Installing Hibernate

Download Page: http://www.hibernate.org/6.html

Click on the Download from SourceForge link on that page

Download hibernate-2.1.6 and hibernate-extensions-2.1.2

Uncompress the files, no compilation is needed

To run Hibernate you need a

• database,
• jdbc drivers
• set your class path

Database

You can use any database you wish

Free databases:

• PostgreSQL, http://www.postgresql.org/
• MySQL, http://dev.mysql.com/

JDBC Drivers

MySQL http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.0.html

MySQL Connector/J

PostgreSQL http://jdbc.postgresql.org/

Setting Your Classpath

The following jar files need to be in your classpath

• Jdbc driver jar
• hibernate-2.1/hibernate2.jar
• hibernate-2.1/lib/*.jar (all 30 jar files)

Optional jar files

• hibernate-extensions-2.1.2/hibern8ide/hibern8ide.jar
• hibernate-extensions-2.1.2/lib/*.jar (5 jar files)
• hibernate-extensions-2.1.2/tools/hibernate-tools.jar
• hibernate-extensions-2.1.2/tools/lib/*.jar (2 jar files)

The following files need to be edited and placed in a directory that is in your classpath

• hibernate-2.1/etc/hibernate.properties
• hibernate-2.1/etc/log4j.properties

Running Hibernate

It is a bit difficult to run Hibernate by hand due to the jar files

Ant

For those that know Ant for an example see

• hibernate-2.1/build.xml

Eclipse

No plugins are needed to run Hibernate programs

Useful Free Eclipse plugins

• XMLBuddy http://xmlbuddy.com/

• Helps edit mapping xml file

• HiberClipse, http://hiberclipse.sourceforge.net/

• Generates mapping files from database info
• Generates tables from mapping files
• Runs class2hbm, hbm2java, ddl2hbm

• Hibernate Synchronizer, http://www.binamics.com/hibernatesync/

• Similar to HiberClipse
• Code generation more sophisticated

Problem with Properties Files

On my machine not being loaded

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      loadProperties();
      etc.
   }
   
   public static void loadProperties() throws IOException {
      Properties all = new Properties(System.getProperties());
      all.load(propertyStream("hibernate.properties"));
      all.load(propertyStream("log4j.properties"));
      System.setProperties(all);
   }

Glorp

Latest Version

Go to the CINCOM public repository, load in this order:

• GlorpVWPort package
• Glorp bundle
• GlorpTest bundle

Preview version

The VisualWorks installation contains a earlier version

Load in the following order:

• VISUALWORKS/preview/GlorpVWPort.pcl
• VISUALWORKS/preview/Glorp.pcl
• VISUALWORKS/preview/GlorpTest.pcl

PostgreSQL connection is already in VW image

MySQL connection is available from CINCOM store, but not highly reliable
