I am creating a basic hibernate application for employee table in which I am adding, updating, deleting and displaying the record with the help of ManageEmployee class.

Actually, ManageEmployee is my test class and i am using Employee.java and Employee.hbm.xml file to do above things.

Details: Database: Oracle 11 g Hibernate version: hibernate-release-4.3.8.Final Java Version: Java 1.8

Employee Table Details:

USER_ID NUMBER(15,0) No 1 1
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) Yes 2
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) Yes 3
SALARY NUMBER(10,0) Yes 4

Error Log: you can see in the log that error is coming 3 times because I am adding Employee object 3 times in ManageEmployee.java class with addEmployee(...) method so I am assuming that problem is with the sequence generator for the column id.

Here I am using naive generator. i.g. Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Zara", "Ali", 1000);

ManageEmployee.java file Code:

import java.util.List; 
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Iterator; 
 
import org.hibernate.HibernateException; 
import org.hibernate.Session; 
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class ManageEmployee {
   private static SessionFactory factory; 
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try{
         factory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
      }catch (Throwable ex) { 
         System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex);
         throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex); 
      }
      ManageEmployee ME = new ManageEmployee();

      /* Add few employee records in database */
      Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Zara", "Ali", 1000);
      Integer empID2 = ME.addEmployee("Daisy", "Das", 5000);
      Integer empID3 = ME.addEmployee("John", "Paul", 10000);

      /* List down all the employees */
      ME.listEmployees();

      /* Update employee's records */
     // ME.updateEmployee(empID1, 5000);

      /* Delete an employee from the database */
     // ME.deleteEmployee(empID2);

      /* List down new list of the employees */
     // ME.listEmployees();
   }
   /* Method to CREATE an employee in the database */

         employee.setSalary( salary );
		 session.update(employee); 
         tx.commit();
      }catch (HibernateException e) {
         if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
         e.printStackTrace();

Employee class is missing a sequence generator so hibernate cannot insert the row. it should be something like this which increase the id count column by 1:

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="SEQUENCE1")
@SequenceGenerator(name="SEQUENCE1", sequenceName="SEQUENCE1", allocationSize=1)
private int user_id;
