1. MYBATIS - OVERVIEW

MYBATIS

MyBatis is an open source, lightweight, persistence framework. It is an alternative

to JDBC and Hibernate. It automates the mapping between SQL databases and
objects in Java, .NET, and Ruby on Rails. The mappings are decoupled from the
application logic by packaging the SQL statements in XML configuration files.
It abstracts almost all of the JDBC code, and reduces the burden of setting of
parameters manually and retrieving the results. It provides a simple API to
interact with the database. It also provides support for custom SQL, stored
procedures and advanced mappings.
It was formerly known as IBATIS, which was started by Clinton Begin in 2002.
MyBatis 3 is the latest version. It is a total makeover of IBATIS.
A significant difference between MyBatis and other persistence frameworks is that
MyBatis emphasizes the use of SQL, while other frameworks such as Hibernate
typically uses a custom query language i.e. the Hibernate Query Language (HQL)
or Enterprise JavaBeans Query Language (EJB QL).

MYBATIS Design Features

MYBATIS comes with the following design philosophies:

Simplicity MyBatis is widely regarded as one of the simplest persistence

frameworks available today.
Fast Development MyBatis does all it can to facilitate hyper-fast
development.
Portability MyBatis can be implemented for nearly any language or
platform such as Java, Ruby, and C# for Microsoft .NET.
Independent Interfaces MyBatis provides database-independent
interfaces and APIs that help the rest of the application remain independent
of any persistence-related resources.
Open source MyBatis is free and an open source software.

Advantages of MYBATIS
MYBATIS offers the following advantages:

Supports stored procedures MyBatis encapsulates SQL in the form of

stored procedures so that business logic can be kept out of the database,
and the application is more portable and easier to deploy and test.
Supports inline SQL No pre-compiler is needed, and you can have the
full access to all of the features of SQL.
Supports dynamic SQL MyBatis provides features for dynamic building
SQL queries based on parameters.

MyBatis

Supports O/RM MyBatis supports many of the same features as an

O/RM tool, such as lazy loading, join fetching, caching, runtime code
generation, and inheritance.
Supports

MyBatis uses JAVA programming language while developing database oriented

application. Before proceeding further, make sure that you understand the basics
of procedural and object-oriented programming control structures, data
structures and variables, classes, objects, etc.
To understand JAVA in detail you can go through our JAVA Tutorial.

2. MYBATIS - ENVIRONMENT

MyBatis

You would have to set up a proper environment for MyBatis before starting off
with the actual development work. This chapter explains how to set up a working
environment for MyBatis.

MyBatis Installation
Carry out the following simple steps to install MyBatis on your machine:

Download the latest version of MyBatis from Download MYBATIS.

Download the latest version of mysqlconnector from Download MySQL
Connector.
Unzip the downloaded files to extract .jar files and keep them in appropriate
folders/directory.
Set CLASSPATH variable for the extracted .jar files appropriately.

Database Setup
Create an EMPLOYEE table in any MySQL database using the following syntax:
mysql> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS [Link];
CREATE TABLE

[Link](

ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(10) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( ID )
);

MBatis Eclipse Setup

If you want to develop MyBatis Application using eclipse, carry out the following
steps:

MyBatis

Step 1: Open eclipse and create an enterprise

application project
Step 2: Configure it as maven project
Step 3: Copy the content given below in the

3. MYBATIS - CONFIGURATION XML

In the previous chapter, we have seen how to install MyBatis. This chapter
discusses how to configure MyBatis using XML file.
Since we are communicating with the database, we have to configure the details
of the database. Configuration XML is the file used for the XML-based
configuration. By using this file, you can configure various elements.
The following programing is a typical structure of MyBatis configuration file.
<configuration>

<typeAliases>
<typeAlias alias="class_alias_Name" type="absolute_clas_Name"/>
</typeAliases>

<environments default="default_environment _name">

<environment id="environment_id">
<transactionManager type="JDBC/MANAGED"/>
<dataSource type="UNPOOLED/POOLED/JNDI">
<property name="driver"
value="database_driver_class_name"/>
<property name="url" value="database_url"/>
<property name="username" value="database_user_name"/>
<property name="password" value="database_password"/>
</dataSource>
</environment>
</environments>

<mappers>
<mapper resource="path of the configuration XML file"/>
</mappers>

</configuration>

MyBatis

Let us discuss the important elements (tags) of the configuration XML file one by
one.

environments tag
Within the environments element, we configure the environment of the database
that we use in our application. In MyBatis, you can connect to multiple databases
by configuring multiple environment elements. To configure the environment, we
are provided with two sub tags namely transactionManager and dataSource.

transactionManager tag
MyBatis supports two transaction managers namely JDBC and MANAGED

