Struts Hibernate Integration

Description

Struts Hibernate Integration is most useful for the data which will be stored into the database from JSP pages or HTML pages. If the input values are passed from JSP page on int or a String, then struts container automatically converts the values of that type. There is no need of any Typecasting in parameters.
For example, if userId and Password are given in the JSP page, it will store in the database. When userId and password are entered, struts container gives the response that login details successfully saved, else gives the response as invalid userid and password.

Execution flow digram of Struts to Hibernate integration.

When the requested is passed by client through the struts frame work, it will reach the DAO (Database Access object), DAO checks the data in database and give it back to the client.

Examples

Create the index.jsp and formBean class and configure in struts_config.XML file.

index.jsp

	
<html>	 	
<body>	 	
<form action="Login.do"> 	
UserId:<input type="text" name = "userId"/>	 	
password:<input type=&"password" name="password"/>	 	
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>	
</form>	 	
</body>	 	
</html>

Here the developer just created two text boxes for enter the UserID, password, and also created submit button.
web.xml

 <servlet> 	
 <servlet-name>struts</servlet-name> 	 
 <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> 	
 <init-param>	 	 
 <param-name>config</param-name>	 	
 <param-value>structs_config.xml</param-value>	 	 
 </init-param>	 	 
 </servlet>	 	 
 <servlet-mapping>	 	
 <servlet-name>struts</servlet-name>	 	 
 <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>	 	
</servlet-mapping>

Here make sure that servlet-name should be same and struts configuration file has mentioned in the .
FormBeanClass.java

package com.itoolsinfo;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

public class FormBeanClass extends ActionForm
{
  private int userId;
  private String password;


public int getUserId() {
	return userId;
}
public void setUserId(int userId) {
	this.userId = userId;
}
public String getPassword() {
	return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
	this.password = password;
}
}

Here created the class FormBeanClass that is extending the ActionForm with the variables of userId, password. Set and Get methods are used here, this keyword is used to refer the current object.
structs_config.xml

<struts-config>	 	
 <form-beans>	 	 
 <form-bean name="FormBeanClass" type="com.itoolsinfo.FormBeanClass"/>	 	 
 </form-beans>	 	 
 "action-mappings>	 	 
 <action path="/Login" name="FormBeanClass" type="com.itoolsinfo.LoginAction" scope="request">	 	 
 <forward name="success" path="/success.jsp"></forward>	 	 
 <forward name="failure" path="/failure.jsp"></forward>	 
 </action>	 	
 </action-mappings> 	
 	 	 
</struts-config>

Here forward tag is used to call the success file and failure file.

Create the persistence class.

UserLogin.java

package com.itoolsinfo.model;

public class UserLogin
{
	 private int userId;
	  private String password;
	
	
	public int getUserId() {
		return userId;
	}
	public void setUserId(int userId) {
		this.userId = userId;
	}
	public String getPassword() {
		return password;
	}
	public void setPassword(String password) {
		this.password = password;
	}
}

Here created another class with the name UserLogin and also used Set and Get methods, this keyword is used refer the current object.

To map the persistence class in mapping file.

userlogin.hbm.xml

 <hibernate-mapping>	 	 
 <class name="com.itoolsinfo.model.UserLogin" table="userlogindetails" >	 
<id name="userId"> 	
 <generator class="assigned"></generator> 	 	 
 </id>	 	 
 <property name="password"></property>	 
 </class>	 	
 </hibernate-mapping>

The generator class subelement of id utilized to produce the unique identifier for the objects of persistence class. There are numerous generator classes characterized in the Hibernate Framework. All the generator classes actualizes the org.hibernate.id.IdentifierGenerator interface.

Configure the mapping file in Configuration file.

hibernate.cfg.xml

  
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">  
   
<hibernate-configuration>  
   
    <session-factory>
           <property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>  
           <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE</property>
          <property name="connection.username">system</property>  
          <property name="connection.password">system</property> 
        
       <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>  
       <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>  
       <property name="show_sql">true</property>  
        
      <mapping resource="userlogin.hbm.xml"/>
    </session-factory>  
  </hibernate-configuration>

Properties	Description
hibernate.connection.driver_class	The JDBC driver class.
hibernate.dialect	This property makes Hibernate generate the suitable SQL for the picked database.
hibernate.connection.url	The JDBC URL to the database instance.
hibernate.connection.username	The database username.
hibernate.connection.password	The database password.
hibernate.connection.pool_size	Limits the number of connections waiting in the Hibernate database connection pool.
hibernate.connection.autocommit	Allows autocommit mode to be used for the JDBC connection.

Create the LoginForm class. It will get request from ActionForm class and give the input values.

LoginForm.java

package com.itoolsinfo.model;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class LoginForm 
{
	
public boolean loginDetails(int userId, String password)
{
	boolean flag=true;
	SessionFactory factory=new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
      Session session=factory.openSession();
      
     UserLogin userLogin = new UserLogin();
       userLogin.setUserId(userId);
       userLogin.setPassword(password);
      
     Transaction transaction=session.beginTransaction();
      try
      {
    	  session.save(userLogin);
    	  transaction.commit();
      }catch(Exception e)
      {
    	  transaction.rollback();
    	  flag=false;
    	  
      }
      session.close();
      return flag;
      }
}

This is the log in page, Application acquires session objects from Session Factory. SessionFactory is for the most part arranged as Singleton in application, SessionFactory stores produce SQL statements and other mapping metadata that Hibernate utilizes at runtime.

Create the LoginAction class and create the Dao class object in Action class to give the response success or failure JSP pages.

LoginAction.java

package com.itoolsinfo;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

import com.iquickinfo.model.LoginForm;

public class LoginAction extends Action

{
	
	public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
	{
		
	     FormBeanClass formBean = (FormBeanClass) form;
		ActionForward af = null;
		
	      int userId= formBean.getUserId();
	      String password = formBean.getPassword();
	        
               LoginForm loginForm = new LoginForm();
	       boolean b = loginForm.loginDetails(userId, password);
	       
	       if(b){
	    	   af = mapping.findForward("success");
	       }else{
	    	   af = mapping.findForward("failure");
	       }
	    
		return af;
	}
}

This is action page if it correct then it access success page otherwise it access failure page.
success.jsp


<html>	 	
<head>	 	
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> 	
<title>Insert title here</title>	 	
</head>	 	
<body>	 	
<h1>SpLessons Login Details successfully saved.</h1> 	
</body> 	
</html>

This page is used to display the text that SpLessons Login Details successfully saved.
failure.jsp


<html>	 	
<head>	 	
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">	
<title>Insert title here</title>	
</head> 	
<body>	 	
<h1>Invalid userId and password. </h1>	 	
</body>	 	
</html>

This page is used to display the text that Invalid userId and password.

Add all the jar files in lib folder.

Hibernate jars,
struts jars,
ojdbc14.jar

Run the application in server and display the JSP page.

Enter the userId and password. After displaying the output in command line, give the response on browser.

One can check the output in database table for conformation whether the data will be saved or not.

select * from userlogindetails;

Output

Key Points

Struts Hibernate Integration – Struts are used to extend the JAVA servlet API.
Struts Hibernate Integration – Struts related jar files needs to be added while integrating with other frameworks.
While compiling JSP page should be in active mode because of data will be accessed from there only
