Persistence doesn't create table from entity in database - database

Question

I build a web application using hibernate JPA 2 + spring. I have problem with creation of domain model. In persistence I declared the automatic creation of database tables from entity. Here is my persistence.xml file:
<persistence-unit name="basicPersistenceUnit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
In domain model I have two classes. One Is abstract which provide the persistence properties to inherited classes:
import org.hibernate.annotations.GenericGenerator;
import org.hibernate.type.UUIDBinaryType;
import javax.persistence.*;
#MappedSuperclass
abstract class AbstractDomainObject implements DomainObject {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private UUIDBinaryType id;
private Long version;
#Id
#GeneratedValue(generator = "system-uuid")
#GenericGenerator(name = "system-uuid", strategy = "uuid")
#Column(length = 16, unique = true, nullable = false)
public final UUIDBinaryType getId() {
return id;
}
public final void setId(UUIDBinaryType id) {
this.id = id;
}
#Version
public final Long getVersion() {
return version;
}
public final void setVersion(Long version) {
this.version = version;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (!(o instanceof AbstractDomainObject)) return false;
AbstractDomainObject that = (AbstractDomainObject) o;
return !(id != null ? !id.equals(that.id) : that.id != null) &&
!(version != null ? !version.equals(that.version) : that.version != null);
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
int result = id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0;
result = 31 * result + (version != null ? version.hashCode() : 0);
return result;
}
}
Here is the concrete class which represent the entity:
import javax.persistence.Entity;
#Entity
public class Person extends AbstractDomainObject {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String name;
private String surname;
private Integer identifier;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getSurname() {
return surname;
}
public void setSurname(String surname) {
this.surname = surname;
}
public Integer getIdentifier() {
return identifier;
}
public void setIdentifier(Integer identifier) {
this.identifier = identifier;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (!(o instanceof Person)) return false;
if (!super.equals(o)) return false;
Person test = (Person) o;
return !(name != null ? !name.equals(test.name) : test.name != null) &&
!(surname != null ? !surname.equals(test.surname) : test.surname != null) &&
!(identifier != null ? !identifier.equals(test.identifier) : test.identifier != null);
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
int result = super.hashCode();
result = 31 * result + (name != null ? name.hashCode() : 0);
result = 31 * result + (surname != null ? surname.hashCode() : 0);
result = 31 * result + (identifier != null ? identifier.hashCode() : 0);
return result;
}
}
Here is the interface which I'm using in abstract class:
import org.hibernate.type.UUIDBinaryType;
import java.io.Serializable;
public interface DomainObject extends Serializable {
UUIDBinaryType getId();
void setId(UUIDBinaryType id);
Long getVersion();
void setVersion(Long version);
boolean equals(Object o);
int hashCode();
}
And here is the log from tomcat with debug mode:

There is no error in this log and there is information about schema export was completely, but the table Person isn't created in database. Do I anything in wrong way?

Answer 1

Please try
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
It will update ecisting schema and create the new one of it does not exist.
I'm working with MySQL too and haven't got any problem with that.

Answer 2

I solve this problem, I add tag to my persistence.xml file which contain class name of class which has #Entity annotation. But why I must add class like this way? In spring roo when I generate code, there is no tags in persistence.xml file

Answer 3

I had this problem because I named an entity "Group" which is a reserved word in MySQL (the database I was using: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/reserved-words.html). I had to choose a different name for my entity/table/JSON object. I could see this in the Hibernate Output on startup as follows:
o.h.SQL: drop table if exists Group
o.h.t.h.SchemaExport: HHH000389: Unsuccessful: drop table if exists Group
o.h.t.h.SchemaExport: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group' at line 1
Hibernate was otherwise silent on the problem...I think because reserved words are a bit of a swamp, though the Hibernate driver should pick it up.
Note:
the hibernate output is defined like this:
hibernate.show_sql : true
And the hibernate dialect (which ultimately determines the reserved words is defined like this:
hibernate.dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