If we use the transaction manager of type JDBC, the application is

responsible for the transaction management operations, such as, commit,
roll-back, etc...
If we use the transaction manager of type MANAGED, the application
server is responsible to manage the connection life cycle. It is generally
used with the WebApplications.

dataSource tag
It is used to configure the connection properties of the database, such as drivername, url, user-name, and password of the database that we want to connect. It
is of three types namely:

UNPOOLED: For the dataSource type UNPOOLED, MyBatis simply opens

and closes a connection for every database operation. It is a bit slower and
generally used for the simple applications.
POOLED: For the dataSource type POOLED, MyBatis will maintain a
database connection pool. And, for every database operation, MyBatis uses
one of these connections, and returns them to the pool after the completion
of the operation. It reduces the initial connection and authentication time
that required to create a new connection.
JNDI: For the dataSource type JNDI, MyBatis will get the connection from
the JNDI dataSource.
Here is how you can use an environment tag in practice:
<environments default="development">
<environment id="development">
<transactionManager type="JDBC"/>
<dataSource type="POOLED">
<property name="driver" value="[Link]"/>
<property name="url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/details"/>
7

MyBatis

<property name="username" value="root"/>

<property name="password" value="password"/>
</dataSource>
</environment>
</environments>

typeAliases tag
Instead of specifying the absolute class name everywhere, we can use typeAliases,
a shorter name for a Java type. Suppose, we have a class Student in [Link]
file within the package named tutorials_point.com.mybatis_examples, then the
absolute
class
name
will
be
tutorials_point.com.mybatis_examples.Student. Instead of using this name to
address the class every time, you can declare an alias to that class as shown
below:
<typeAliases>
<typeAlias alias="Student" type="[Link]"/>
</typeAliases>

mappers tag
Mapper XML file is the important file, which contains the mapped SQL statements.
Mappers element is used to configure the location of these mappers xml files in
the configuration file of MyBatis (this element contains four attributes namely
resources, url, class, and name).
For example, the name of the mapper xml file is [Link] and it resides in
the package named as mybatis, then you can configure the mapper tag as shown
below.
<mappers>
<mapper resource="mybatis/[Link]"/>
</mappers>

The attribute resource points to the classpath of the XML file.

The attribute url points to the fully qualified path of the xml file.
We can use mapper interfaces instead of xml file, the attribute class points
to the class-path of the mapper interface.
The attribute name points to the package name of the mapper interface. In
the example provided in this chapter, we have specified the class path of
the mapper XML using the resource attribute.
8

MyBatis

In addition to these, there are other elements that can be used in the configuration
file of MyBatis documentation. Refer MyBatis documentation for the complete
details.

MyBatis with MySQL database

MySQL is one of the most popular open-source database systems available today.
Let us create a [Link] configuration file to connect to mysql
database. The example given below are the dataSource properties (driver-name,
url, user-name, and password) for MySQL database:
[Link].

Property
Name

Value

driver

[Link]

url

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/details (assume database

is "details" )

username

root

password

password

We use the transaction manager of type JDBC, means we have to perform the
operations, such as commit and roll-back manually, within the application.
We use the dataSource of type UNPOOLED, which means new connection is
created for each database operation. Therefore, it is recommended to close the
connection manually after the completion of database operations.

[Link]
Below given is the XML configuration for the examples used in this tutorial. Copy
the content given below in a text file and save it as [Link]. We are
going to use this file in all the examples given in this tutorial.
<configuration>

<environments default="development">
<environment id="development">
<transactionManager type="JDBC"/>
<dataSource type="POOLED">
<property name="driver" value="[Link]"/>

MyBatis

<property name="url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/details"/>
<property name="username" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="password"/>
</dataSource>
</environment>
</environments>

<mappers>
<mapper resource="mybatis/[Link]"/>
</mappers>

</configuration>

MyBatis

4. MYBATIS - MAPPER XML

In the previous chapter, we have seen how to configure MyBatis using an XML file.
This chapter discusses the Mapper XML file and various mapped SQL statements
provided by it.
Before proceeding to mapped statements, assume that the following table
named Student exists in the MYSQL database
+----+-------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------+
| ID |

NAME | BRANCH | PERCENTAGE |

PHONE

EMAIL

+----+-------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------+
|

1 | Shyam |

it

80

| 954788457 | mail@[Link] |

+----+-------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------+
Also assume that the POJO class also exists named Student with respect to the
above table as shown below
public class Student {
private int id;
private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
private String email;

//Setters and getters

}

Mapped Statements
Mapper XML is an important file in MyBatis, which contains a set of statements to
configure various SQL statements such as select, insert, update, and delete. These
statements are known as Mapped Statements or Mapped SQL Statements.

All the statements have unique id. To execute any of these statements you
just need to pass the appropriate id to the methods in Java Application (this
is discussed clearly in later chapters).

