A STORY

MVC

• Model- Entity solely concerned with getting the data, providing the data and being the data itself. (The role of cook)

• View- Renders the model into a form that is actually displayable. (The role of decorator)

• Controller- Orchestrates the entire architecture, passes the necessary details to models and then calls the right view in order to do the presentation. (The roll of stickman)

Why MVC

• Controller is separated from Model. (Concept of multiple cooks)

• View is separated from Model. (Cook doesn’t worry about the presentation of food)

• View is separated from Controller. (Stickmen doesn’t worry about the presentation)

MVC Frameworks

• Different MVC frameworks have different implementations of these concepts.

• They provide prebuilt classes.• They are extensible.

Popular Java MVC frameworks

• Struts• Struts 2• Springs MVC• Play• JSF• Wicket• Many More

Pattern vs. Framework

• Pattern is a set of guidelines on how to architect the application

• When we implement a pattern we need to have some classes and libraries

• Thus, pattern is the way you can architect your application.

• Framework helps us to follow a particular pattern when we are building a web application

• These prebuilt classes and libraries are provided by the MVC framework.

• Framework provides foundation classes and libraries.

Advantages of Frameworks

• Gets us started really quickly- If we are developing a number of web applications on a similar pattern, then instead of rewriting the same classes again and again, we have a set of classes and libraries that make our work easier.

• Leverages industries best practices- If we use MVC framework, it proves to be really helpful, because the way the framework has been designed, it consumes a lot of real world experience.

STRUTS 2 DISPATCHER: web.xml

• Verifies the request URI and determine which action to invoke.

• Two types of dispatchers are used– Filter Dispatcher (org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher)

STRUTS 2 DISPATCHER: web.xml– StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter

(org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter)

ABOUT STRUTS 2

• It’s an MVC framework• Version 2• Gives us prebuilt classes for MVC that we can

use / extend

HIBERNATE: AN APPROACH OF ORM

JDBC• Standard Java API for database-independent connectivity between

the Java programming language and a wide range of databases.

• JDBC provides a flexible architecture to write a database independent applications that can run on different platforms and interact with different DBMS without any modification.

• JDBC includes APIs for each of the task commonly associated with database usage:– Making a connection to a database.– Creating SQL statements.– Executing SQL queries in the database.– Viewing & modifying the resulting records.

JDBC

Pros of JDBC• Clean and simple SQL

processing• Good performance with

small data• Very good for small

applications• Simple syntax so easy to

learn

Cons of JDBC• Complex if it is used in large

projects• Large programming

overhead• No encapsulation• Hard to implement MVC

concept• Query is DBMS specific

HIBERNATE

• An ORM tool• Used in the data layer of application, for

persisting application data into database• Implements JPA– This means that it follows a set of standards for

implementing persistence, so that in future if we want to change from Hibernate, we can easily do it without any performance issues.

The Problem

The Problem

• Mapping member variables to columns • Mapping Relationships• Handling data types (esp. Boolean)

• Managing changes to object state

The Problem

Object

Relational

Mapping!

ORM

• Converts data between relational databases and object oriented programming languages

• Advantages over JDBC– Lets business code access objects rather than DB tables– Hides details of SQL queries from OO logic– Based on JDBC ‘under the hood’– No need to deal with database implementation– Transaction Management and automatic key generation– Fast development of applications

JAVA ORM Frameworks

• Enterprise JavaBeans Entity Beans• Java Data Objects• Castor• TopLink• Springs DAO• Hibernate• Many More

Saving without Hibernate

• JDBC Database Configuration• The Model Object• Service method to create the model object• Database Design• DAO method to save the object using SQL

queries

The Hibernate Way

• JDBC Database Configuration – Hibernate Configuration

• The Model object – Annotations• Service method to create the model object –

Use the Hibernate API• Database Design – Not Needed ! • DAO method to save the objects using SQL

queries – Not Needed !

Supported Databases

• HSQL• DB2• MySQL• PostgreSQL• FrontBase• Oracle• H2• Sybase and many more

Supported Technologies

• Xdoclet Spring• J2EE• Eclipse plug-ins• Maven

Hibernate Architecture

HIBERNATE CONFIGURATION

• Refers to the hibernate configuration file that is hibernate.cfg.xml

• This file is read first by the hibernate framework and the data flow is done accordingly

• Consists of properties and mapping resource• Mapping resource can consist of a xml file or a POJO class

with annotations• Consists of properties such as connection url, driver class,

username, password, dialect and hbm2ddl.auto

HIBERNATE show_sql

Hibernate Table Creation

Features of Hibernate

• Implementation of JPA• ORM tool• Has data caching abilities• Provides an entire different SQL implementation known as

HQL, which is the basis of NoSQL databases• Can persist the following relations in database, using

annotations as well as xml files.– One to One– One to Many– Many to One– Many to many
