Google launched a developer site devoted to the new HTML5 spec. The site is HTML5rocks.com.
Will HTML5 put an end to Flash and Sliverlight?
This is primarily a reference post.
This is what we have:
1. A table in our Oracle DB with just key and value pairs (table name is key_value)
2. We have a class KeyValue.java that has two properties: Key and Value
public class KeyValue {
private String key = null;
private String value = null;
// with getters and setters
public getKey…
public setKey…
public getValue…
public setValue…
}
3. And a Hibernate session
Objective: Write a method to query and return a list of KeyValue objects using Hibernate without traversing the Object[] array.
Also a hibernate mapping does not currently exist for the KeyValue class.
Possible issues: Oracle returns aliases in uppercase so Hibernate’s reflection attempts fail.
Hibernate will look for setVALUE and setKEY methods which don’t exist in our KeyValue class. A fix for this issue is to put the alias name within quotes as shown in solution example below.
Solution Example:
public List<KeyValue> getValues() {
StringBuffer sql = new StringBuffer();
sql.append( ” select value as \”value\”, key as \”key\” from key_value order by key asc”)
Query query = getSession().createSQLQuery( sql.toString() )
.addScalar(”value”, Hibernate.STRING).addScalar(”key”, Hibernate.STRING)
.setResultTransformer( Transformers.aliasToBean( KeyValue.class ) );
return query.list();
}