11

MyBatis

mapper XML file prevents the burden of writing SQL statements repeatedly
in the application. In comparison to JDBC, almost 95% of the code is
reduced using Mapper XML file in MyBatis.

All these Mapped SQL statements are resided within the element
named<mapper>.
This
element
contains
an
attribute
called namespace.

<mapper namespace = "Student">[Link] Fi;

//mapped statements and result maps
<mapper>
All the Mapped SQL statements are discussed below with examples.

Insert
In MyBatis, to insert values into the table, we have to configure the insert mapped
query. MyBatis provides various attributes for insert mapper, but largely we use
id and parameter type.
id is unique identifier used to identify the insert statement. On the other hand,
parametertype is the class name or the alias of the parameter that will be passed
into the statement. Below given is an example of insert mapped query
<insert id = "insert" parameterType = "Student">
INSERT INTO STUDENT1 (NAME, BRANCH, PERCENTAGE, PHONE, EMAIL )
VALUES (#{name}, #{branch}, #{percentage}, #{phone}, #{email});
</insert>
In the given example, we use the parameter of type Student (class). The class
student is a POJO class, which represents the Student record with name, branch,
percentage, phone, and email as parameters.
You can invoke the insert mapped query using Java API as shown below
//Assume session is an SqlSession object.
[Link]("[Link]", student);

Update
To update the values of an existing record using MyBatis, the mapped query
update is configured. The attributes of update mapped query are same as the
insert mapped query. Following is the example of the update mapped query

12

MyBatis

<update id = "update" parameterType = "Student">

UPDATE STUDENT SET EMAIL = #{email}, NAME = #{name}, BRANCH =
#{branch}, PERCENTAGE = #{percentage}, PHONE = #{phone} WHERE ID =
#{id};
</update>
To invoke the update query, instantiate Student class, set the values for the
variables representing columns which need to be updated, and pass this object as
parameter to update() method. You can invoke the update mapped query using
Java API as shown below
//Assume session is an SqlSession object.
[Link]("[Link]",student);

Delete
To delete the values of an existing record using MyBatis, the mapped query delete
is configured. The attributes of delete mapped query are same as the insert and
update mapped queries. Following is the example of the delete mapped query
<delete id = "deleteById" parameterType = "int">
DELETE from STUDENT WHERE ID = #{id};
</delete>
You

can

invoke

the

delete

mapped

query

using

the

delete

method

of SqlSession interface provided by MyBatis Java API as shown below

//Assume session is an SqlSession object.
[Link]("[Link]", 18);

Select
To retrieve data, select mapper statement is used. Following is the example of
select mapped query to retrieve all the records in a table
<select id = "getAll" resultMap = "result">
SELECT * FROM STUDENT;
</select>
You

can

retrieve

the

data

returned

by

the

select

query

using

the

method selectList(). This method returns the data of the selected record in the
form of List as shown below
13

MyBatis

List<Student> list = [Link]("[Link]");

resultMaps
It is the most important and powerful elements in MyBatis. The results of SQL
SELECT statements are mapped to Java objects (beans/POJO). Once the result
map is defined, we can refer these from several SELECT statements. Following is
the example of result Map query; it maps the results of the select queries to the
Student class
<resultMap id = "result" type = "Student">
<result property = "id" column = "ID"/>
<result property = "name" column = "NAME"/>
<result property = "branch" column = "BRANCH"/>
<result property = "percentage" column="PERCENTAGE"/>
<result property = "phone" column = "PHONE"/>
<result property = "email" column = "EMAIL"/>
</resultMap>

<select id = "getAll" resultMap = "result">

SELECT * FROM STUDENT;
</select>

<select id = "getById" parameterType = "int" resultMap = "result">

SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE ID = #{id};
</select>
Note It is not mandatory to write the column attribute of the resultMap if both
the property and the column name of the table are same.

14

5. MYBATIS - CREATE OPERATION

MyBatis

To perform any Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operation using
MyBatis, you would need to create a Plain Old Java Objects (POJO) class
corresponding to the table. This class describes the objects that will "model"
database table rows.
The POJO class would have implementation for all the methods required to perform
desired operations.
Create the STUDENT table in MySQL database as shown below:
mysql> CREATE TABLE [Link](
->

ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

->

NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,

->

BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,

->

PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,

->

PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,

->

EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,

->

PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)

-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.37 sec)

Student POJO Class

Create a STUDENT class in [Link] file as
public class Student {
private int id;
private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
private String email;

public Student(String name,

phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage, int

super();
15

MyBatis

[Link] = name;
[Link] = branch;
[Link] = percentage;
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

}
You can define methods to set individual fields in the table. The next chapter
explains how to get the values of individual fields.

