Hibernate Architecture

Last Updated : 14 Aug, 2024

Prerequisites: Introduction of Hibernate


Hibernate is a framework which is used to develop persistence logic
which is independent of Database software. In JDBC to develop
persistence logic we deal with primitive types. Whereas Hibernate
framework we use Objects to develop persistence logic which are

independent of database software. Hibernate Architecture:


Configuration:
• Configuration is a class which is present in org.hibernate.cfg
package. It activates Hibernate framework. It reads both
configuration file and mapping files.
It activate Hibernate Framework
Configuration cfg=new Configuration();
It read both cfg file and mapping files
cfg.configure();
• It checks whether the config file is syntactically correct or not.
• If the config file is not valid then it will throw an exception. If it is
valid then it creates a meta-data in memory and returns the meta-
data to object to represent the config file.
SessionFactory:
• SessionFactory is an Interface which is present in org.hibernate
package and it is used to create Session Object.
• It is immutable and thread-safe in nature.
buildSessionFactory() method gathers the meta-data which is in the
cfg Object.
From cfg object it takes the JDBC information and create a JDBC
Connection.
SessionFactory factory=cfg.buildSessionFactory();
Session:
• Session is an interface which is present in org.hibernate package.
Session object is created based upon SessionFactory object i.e.
factory.
• It opens the Connection/Session with Database software through
Hibernate Framework.
• It is a light-weight object and it is not thread-safe.
• Session object is used to perform CRUD operations.
Session session = factory.openSession();
openSession() is a method provided by the SessionFactory that
creates and returns a new Session instance. This session is not bound
to any transaction or context and is independent of any ongoing
transactions in the application.
We can also use getCurrentSession, that returns a Session bound to
the current context, which is usually managed by a transaction
manager or a framework like Spring.
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
