Many-to-Many Association Mapping Annotation

A many-to-many association is defined logically using the @ManyToMany annotation. You also have to describe the association table and the join conditions using the @JoinTable annotation.

@ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinTable(name = "STUDENT_COURSE", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "STUDENT_ID") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "COURSE_ID") })

Code

Student.java

package com.candidjava.hibernate;

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.ManyToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "STUDENT")
public class Student {

	private long studentId;
	private String studentName;
	private Set<Course> courses = new HashSet<Course>(0);

	public Student() {
	}

	public Student(String studentName) {
		this.studentName = studentName;
	}

	public Student(String studentName, Set<Course> courses) {
		this.studentName = studentName;
		this.courses = courses;
	}

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	@Column(name = "STUDENT_ID")
	public long getStudentId() {
		return this.studentId;
	}

	public void setStudentId(long studentId) {
		this.studentId = studentId;
	}

	@Column(name = "STUDENT_NAME", nullable = false, length = 100)
	public String getStudentName() {
		return this.studentName;
	}

	public void setStudentName(String studentName) {
		this.studentName = studentName;
	}

	@ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
	@JoinTable(name = "STUDENT_COURSE", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "STUDENT_ID") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "COURSE_ID") })
	public Set<Course> getCourses() {
		return this.courses;
	}

	public void setCourses(Set<Course> courses) {
		this.courses = courses;
	}

}

Course.java

package com.candidjava.hibernate;

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

@Entity
@Table(name = "COURSE")
public class Course {

	private long courseId;
	private String courseName;

	public Course() {
	}

	public Course(String courseName) {
		this.courseName = courseName;
	}

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	@Column(name = "COURSE_ID")
	public long getCourseId() {
		return this.courseId;
	}

	public void setCourseId(long courseId) {
		this.courseId = courseId;
	}

	@Column(name = "COURSE_NAME", nullable = false)
	public String getCourseName() {
		return this.courseName;
	}

	public void setCourseName(String courseName) {
		this.courseName = courseName;
	}

}

save or inserting record into many to Many annotation mapping

public void insertStudent(Student bk) {
		try {
			Session s = getSession();
			Transaction transaction = s.beginTransaction();
			s.save(bk);

			transaction.commit();

		} catch (HibernateException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

}

Get or fetch record from many to Many annotation mapping

public Student getStudents(long id) {
		Student sd = null;
		try {
			Session s = getSession();

			sd = (Student) s.get(Student.class, id);

		} catch (HibernateException e) {
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
		return sd;
	}
