EJB3

With the use of Java 5's new metadata support and Hibernate 3's early annotation tools I decided to see what it would take to make an EJB3 Entity Bean. Well it's quite a bit simpler than Entity EJBs used to be and I don't need a big nasty EJB container either! It's just a plain old Java object (POJO). And as you can see in the main method's source code, I can still use the same Hibernate code that I'm familiar with.

@Entity(access=AccessType.FIELD)
@Table(name="my_brand", schema="ds")
public class Brand {
    @Id(generate=GeneratorType.NONE)
    @Column(name="brand_code")
    private String id;
   
    @Column(name="brand_name")
    private String name;
   
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Configuration cfg = new AnnotationConfiguration()
            .configure();
        SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
       
        Session session = factory.openSession();
        try{
            Brand b = (Brand)session.createQuery(
                    "select b from Brand as b")
                .setMaxResults(1)
                .uniqueResult();
            System.out.println(b.getName());
        }finally{
            session.close();
        }
    }
    //getters and setters
}