[Link] File
To define SQL mapping statement using MyBatis, we would use <insert> tag.
Inside this tag definition, we would define an "id." Further, the id will be used in
the [Link] file for executing SQL INSERT query on database. Create
[Link] file as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
"[Link]

<mapper namespace="Student">

<insert id="insert" parameterType="Student">

INSERT INTO STUDENT (NAME, BRANCH, PERCENTAGE, PHONE, EMAIL ) VALUES
(#{name}, #{branch}, #{percentage}, #{phone}, #{email});
<selectKey keyProperty="id" resultType="int" order="AFTER">
select last_insert_id() as id
</selectKey>
</insert>

</mapper>
Here, parameteType could take a value as string, int, float, double, or any
class object based on requirement. In this example, we would pass Student object
as a parameter, while calling insert method of SqlSession class.
If your database table uses an IDENTITY, AUTO_INCREMENT, or SERIAL column,
or you have defined a SEQUENCE/GENERATOR, you can use the <selectKey>
16

MyBatis

element in an <insert> statement to use or return that database-generated

value.

[Link] File
This file would have application level logic to insert records in the Student table.
Create and save [Link] file as shown below:
import [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class mybatisInsert {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();

//Create a new student object

Student student =new Student("Mohammad","It", 80, 984803322,
"Mohammad@[Link]" );

//Insert student data

[Link]("[Link]", student);
[Link]("record inserted successfully");
[Link]();
[Link]();

}
}
17

MyBatis

Compilation and Execution

Here are the steps to compile and run the [Link] file. Make sure, you
have set PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately before proceeding for compilation
and execution.

Create [Link] as shown above.

Create

[Link] as

shown

in

the MYBATIS - Configuration

XML chapter of this tutorial.

Create [Link] as shown above and compile it.

Create [Link] as shown above and compile it.

Execute mybatisInsert binary to run the program.

You would get the following result, and a record would be created in the STUDENT
table.
$java mybatisInsert
Record Inserted Successfully
If you check the STUDENT table, it should display the following result
mysql> select * from student;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
| ID | NAME

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
|

1 | Mohammad | It

80 | 984803322 | Mohammad@[Link] |

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

18

6. MYBATIS READ OPERATION

MyBatis

We discussed in the last chapter, how to insert values into the STUDENT table
using MyBatis by performing CREATE operation. This chapter explains how to read
the data in a table using MyBatis.
We have the following STUDENT table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Assume, this table has two record as:
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
| ID | NAME

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
|

1 | Mohammad | It

80 | 984803322 | Mohammad@[Link] |

2 | shyam

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

| It

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+

Student POJO Class

To perform read operation, we would modify the Student class in [Link] as:

public class Student {

private int id;
private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
19

MyBatis

private String email;

public Student(int id, String name,

int phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage,

super();
[Link] = id;
[Link] = name;
[Link] = branch;
[Link] = percentage;
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

public Student() {}

public int getId() {

return id;
}

public String getName() {

return name;
}

public int getPhone() {

return phone;
}

public String getEmail() {

return email;
}

public String getBranch() {

return branch;
}
20

MyBatis

public int getPercentage() {

return percentage;
}

[Link] File
To define SQL mapping statement using MyBatis, we would add <select> tag in
[Link] file and inside this tag definition, we would define an "id" which will
be used in [Link] file for executing SQL SELECT query on database.
While reading the records, we can get all the records at once or we can get a
particular record using the where clause. In the XML given below, you can observe
both the queries.
To retrieve a particular record, we need a unique key to represent that record.
Therefore, we have also defined the resultmap "id" (unique key) of type Student
to map the result of the select query with the variable of Student class.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
"[Link]

<mapper namespace="Student">

<resultMap id="result" type="Student">

<result property="id" column="ID"/>
</resultMap>

7. MYBATIS - UPDATE OPERATION

We discussed, in the last chapter, how to perform READ operation on a table using
MyBatis. This chapter explains how you can update records in a table using it.
We have the following STUDENT table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Assume this table has two record as follows:
mysql> select * from STUDENT;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
| ID | NAME

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
|

1 | Mohammad | It

80 | 984803322 | Mohammad@[Link] |

2 | shyam

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

| It

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+

Student POJO Class

To perform update operation, you would need to modify [Link] file as:
public class Student {

private int id;

private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
26

MyBatis

private int phone;

private String email;

public Student(int id, String name,

int phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage,

super();
[Link] = id;
[Link] = name;
[Link](branch);
[Link](percentage);
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

public Student() {}

public int getId() {

return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {

[Link] = id;
}

public String getName() {

return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {

[Link] = name;
}

public int getPhone() {

return phone;
}
27

MyBatis

public void setPhone(int phone) {

[Link] = phone;
}

public String getEmail() {

return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {

[Link] = email;
}

public String getBranch() {

return branch;
}

public void setBranch(String branch) {

[Link] = branch;
}

public int getPercentage() {

return percentage;
}

public void setPercentage(int percentage) {

[Link] = percentage;
}

public String toString(){

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
[Link]("Id = ").append(id).append(" - ");
[Link]("Name = ").append(name).append(" - ");
[Link]("Branch = ").append(branch).append(" - ");
28

