Is it a missing implementation with JPA implementation of hibernate??
- by Jegan
Hi all,
On my way in understanding the transaction-type attribute of persistence.xml, i came across an issue / discrepency between hibernate-core and JPA-hibernate which looks weird.
I am not pretty sure whether it is a missing implementation with JPA of hibernate.
Let me post the comparison between the outcome of JPA implementation and the hibernate implementation of the same concept.
Environment
Eclipse 3.5.1
JSE v1.6.0_05
Hibernate v3.2.3 [for hibernate core]
Hibernate-EntityManger v3.4.0 [for JPA]
MySQL DB v5.0
Issue
1.Hibernate core
package com.expt.hibernate.core;
import java.io.Serializable;
public final class Student implements Serializable {
private int studId;
private String studName;
private String studEmailId;
public Student(final String studName, final String studEmailId) {
this.studName = studName;
this.studEmailId = studEmailId;
}
public int getStudId() {
return this.studId;
}
public String getStudName() {
return this.studName;
}
public String getStudEmailId() {
return this.studEmailId;
}
private void setStudId(int studId) {
this.studId = studId;
}
private void setStudName(String studName) {
this.studName = stuName;
}
private void setStudEmailId(int studEmailId) {
this.studEmailId = studEmailId;
}
}
2. JPA implementaion of Hibernate
package com.expt.hibernate.jpa;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@Table(name = "Student_Info")
public final class Student implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
@Column(name = "STUD_ID", length = 5)
private int studId;
@Column(name = "STUD_NAME", nullable = false, length = 25)
private String studName;
@Column(name = "STUD_EMAIL", nullable = true, length = 30)
private String studEmailId;
public Student(final String studName, final String studEmailId) {
this.studName = studName;
this.studEmailId = studEmailId;
}
public int getStudId() {
return this.studId;
}
public String getStudName() {
return this.studName;
}
public String getStudEmailId() {
return this.studEmailId;
}
}
Also, I have provided the DB configuration properties in the associated hibernate-cfg.xml [in case of hibernate core] and persistence.xml [in case of JPA (hibernate entity manager)].
create a driver and perform
add a student and
query for the list of students and print their details.
Then the issue comes when you run the driver program.
Hibernate core - output
Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.InstantiationException: No default constructor for entity: com.expt.hibernate.core.Student
at org.hibernate.tuple.PojoInstantiator.instantiate(PojoInstantiator.java:84)

This exception is flashed when the driver is executed for the first time itself.
JPA Hibernate - output
First execution of the driver on a fresh DB provided the following output.

second execution of the driver provided the following output.

Could anyone please let me know if you have encountered this sort of inconsistency?
Also, could anyone please let me know if the issue is a missing implementation with JPA-Hibernate?
