获得具有持久List类型字段的实体的最聪明的方法是什么?

Command.java

package persistlistofstring;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.Basic;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;

@Entity
public class Command implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    Long id;
    @Basic
    List<String> arguments = new ArrayList<String>();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Command command = new Command();

        EntityManager em = Persistence
                .createEntityManagerFactory("pu")
                .createEntityManager();
        em.getTransaction().begin();
        em.persist(command);
        em.getTransaction().commit();
        em.close();

        System.out.println("Persisted with id=" + command.id);
    }
}

这段代码产生:

似乎没有一个答案探讨了@ElementCollection映射的最重要的设置。

当您用这个注释映射一个列表并让JPA/Hibernate自动生成表、列等时,它也会使用自动生成的名称。

让我们来分析一个基本的例子:

@Entity
@Table(name = "sample")
public class MySample {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    @ElementCollection // 1
    @CollectionTable(name = "my_list", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "id")) // 2
    @Column(name = "list") // 3
    private List<String> list;
    
}

基本的@ElementCollection注释(您可以在其中定义已知的fetch和targetClass首选项) @CollectionTable注释在为将要生成的表命名时非常有用,它还可以定义像joinColumns、foreignKey’s、indexes、uniqueConstraints等。 @Column对于定义存储列表varchar值的列的名称很重要。

生成的DDL将是:

-- table sample
CREATE TABLE sample (
  id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

-- table my_list
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_list (
  id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  list varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES sample (id)
);

其他回答

我想要的是在一个表列中持久化一组string的简单方法。

我最终使用JSON,因为MySQL 5.7+有原生支持。 这是我的解决方案

    @Column(name = "eligible_approvers", columnDefinition = "json")
    @Convert(converter = ArrayJsonConverter.class)
    private Set<String> eligibleApprovers;

然后写一个很基本的转换器

@Converter(autoApply = true)
public class ArrayJsonConverter implements AttributeConverter<Set, String> {

    static final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

    @Override
    public String convertToDatabaseColumn(Set list) {
        if (list == null)
            return null;
        try {
            return mapper.writeValueAsString(list);
        } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }


    @Override
    public Set convertToEntityAttribute(String dbJson) {
        if (dbJson == null)
            return null;
        try {
            return mapper.readValue(dbJson, new TypeReference<Set<String>>() {
            });
        } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

我也遇到了同样的问题,所以我投资了可能的解决方案,但最后我决定实现我的“;”分离的字符串列表。

所以我有

// a ; separated list of arguments
String arguments;

public List<String> getArguments() {
    return Arrays.asList(arguments.split(";"));
}

这样,列表在数据库表中很容易阅读/编辑;

当使用JPA的Hibernate实现时,我发现只需将类型声明为ArrayList而不是List就可以允许Hibernate存储数据列表。

显然,与创建Entity对象列表相比,这有许多缺点。没有惰性加载,不能从其他对象引用列表中的实体,可能在构造数据库查询时更加困难。然而,当您处理相当原始类型的列表时,您总是希望与实体一起急切地获取,那么这种方法对我来说似乎很好。

@Entity
public class Command implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    Long id;

    ArrayList<String> arguments = new ArrayList<String>();


}

Thiago的答案是正确的,添加了更具体的示例问题,@ElementCollection将在您的数据库中创建新表,但没有映射两个表,这意味着集合不是实体的集合,而是简单类型的集合(字符串等)或可嵌入元素的集合(类注释@Embeddable)。

下面是持久化String列表的示例

@ElementCollection
private Collection<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();

下面是持久化自定义对象列表的示例

@Embedded
@ElementCollection
private Collection<Car> carList = new ArrayList<Car>();

在这种情况下,我们需要使类Embeddable

@Embeddable
public class Car {
}

使用一些JPA 2实现:它添加了一个@ElementCollection注释,类似于Hibernate的注释,这正是您所需要的。这里有一个例子。

Edit

正如下面评论中提到的,正确的JPA 2实现是

javax.persistence.ElementCollection

@ElementCollection
Map<Key, Value> collection;