MyBatis

[Link]("Percentage = ").append(percentage).append(" - ");

[Link]("Phone = ").append(phone).append(" - ");
[Link]("Email = ").append(email);
return [Link]();
}

[Link] File
To define SQL mapping statement using MyBatis, we would add <update> tag in
[Link] and inside this tag definition, we would define an "id" which will be
used in [Link] file for executing SQL UPDATE query on database.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper
PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
"[Link]

<mapper namespace="Student">
<resultMap id="result" type="Student">
<result property="id" column="ID"/>
<result property="name" column="NAME"/>
<result property="branch" column="BRANCH"/>
<result property="percentage" column="PERCENTAGE"/>
<result property="phone" column="PHONE"/>
<result property="email" column="EMAIL"/>
</resultMap>

<select id="getById" parameterType="int" resultMap="result">

SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE ID = #{id};
</select>

<update id="update" parameterType="Student">

UPDATE STUDENT SET NAME = #{name},
BRANCH = #{branch},
29

MyBatis

PERCENTAGE = #{percentage},
PHONE = #{phone},
EMAIL = #{email}
WHERE ID = #{id};
</update>

</mapper>

[Link] File
This file has application level logic to update records into the Student table:
import [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class mybatisUpdate {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();

//select a particular student using id

Student student = (Student) [Link]("[Link]",
1);
[Link]("Current details of the student are" );
[Link]([Link]());

//Set new values to the mail and phone number of the student
30

MyBatis

[Link]("mohamad123@[Link]");
[Link](90000000);

//Update the student record

[Link]("[Link]",student);
[Link]("Record updated successfully");
[Link]();
[Link]();

//verifying the record

Student std = (Student) [Link]("[Link]", 1);
[Link]("Details of the student after update operation"
);
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]();
[Link]();

}
}

Compilation and Run

Here are the steps to compile and run [Link]. Make sure, you have
set PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately before proceeding for compilation and
execution.

Create [Link] as shown above.

Create [Link] as shown in the MYBATIS - Configuration
XML chapter of this tutorial.
Create [Link] as shown above and compile it.
Create [Link] as shown above and compile it.
Execute mybatisUpdate binary to run the program.
You would get following result. You can see the details of a particular record
initially, and that record would be updated in STUDENT table and later, you can
also see the updated record.
Current details of the student are
Id = 1 - Name = Mohammad - Branch = It - Percentage = 80 - Phone =
984802233 - Email = mohammad@[Link]
Record updated successfully
31

MyBatis

Details of the student after update operation

Id = 1 - Name = Mohammad - Branch = It - Percentage = 80 - Phone =
90000000 - Email = mohamad123@[Link]
If you check the STUDENT table, it should display the following result:
mysql> select * from student;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| ID | NAME
|

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+

8. MYBATIS - DELETE OPERATION

MyBatis

This chapter describes how to delete records from a table using MyBatis.
We have the following STUDENT table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Assume, this table has two records as:
mysql> select * from STUDENT;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| ID | NAME
|

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+

|

2 | shyam

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

| It

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

STUDENT POJO Class

To perform delete operation, you do not need to modify [Link] file. Let us
keep it as it was in the last chapter.

To define SQL mapping statement using MyBatis, we would use <delete> tag in
[Link] and inside this tag definition, we would define an "id" which will be
used in [Link] file for executing SQL DELETE query on database.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"

9. MYBATIS - ANNOTATIONS

MyBatis

In the previous chapters, we have seen how to perform curd operations using
MyBatis. There we used a Mapper XML file to store mapped SQL statements and
a configuration XML file to configure MyBatis.
To map SQL statements, MyBatis also provides annotations. So, this chapter
discusses how to use MyBatis annotations.
While working with annotations, instead of configuration XML file, we can use a
java mapper interface to map and execute SQL queries.
Assume, we have the following employee table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.37 sec)
Assume, this table has two records as:
mysql> select * from STUDENT;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
| ID | NAME

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+
|

1 | Mohammad | It

80 | 984803322 | Mohammad@[Link] |

2 | Shyam

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

| It

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+--------------------+

Student POJO Class

The POJO class would have implementation for all the methods required to perform
desired operations.
39

