Hibernate 6: work with byte arrays

Hibernate maps byte[] and Byte[] values to the JDBC VARBINARY type by default.

 

Can I specify the byte array length?

We can set the maximum length of this byte array using length attribute of the Column annotation.

 

By any chance,  if the maximum length specified by you is too big to fit into the largest VARBINARY column supported by underlying database, Hibernate will automatically upgrade the column type to IMAGE, BLOB, or whatever is the equivalent type for your database.

 

Example

// mapped to 'arr1 varbinary(255)'
private byte[] arr1;

// mapped to 'arr2 varbinary(30)'
@Column(length = 30)
private byte[] arr2;

// mapped to 'arr3 varbinary(32600)'
@Column(length = Length.LONG)
private byte[] arr3;

Find the below working application.

 

Step 1: Create new maven project ‘hibernate-byte-array-demo’.

 

Step 2: Update pom.xml with maven dependencies.

 

pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.sample.app</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-byte-array-demo</artifactId>
    <version>1</version>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

        <java.version>15</java.version>
        <maven.compiler.source>${java.version}</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>${java.version}</maven.compiler.target>

    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
            <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.214</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>6.1.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.persistence-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>
        </dependency>


    </dependencies>
</project>

Step 3: Define entity class.

 

Demo.java

package com.sample.app.entity;

import org.hibernate.Length;

import jakarta.persistence.Column;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "demo")
public class Demo {
    @Id
    private int id;

    // mapped to 'arr1 varbinary(255)'
    private byte[] arr1;

    // mapped to 'arr2 varbinary(30)'
    @Column(length = 30)
    private byte[] arr2;

    // mapped to 'arr3 varbinary(32600)'
    @Column(length = Length.LONG)
    private byte[] arr3;

    public Demo(int id, byte[] arr1, byte[] arr2, byte[] arr3) {
        this.id = id;
        this.arr1 = arr1;
        this.arr2 = arr2;
        this.arr3 = arr3;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public byte[] getArr1() {
        return arr1;
    }

    public void setArr1(byte[] arr1) {
        this.arr1 = arr1;
    }

    public byte[] getArr2() {
        return arr2;
    }

    public void setArr2(byte[] arr2) {
        this.arr2 = arr2;
    }

    public byte[] getArr3() {
        return arr3;
    }

    public void setArr3(byte[] arr3) {
        this.arr3 = arr3;
    }

}

Step 4: Create hibernate.cfg.xml file under src/main/resources folder.

 

hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory>
        <!-- JDBC Database connection settings -->
        <property name="connection.driver_class">org.h2.Driver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:h2:mem:test</property>
        <property name="connection.username">admin</property>
        <property name="connection.password">admin</property>
        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

        <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect</property>
        <!-- Echo the SQL to stdout -->
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>
        <property name="format_sql">true</property>
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
        <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>
        
        <!-- dbcp connection pool configuration -->
        <property name="hibernate.dbcp.initialSize">2</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dbcp.maxTotal">10</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dbcp.maxIdle">5</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dbcp.minIdle">3</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dbcp.maxWaitMillis">-1</property>

        <!-- mappings for annotated classes -->
        <mapping class="com.sample.app.entity.Demo" />

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

Step 5: Define main application class.

 

App.java

package com.sample.app;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.Metadata;
import org.hibernate.boot.MetadataSources;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistry;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;

import com.sample.app.entity.Demo;

import jakarta.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder;
import jakarta.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery;

public class App {
    private static final SessionFactory SESSION_FACTORY = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {

            final StandardServiceRegistry standardRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
                    .configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").build();

            final Metadata metaData = new MetadataSources(standardRegistry).getMetadataBuilder().build();

            return metaData.getSessionFactoryBuilder().build();

        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }

    }

    private static <T> List<T> loadAllData(Class<T> clazz, Session session) {
        final CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
        final CriteriaQuery<T> criteria = builder.createQuery(clazz);
        criteria.from(clazz);
        return session.createQuery(criteria).getResultList();
    }

    public static void main(final String args[]) throws IOException, SQLException {
        String msg = "Hello World";
        byte[] data = msg.getBytes();

        Demo e1 = new Demo(1, data, data, data);

        try (final Session session = SESSION_FACTORY.openSession()) {
            session.beginTransaction();

            session.persist(e1);

            session.flush();
            session.getTransaction().commit();

            List<Demo> records = loadAllData(Demo.class, session);

            for (Demo record : records) {
                int id = record.getId();
                System.out.println("id : " + id);

                byte[] arr1 = record.getArr1();
                byte[] arr2 = record.getArr2();
                byte[] arr3 = record.getArr3();
                
                System.out.println("arr1 : " + new String(arr1));
                System.out.println("arr2 : " + new String(arr2));
                System.out.println("arr3 : " + new String(arr3));
            }
        }

    }
}

Total project structure looks like below.




Run App.java, you will see below messages in the console.
