Simple code to connect to database using hibernate (annotations) and maven

In this paper we will try to write a mavenized java application that will connect to an Oracle database and perform some data manipulation.

First of all, why maven ?
If you have the right jar dependencies whithout maven that's great ! no need to use maven... Personally i've faced a big problem to download and put the correct dependencies (no only packages but versions also!) together into my project.

Then let's talk maven !

1- Create the application with maven


Run this command line :

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.itillusion.migrators -DartifactId=loader -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false


2- Add dependencies to POM

1

<dependency>
    <groupid>org.hibernate</groupid>
    <artifactid>hibernate-core</artifactid>
    <version>5.2.11.Final</version>
</dependency>
1

3

5
<dependency>
    <groupid>org.hibernate</groupid>
    <artifactid>hibernate-tools</artifactid>
    <version>3.2.0.ga</version>
</dependency>

And that's all, no need to other dependencies ...
So our new pom.xml become :

  <modelversion>4.0.0</modelversion>
  <groupid>com.itillusion.migrators</groupid>
  <artifactid>loader</artifactid>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>loader</name>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupid>junit</groupid>
      <artifactid>junit</artifactid>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
     
 <dependency>
     <groupid>org.hibernate</groupid>
     <artifactid>hibernate-core</artifactid>
     <version>5.2.11.Final</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
     <groupid>org.hibernate</groupid>
     <artifactid>hibernate-tools</artifactid>
     <version>3.2.0.ga</version>
 </dependency>
      
  </dependencies>
</project>
Note that here we use hibernate 5.2.11

3- Build the HibernateUtils class

This class is recommended, it is a Singleton design pattern implementation, and will facilitate our work

classes.add(Assure.class);
classes.add(Beneficiaire.class);

We have added our annotated classes !
I'm sure that there is a more elegant methods to do this, (iteration on packages using java reflection api) but in my case i just need two tabled to map.

Note also that we conserved our classic hibernate.cfg.xml file. (Surely we can avoid that and use100% java code to confgiure hibernate, but i don't recommand that and it is more logic to store database informations in a separate faile that can change independently from our code)

Here is a simple cfg file:

Prestashop error Fatal error: Call to a member function getPageLink() on null in ......file.blockcart.tpl.php

After writing a new controller displaying all products in a shop i got this error message.
don't go so fat, check if you did the same mistake as me
    public function init()
    {
           /parent::init();  //it's required

The controller was written under ps 1.6