MyBatis

Create a Student class in [Link] file as:

public class Student {

private int id;
private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
private String email;

public Student(int id, String name,

int phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage,

super();
[Link] = id;
[Link] = name;
[Link]=branch;
[Link]=percentage;
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

public Student() {}

public int getId() {

return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {

[Link] = id;
}

public String getName() {

return name;
}
40

MyBatis

public void setName(String name) {

[Link] = name;
}

public int getPhone() {

return phone;
}

public void setPhone(int phone) {

[Link] = phone;
}

public String getEmail() {

return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {

[Link] = email;
}

public String getBranch() {

return branch;
}

public void setBranch(String branch) {

[Link] = branch;
}

public int getPercentage() {

return percentage;
}

public void setPercentage(int percentage) {

41

MyBatis

[Link] = percentage;
}

Student_mapper.java
This is the file, which contains the mapper interface where we declare the mapped
statements using annotations instead of XML tags. For almost all of the XML-based
mapper elements, MyBatis provides annotations. The following file named
Student_mapper.java, contains a mapper interface. Within this file, you can see
the annotations to perform CURD operations on the STUDENT table.
import [Link];

import [Link].*;

public interface Student_mapper {

final String getAll = "SELECT * FROM STUDENT";

final String getById = "SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE ID = #{id}";
final String deleteById = "DELETE from STUDENT WHERE ID = #{id}";
final String insert = "INSERT INTO STUDENT (NAME, BRANCH, PERCENTAGE,
PHONE, EMAIL ) VALUES (#{name}, #{branch}, #{percentage}, #{phone},
#{email})";
final String update = "UPDATE STUDENT SET EMAIL = #{email}, NAME =
#{name}, BRANCH = #{branch}, PERCENTAGE = #{percentage}, PHONE =
#{phone} WHERE ID = #{id}";

@Select(getAll)
@Results(value = {
@Result(property="id", column="ID"),
@Result(property="name", column="NAME"),
@Result(property="branch", column="BRANCH"),
@Result(property="percentage", column="PERCENTAGE"),
@Result(property="phone", column="PHONE"),
@Result(property="email", column="EMAIL")
})
42

MyBatis

List getAll();

@Select(getById)
@Results(value = {
@Result(property="id", column="ID"),
@Result(property="name", column="NAME"),
@Result(property="branch", column="BRANCH"),
@Result(property="percentage", column="PERCENTAGE"),
@Result(property="phone", column="PHONE"),
@Result(property="email", column="EMAIL")
})
Student getById(int id);

@Update(update)
void update(Student student);

@Delete(deleteById)
void delete(int id);

@Insert(insert)
@Options(useGeneratedKeys = true, keyProperty = "id")
void insert(Student student);
}

Annotations_Example.java File
This file would have application level logic to insert records in the Student table.
Create and save [Link] file as shown below:
import [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
43

MyBatis

public class Annotations_Example {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();
[Link]().addMapper(Student_mapper.class);

Student_mapper mapper = [Link](Student_mapper.class);

//Create a new student object

Student student =new Student();

//Set the values

[Link]("zara");
[Link]("EEE");
[Link]("zara@[Link]");
[Link](90));
[Link](123412341);

//Insert student data

[Link](student);
[Link]("record inserted successfully");
[Link]();
[Link]();

44

MyBatis

Compilation and Execution

Here are the steps to compile and run the Annotations_Example.java file. Make
sure, you have set PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately before proceeding for
compilation and execution.

Create Student_mapper.java file as shown above and compile it.

Create [Link] as shown in the MYBATIS - Configuration
XML chapter of this tutorial.
Create [Link] as shown above and compile it.
Create Annotations_Example.java as shown above and compile it.
Execute Annotations_Example binary to run the program.
You would get the following result, and a record would be created in the STUDENT
table.
$java Annotations_Example
Record Inserted Successfully
If you check the STUDENT table, it should display the following result:
mysql> select * from student;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| ID | NAME
|

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
3 rows in set (0.08 sec)
In the same way, we can perform update, delete, and read operations using
annotations by replacing the content of Annotations_Example.java with the
respective snippets mentioned below:

45

MyBatis

Update
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();
[Link]().addMapper(Student_mapper.class);
Student_mapper mapper = [Link](Student_mapper.class);

//select a particular student using id

Student student= [Link](2);
[Link]("Current details of the student are
"+[Link]());

//Set new values to the mail and phone number of the student
[Link]("Shyam123@[Link]");
[Link](984802233);

//Update the student record

[Link](student);
[Link]("Record updated successfully");
[Link]();
[Link]();

Read
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();
[Link]().addMapper(Student_mapper.class);
46

MyBatis

Student_mapper mapper = [Link](Student_mapper.class);

//Get the student details

Student student= [Link](2);
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]([Link]());
[Link]();
[Link]();

Delete
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");

SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();
[Link]().addMapper(Student_mapper.class);

Student_mapper mapper = [Link](Student_mapper.class);

[Link](2);
[Link]("record deleted successfully");
[Link]();
[Link]();

