How to enable One to Many with CascadeType PERSIST using Spring Hibernate Framework
3456 Views
Hints 
OneToMany annotation cascadeType enables child records automatically get inserted when the parent record get insert.

Example
@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
@JoinTable(name="STUDENT_ADDRESS",
                joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="STUDENT_ID"),
                inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID"))
Output: SQL
create table Address
(addressId integer not null auto_increment,
city varchar(255),
state varchar(255),
studentInfo_STUDENT_ID integer,
primary key (addressId)) ENGINE=InnoDB;

create table STUDENT_ADDRESS
(STUDENT_ID integer not null,
ADDRESS_ID integer not null,
unique (ADDRESS_ID)) ENGINE=InnoDB;

create table STUDENT_INFO
(STUDENT_ID integer not null auto_increment,
STUDENT_NAME varchar(255),
primary key (STUDENT_ID)) ENGINE=InnoDB;

alter table Address
add index FK1ED033D4FA21989
(studentInfo_STUDENT_ID),
add constraint FK1ED033D4FA21989 foreign key (studentInfo_STUDENT_ID) references STUDENT_INFO (STUDENT_ID);

alter table STUDENT_ADDRESS
add index FK250691B08544B485 (ADDRESS_ID),
add constraint FK250691B08544B485 foreign key (ADDRESS_ID) references Address (addressId);

alter table STUDENT_ADDRESS
add index FK250691B0C4B1E0F3 (STUDENT_ID),
add constraint FK250691B0C4B1E0F3 foreign key (STUDENT_ID) references STUDENT_INFO (STUDENT_ID);
