one-to-one bidirectional (in hibernate example) xDoclet

create xDoclet tag both one side
1. assume each user only have one car

user class reference car
car class reference user

2. identify From & To direction

assume that user (from) - car (to)
then user primary key store to car table (foreign key)

3. xDoclet tag

== code ==
car class:
/**
* @hibernate.many-to-one
* class = "local.sample.oo.User"
* column = "userId"
*/
public User getUser()
{
return _user;
}
== code ==

car is to --> so that is many-to-one relationship (from logic it is one-to-one but if both side one to one cannot be identify to & from)
column -> represent the user primary key store column on car table

== code ==
user class:
/**
* @hibernate.one-to-one
* cascade = "save-update"
*/
public Car getCar()
{
return _car;
}
== code ==

user is from -> so that is one-to-one relationship
cascade -> when update user, it also request car to update (if car is modified)

Simple Sample to use Spring, xDoclet and Hibernate

I just revision how to use Hibernate, you need to understand about the one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many before use the Hibernate. Hibernate is not very complicate but you don't use any tools to help develop the application with Hibernate, you will feel hard.
In my experience, I suggest to use Eclipse 3.1.x & JBoss IDE plugins to develop the Hibernate and Spring application.

I will provide the simple project. It demo how to create one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many.
You need to pay attention on :

1. persistent classes xDoclect's Hibernate tag.
2. Spring configuration xml file ( hibernate.xml) - datasource, hbm config, bean of spring
   
3. xDoclet configuration. Project > right click > property > XDoclect configuration

Hope this example can give you idea to use Spring and Hibernate.