47

MyBatis

10. MYBATIS - STORED PROCEDURES

You can call a stored procedure using MyBatis. First of all, let us understand how
to create a stored procedure in MySQL.
We have the following EMPLOYEE table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Let us create the following stored procedure in MySQL database:
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS details.read_recordById //
CREATE PROCEDURE details.read_recordById (IN emp_id INT)
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE ID = emp_id;
END//
DELIMITER ;
Assume the table named STUDENT has two records as:
mysql> select * from STUDENT;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| ID | NAME
|

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | Mohammad | It
mohamad123@[Link] |

80 |

900000000 |

48

MyBatis

2 | Shyam

| It

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

STUDENT POJO Class

To use stored procedure, you do not need to modify the [Link] file. Let us
keep it as it was in the last chapter.
public class Student {

private int id;

private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
private String email;

public Student(int id, String name,

int phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage,

super();
[Link] = id;
[Link] = name;
[Link](branch);
[Link](percentage);
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

public Student() {}

public int getId() {

return id;
}
49

MyBatis

public void setId(int id) {

[Link] = id;
}

public String getName() {

return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {

[Link] = name;
}

public int getPhone() {

return phone;
}

public void setPhone(int phone) {

[Link] = phone;
}

public String getEmail() {

return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {

[Link] = email;
}

public String getBranch() {

return branch;
}

public void setBranch(String branch) {

[Link] = branch;
50

MyBatis

public int getPercentage() {

return percentage;
}

public void setPercentage(int percentage) {

[Link] = percentage;
}

public String toString(){

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
[Link]("Id = ").append(id).append(" - ");
[Link]("Name = ").append(name).append(" - ");
[Link]("Branch = ").append(branch).append(" - ");
[Link]("Percentage = ").append(percentage).append(" - ");
[Link]("Phone = ").append(phone).append(" - ");
[Link]("Email = ").append(email);
return [Link]();
}

[Link] File
Unlike IBATIS, there is no <procedure> tag in MyBatis. To map the results of
the procedures, we have created a resultmap named Student and to call the stored
procedure named read_recordById. We have defined a select tag with id callById,
and we use the same id in the application to call the procedure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
"[Link]

<mapper namespace="Student">

<resultMap id="result" type="Student">

<result property="percentage" column="PERCENTAGE"/>
<result property="phone" column="PHONE"/>

11. MYBATIS - DYNAMIC SQL

MyBatis

Dynamic SQL is a very powerful feature of MyBatis. It enables programmers to

build queries based on the scenario dynamically. For example, if you want to
search the Student data base, based on the name of the student in MyBatis, you
have to write the query using the dynamic SQL.
MyBatis uses a powerful Dynamic SQL language that can be used within any
mapped SQL statement. Following are the OGNL based Dynamic SQL expressions
provided by MYBATIS.

if
choose (when, otherwise)
trim (where, set)
foreach

The if Statement
The most common thing to do in dynamic SQL is conditionally include a part of a
where clause. For example:
<select id="getRecByName" parameterType="Student" resultType="Student">

SELECT * FROM STUDENT

<if test="name != null">
WHERE name LIKE #{name}
</if>
</select>
This statement provides an optional text search type of functionality. If you pass
in no name, then all active records will be returned. But if you do pass in a name,
it will look for a name with the given like condition.
You can include multiple if conditions as:

<select id="getRecByName_Id" parameterType="Student"

resultType="Student">
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
<if test="name != null">
WHERE name LIKE #{name}
</if>
55

MyBatis

<if test="id != null">

AND id LIKE #{id}
</if>
</select>

The choose, when, and otherwise Statements

MyBatis offers a choose element, which is similar to Java's switch statement. It
helps to choose only one case among many options.
The following example will search only by name if it is provided, and if the name
is not given, then only by id:
<select id="getRecByName_Id_phone" parameterType="Student"
resultType="Student">
SELECT * FROM Student WHERE id != 0
<choose>
<when test="name != null">
AND name LIKE #{name}
</when>

<when test="id != null">

AND phone LIKE #{id}
</when>

</choose>
</select>

The where Statement

Take a look at our previous examples to see what happens if none of the conditions
are met. You would end up with an SQL that looks like this:

SELECT * FROM Student

56

MyBatis

WHERE
This would fail, but MyBatis has a simple solution with one simple change,
everything works fine:
<select id="getName_Id_phone" parameterType="Student"
resultType="Student">
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
<where>
<if test="id != null">
id = #{id}
</if>

<if test="name != null">

AND name LIKE #{name}
</if>
</where>
</select>
The where element inserts a WHERE only when the containing tags return any
content. Furthermore, if that content begins with AND or OR, it knows to strip it
off.

