hybernate doubt

Hi all,

How to map a class with more than one table?If the data is in multiple tables then how to map those tables with a single class?

thanks,
Sudha.

Hi,

Place as many classes as you want inside the hibernate mapping file as follows,
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="event.Employee" table="employee">
<id name="id" >
<generator class="increment"></generator>
</id>
<property name="empId" column="EMP_ID"/>
<property name="empName" column="EMP_NAME"/>
<property name="empPwd" column="EMP_PASSWORD"/>
</class>
<class name="event.Employee" table="dept">
<id name="id" >
<generator class="increment"></generator>
</id>
<property name="empId" column="EMP_ID"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Hi ,


Using the <join> element, it is possible to map properties of one class to several tables.

please refer Hibernate_reference.pdf 3.2 , page no:78

It is not at all good practice to have more than one mapping into your mapping files. So each mapping file should contain only one class mapping.

sudha,

you can create two mapping files(*.hbm.xml) and put class mapping with same class name and different table name.
If you find any difficulties, you can always come back. Please show us some efforts.
