<resultMap id="result" type="user">

08	<result property="id" column="id"/>

09	<result property="name" column="name"/>

10	<result property="standard" column="standard"/>

11	<result property="age" column="age"/>

12	<result property="sex" column="sex"/>

13	resultMap>

14

15	<select id="getAllUser" parameterType="int" resultMap="result">

16	SELECT id,name,standard,age,sex

17	FROM user;

18

select>

19

20	<insert id="saveUser" parameterType="user">

21	INSERT INTO user (id,name,standard,age,sex)

22	VALUE (#{id},#{name},#{standard},#{age},#{sex})

23

insert>

24

25	<update id="updateUser" parameterType="user">

26	UPDATE user

27

SET

28	name = #{name},

29	standard = #{standard},

30	age = #{age},

31	sex = #{sex}

32	where id = #{id}

33

update>

34

35	<delete id="deleteUser" parameterType="int">

36	DELETE FROM user

37	WHERE id = #{id}

38

delete>

39

mapper>

You will see a lot of things new here:

The mapping file will contain element  to define the SQL statement for the services. Here the property “namespace” defines the interface for which this mapping file has been defined.

 tag defines that the operation is of type insert. The value of “id” property specifies the function name for which the SQL statement is been defined. Here it is “saveUser“. The property “parameterType” defines the parameter of the method is of which type. We have used alias for the class User here. The alias will be configured in MyBatis Configuration file later. Then, we have to define the SQL Statement. #{id} defines that the property “id” of class User will be passed as a parameter to the SQL query.

 tag is used to specify the mapping between the User class and user table. id of is a unique name to the mapping definition. Under this tag, we define the different properties and which column is bounded to which property.

 tag is used to specify a select SQL statement. The value of “id” property specifies the function name for which the SQL statement is been defined.The attribute resultMap is used to define the return type of the SQL statement as a collection.MyBatis 3 Configuration fileFollowing is our configuration file for MyBatis:01xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>0203PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"04"http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">05 06<configuration>07    <settings>08        09       <setting name="lazyLoadingEnabled" value="false" />10    settings>11    <typeAliases>12        <typeAlias type="com.raistudies.domain.User" alias="user"/>13    typeAliases>14configuration>You can see, we have not defined some very important properties here:Database connection properties.Transaction related properties.And also have not defined mappers configuration.MyBatis 3 is very powerful SQL mapping framework with automatic database access class generation using a proxy implementation of the services defined by users. We get realize it’s true power if you integrate MyBatis 3 with Spring framework and use these proxy implementation. It will reduce our database work by 80%. Below, we will see how to integrate MyBatis 3 with Spring 3 framework. Previously, we created the CRUD database service for class User using MyBatis 3. Now, we will integrate the data services implemented using MyBatis with Spring framework.Tools Used:c3p0-0.9.1.2.jar – For providing pooled database connection.mybatis-spring-1.0.0.jar – For integrating MyBatis with Spring (Provided by MyBatis team)Spring JDBC and Core libraryTo integrate these two frameworks, we have to follow bellow steps:Step 1: Defining datasource as a Spring beanAs we will use c3po data source provider, we have to define datasource bean in Spring. Following is the configuration snippet:12<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"3destroy-method="close" p:driverClass="${app.jdbc.driverClassName}"4p:jdbcUrl="${app.jdbc.url}" p:user="${app.jdbc.username}" p:password="${app.jdbc.password}"5p:acquireIncrement="10" p:idleConnectionTestPeriod="60" p:maxPoolSize="100"6p:maxStatements="50" p:minPoolSize="10" />Here we have created a spring bean with id dataSource of class com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSourcewhich is provided by c3p0 library for pooled data source.We have set some properties in the bean. Following is the description of properties defined in bean:driverClass : Driver class that will be used to connect to database.jdbcUrl : jdbc url defining the database connection string.user : username of the database user.password : password of the database user.acquireIncrement : how many connections will be created at a time when there will be a shortage of connections.idleConnectionTestPeriod : after how much delay a connection will be closed if it is no longer in use.maxPoolSize : Max number of connections that can be created.maxStatements : Max number of SQL statements to be executed on a connection.minPoolSize : Minimum number of connections to be created.We have used Spring EL to define many of the property values, that will be bring from properties file.Defining Transaction Manager in SpringWe will user Transaction Manager provided by Spring JDBC framework and for defining transaction levels we will use annotations. Following is the configuration for transaction manager:12<bean id="transactionManager"3class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager"4p:dataSource-ref="dataSource" />5 67<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />Defining MyBatis SqlSessionFactory and MapperScanner0102<bean id="sqlSessionFactory" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean">03    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />04    <property name="configLocation" value="WEB-INF/mybatis/sqlmap-config.xml" />05bean>06 0708<bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">09    <property name="basePackage" value="${MapperInterfacePackage}" />10bean>The SqlSessionFactory bean will provide SessionFactory instances of MyBatis. To configure SqlSessionFactory, we need to define two properties. First the data source which will be used by MyBatis to create connection database and MyBatis configuration file name to configure the environment of MyBatis.MapperScannerConfigurer is used to publish the data service interfaces in defined for MyBatis to configure as Spring Beans. We just have to provide package in which the interfaces and their mapping XML files has been defined. We can specify more than one packages using common separation or semicolon. After that we will be able to get the instances of UserService using @Autowired annotation. We do not have to implement the interface as MyBatis will provide proxy implementation for this.Spring configuration file as togetherHere is our jdbc-context.xml as together:01xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>02<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"03xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"04xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"05xsi:schemaLocation="06 07http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans08 09http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd10 11http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx12 13http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd14 15http://www.springframework.org/schema/context16 17http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd18 19">20 21<context:property-placeholder location="/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties,/WEB-INF/mybatis/mybatis.properties"/>22 23    24    <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />25 26    27    <bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"28    destroy-method="close" p:driverClass="${app.jdbc.driverClassName}"29    p:jdbcUrl="${app.jdbc.url}" p:user="${app.jdbc.username}" p:password="${app.jdbc.password}"30    p:acquireIncrement="10" p:idleConnectionTestPeriod="60" p:maxPoolSize="100"31    p:maxStatements="50" p:minPoolSize="10" />32 33    34    <bean id="transactionManager"35    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager"36    p:dataSource-ref="dataSource" />37 38    39    <bean id="sqlSessionFactory" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean">40        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />41        <property name="configLocation" value="WEB-INF/mybatis/sqlmap-config.xml" />42    bean>43 44    45    <bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">46        <property name="basePackage" value="${MapperInterfacePackage}" />47    bean>48 49beans>jdbc.properties file1# database properties2app.jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver3app.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/mybatis-example4app.jdbc.username=root5app.jdbc.password=passwordmybatis.properties file1MapperInterfacePackage=com.raistudies.persistenceReference:  Creating CRUD service using MyBatis 3 Mapping Framework – Part 1 & Integrating MyBatis 3 and Spring frameworks – Part 2 from our JCG partner Rahul Mondal at the Rai Studies blog.