The foreach Statement

The foreach element allows you to specify a collection and declare item and index
variables that can be used inside the body of the element.
It also allows you to specify opening and closing strings, and add a separator to
place in between iterations. You can build an IN condition as follows
<select id="selectPostIn" resultType="[Link]">
SELECT *
FROM POST P
WHERE ID in

<foreach item="item" index="index" collection="list"

open="(" separator="," close=")">
#{item}
</foreach>
57

MyBatis

</select>

Dynamic SQL Example

This is an example if using dynamic SQL. Consider, we have the following Student
table in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE [Link](
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
BRANCH varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PERCENTAGE int(3) NOT NULL,
PHONE int(11) NOT NULL,
EMAIL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.37 sec)
Lets assume this table has two records as:
mysql> select * from student;
+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
| ID | NAME
|

| BRANCH | PERCENTAGE | PHONE

| EMAIL

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
|
|

1 | Mohammad | It

80 | 900000000 | mohamad123@[Link]

|
|

2 | Shyam

75 | 984800000 | shyam@[Link]

| It

+----+----------+--------+------------+-----------+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Student POJO Class

To perform read operation, let us have a Student class in [Link] as:
58

MyBatis

public class Student {

private int id;
private String name;
private String branch;
private int percentage;
private int phone;
private String email;

public Student(int id, String name,

int phone, String email) {

String branch, int percentage,

super();
[Link] = id;
[Link] = name;
[Link]=branch;
[Link]=percentage;
[Link] = phone;
[Link] = email;
}

public Student() {}

public int getId() {

return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {

[Link] = id;
}

public String getName() {

return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {

[Link] = name;
59

MyBatis

public int getPhone() {

return phone;
}

public void setPhone(int phone) {

[Link] = phone;
}

public String getEmail() {

return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {

[Link] = email;
}

public String getBranch() {

return branch;
}

public void setBranch(String branch) {

[Link] = branch;
}

public int getPercentage() {

return percentage;
}

public void setPercentage(int percentage) {

[Link] = percentage;
}

60

MyBatis

[Link] File
This file contains the result map named Student, to map the results of the SELECT
Query. We will define an "id" which will be used in [Link] for executing
Dynamic SQL SELECT query on database.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper
PUBLIC "-//[Link]//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
"[Link]

<mapper namespace="Student">

<resultMap id="result" type="Student">

<result property="id" column="ID"/>
<result property="name" column="NAME"/>
<result property="branch" column="BRANCH"/>
<result property="percentage" column="PERCENTAGE"/>
<result property="phone" column="PHONE"/>
<result property="email" column="EMAIL"/>
</resultMap>

<select id="getRecByName" parameterType="Student"

resultType="Student">
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
<if test="name != null">
WHERE name LIKE #{name}
</if>
</select>
</mapper>

[Link] File
This file has application level logic to read conditional records from the Student
table:
61

MyBatis

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class GetRecordByName {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

String req_name="Mohammad";
Reader reader = [Link]("[Link]");
SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory = new
SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(reader);
SqlSession session = [Link]();
Student stud=new Student();
[Link](req_name);

//select contact all contacts

//List student = [Link]("getRecByName",stud);

[Link](1);
List student = [Link]("getRecByName_Id",stud);

for(Student st : student ){

[Link]("++++++++++++++details of the student named

Mohammad are "+"+++++++++++++++++++" );
[Link]("Id :

"+[Link]());

[Link]("Name :

62

MyBatis

[Link]("Email :

[Link]("Records Read Successfully ");

[Link]();
[Link]();
}
}

12. MYBATIS - HIBERNATE

MyBatis

There are major differences between MyBatis and Hibernate. Both the
technologies work well, given their specific domain. MyBatis is suggested in case:
You want to create your own SQL's and you are willing to maintain them.
Your environment is driven by relational data model.
You have to work on existing and complex schemas.
Use Hibernate, if the environment is driven by object model and needs to generate
SQL automatically.

Difference between MyBatis and Hibernate

Both Hibernate and MyBatis are open source Object Relational Mapping (ORM)
tools available in the industry. Use of each of these tools depends on the context
you are using them.
The following table highlights the differences between MyBatis and Hibernate
MyBatis

Hibernate

It is simpler. It comes in a much smaller

package size.

Hibernate generates SQL for you,

which means you dont have to
spend time on generating SQL.

It is flexible, offers faster development

time.

It is highly scalable, provides a

much more advanced cache.

It uses SQL, which could be database

dependent.

It uses HQL, which is relatively

independent of databases. It is
easier to change db into Hibernate.

It maps the ResultSet from JDBC API to

your POJO Objects, so you dont have to
care about table structures.

Hibernate maps your Java POJO

objects to the Database tables.

It is quite easy to use stored procedure

in MyBatis.

Use of stored procedures is a little

difficult in Hibernate.

Hibernate and MyBatis both are compatible with the SPRING framework, so it
should not be a problem to choose one of them.
