Maven[pom.xml] 

A Project Object Model or POM is the fundamental unit of work in Maven. It is an XML file that contains information about the project and configuration details utilized by Maven to build the project. It contains default values for most projects. Some of the configurations that can be designated in the POM is the project dependencies, the plugins or goals that can be executed, the build profiles, and so on. Other information such as the project version, description, developers, mailing lists, and such can withal be designated.

Create Entities

'one-to-many' relationship refers to the relationship between two entities/tables Employee and EmployeeContact in which one element/row of Employee may only be linked to many elements/rows of EmployeeContact, but a member of EmployeeContact is linked to only one element/row of Employee   The @Entity annotation specifies that the class is an entity and is mapped to a database table. The @Id annotation specifies the primary key of an entity and the @GeneratedValue provides for the specification of generation strategies for the values of primary keys. The @Column annotation is used to specify the mapped column for a persistent property or field. If no Column annotation is specified, the default value will be applied.

Employee.java

package com.example.demo.model;

import java.util.Set;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "employee")
public class Employee {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
private Integer id;
@Column(name = "name")
private String name;
private Integer salary;
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "empId")
private Set<EmployeeContact> employeeContacts;

public Set<EmployeeContact> getEmployeeContacts() {
return employeeContacts;
}

public void setEmployeeContacts(Set<EmployeeContact> employeeContacts) {
this.employeeContacts = employeeContacts;
}

public Employee() {
}

public Integer getId() {
return id;
}

public Employee setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
return this;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public Employee setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
return this;
}

public Integer getSalary() {
return salary;
}

public Employee setSalary(Integer salary) {
this.salary = salary;
return this;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
return "Employee [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ",
salary=" + salary + ", employeeContacts=" + employeeContacts
+ "]";
}
}


EmployeeContact.java

package com.example.demo.model;

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

@Entity
@Table(name = "employee_contact")
public class EmployeeContact {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "id")
private Integer id;
private Long phoneNo;

public EmployeeContact() {
}

public Integer getId() {
return id;
}

public EmployeeContact setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
return this;
}

public Long getPhoneNo() {
return phoneNo;
}

public void setPhoneNo(Long phoneNo) {
this.phoneNo = phoneNo;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
return "EmployeeContact [id=" + id + ", phoneNo=" + phoneNo + "]";
}
}


Repository[EmployeeRepository.java]

package com.example.demo.repository;

import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import com.example.demo.model.Employee;

@Repository
public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Integer> {
List<Employee> findByName(String name);

}
@Repository annotation is used to indicate that the class provides the mechanism for storage, retrieval, search, update and delete operation on objects.


Controller[HomeController.java]

package com.example.demo.controller;

import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.DeleteMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.example.demo.model.Employee;
import com.example.demo.repository.EmployeeRepository;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("employee")
public class HomeController {
@Autowired
EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;

@GetMapping
public List<Employee> findAll() {

return employeeRepository.findAll();

}

@PostMapping
public Employee saveEmployee(@RequestBody Employee employee) {
return employeeRepository.save(employee);

}

@GetMapping("/{employeeName}")
public List<Employee> findByName(@PathVariable("employeeName")
String employeeName) {
return employeeRepository.findByName(employeeName);

}

@DeleteMapping("/{id}")
public String deleteEmployee(@PathVariable("id") Integer id) {
try {
employeeRepository.deleteById(id);
return "Deleted successfully";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Failed to delete";
}
}
}
The @RestController annotation was introduced in Spring 4.0 to simplify the engendering of RESTful web services. It's a convenience annotation that combines @Controller and @ResponseBody. @RequestMapping annotation maps HTTP requests to handler methods of MVC and REST controllers.


Main Driver Class

package com.example.demo;

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import com.example.demo.model.Employee;
import com.example.demo.model.EmployeeContact;
import com.example.demo.repository.EmployeeRepository;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringbootJpaHibernateOnetoonemappingApplication
implements CommandLineRunner {
@Autowired
EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;

public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run
(SpringbootJpaHibernateOnetoonemappingApplication.class, args);
}

@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
Employee employee = new Employee();
employee.setName("sibin");
employee.setSalary(12500);
EmployeeContact contact1 = new EmployeeContact();
contact1.setPhoneNo(111111111111l);
EmployeeContact contact2 = new EmployeeContact();
contact2.setPhoneNo(22222222222222l);
Set<EmployeeContact> contacts = new HashSet<>();
contacts.add(contact1);
contacts.add(contact2);
employee.setEmployeeContacts(contacts);
employeeRepository.save(employee);

}
}
The @SpringBootApplication annotation is a convenience annotation that combines the @EnableAutoConfiguration, @Configuration and the @ComponentScan annotations.

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Stream<obj2>

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeExc
