Hibernate ORM simplificado com Panache

Hibernate ORM is the de facto Jakarta Persistence (formerly known as JPA) implementation and offers you the full breadth of an Object Relational Mapper. It makes complex mappings possible, but it does not make simple and common mappings trivial. Hibernate ORM with Panache focuses on making your entities trivial and fun to write in Quarkus.

First: an example

What we’re doing in Panache is to allow you to write your Hibernate ORM entities like this:

package org.acme;

public enum Status {
    Alive,
    Deceased
}

package org.acme;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.List;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public LocalDate birth;
    public Status status;

    public static Person findByName(String name){
        return find("name", name).firstResult();
    }

    public static List<Person> findAlive(){
        return list("status", Status.Alive);
    }

    public static void deleteStefs(){
        delete("name", "Stef");
    }
}

You have noticed how much more compact and readable the code is? Does this look interesting? Read on!

the list() method might be surprising at first. It takes fragments of HQL (JP-QL) queries and contextualizes the rest. That makes for very concise but yet readable code.

what was described above is essentially the active record pattern, sometimes just called the entity pattern. Hibernate with Panache also allows for the use of the more classical repository pattern via PanacheRepository.

Solução

Recomendamos que siga as instruções nas seções seguintes e crie a aplicação passo a passo. No entanto, você pode ir diretamente para o exemplo completo.

Clone o repositório Git: git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts.git, ou baixe um arquivo.

The solution is located in the hibernate-orm-panache-quickstart directory.

Setting up and configuring Hibernate ORM with Panache

To get started:

add your settings in application.properties
annotate your entities with @Entity
make your entities extend PanacheEntity (optional if you are using the repository pattern)

Follow the Hibernate set-up guide for all configuration.

Em seu arquivo de build, adicione as seguintes dependências:

the Hibernate ORM with Panache extension
sua extensão de driver JDBC ( quarkus-jdbc-postgresql , quarkus-jdbc-h2 , quarkus-jdbc-mariadb , …)

pom.xml

<!-- Hibernate ORM specific dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- JDBC driver dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-jdbc-postgresql</artifactId>
</dependency>

build.gradle

// Hibernate ORM specific dependencies
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache")

// JDBC driver dependencies
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-jdbc-postgresql")

Then add the relevant configuration properties in application.properties.

# configure your datasource
quarkus.datasource.db-kind = postgresql
quarkus.datasource.username = sarah
quarkus.datasource.password = connor
quarkus.datasource.jdbc.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydatabase

# drop and create the database at startup (use `update` to only update the schema)
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation = drop-and-create

Solution 1: using the active record pattern

Defining your entity

To define a Panache entity, simply extend PanacheEntity, annotate it with @Entity and add your columns as public fields:

package org.acme;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.List;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public LocalDate birth;
    public Status status;
}

You can put all your Jakarta Persistence column annotations on the public fields. If you need a field to not be persisted, use the @Transient annotation on it. If you need to write accessors, you can:

package org.acme;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.List;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public LocalDate birth;
    public Status status;

    // return name as uppercase in the model
    public String getName(){
        return name.toUpperCase();
    }

    // store all names in lowercase in the DB
    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name.toLowerCase();
    }
}

And thanks to our field access rewrite, when your users read person.name they will actually call your getName() accessor, and similarly for field writes and the setter. This allows for proper encapsulation at runtime as all fields calls will be replaced by the corresponding getter/setter calls.

Most useful operations

Once you have written your entity, here are the most common operations you will be able to perform:

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

// creating a person
Person person = new Person();
person.name = "Stef";
person.birth = LocalDate.of(1910, Month.FEBRUARY, 1);
person.status = Status.Alive;

// persist it
person.persist();

// note that once persisted, you don't need to explicitly save your entity: all
// modifications are automatically persisted on transaction commit.

// check if it is persistent
if(person.isPersistent()){
    // delete it
    person.delete();
}

// getting a list of all Person entities
List<Person> allPersons = Person.listAll();

// finding a specific person by ID
person = Person.findById(personId);

// finding a specific person by ID via an Optional
Optional<Person> optional = Person.findByIdOptional(personId);
person = optional.orElseThrow(() -> new NotFoundException());

// finding all living persons
List<Person> livingPersons = Person.list("status", Status.Alive);

// counting all persons
long countAll = Person.count();

// counting all living persons
long countAlive = Person.count("status", Status.Alive);

// delete all living persons
Person.delete("status", Status.Alive);

// delete all persons
Person.deleteAll();

// delete by id
boolean deleted = Person.deleteById(personId);

// set the name of all living persons to 'Mortal'
Person.update("name = 'Mortal' where status = ?1", Status.Alive);

All list methods have equivalent stream versions.

import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

try (Stream<Person> persons = Person.streamAll()) {
    List<String> namesButEmmanuels = persons
        .map(p -> p.name.toLowerCase() )
        .filter( n -> ! "emmanuel".equals(n) )
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

The stream methods require a transaction to work.
As they perform I/O operations, they should be closed via the close() method or via a try-with-resource to close the underlying ResultSet. If not, you will see warnings from Agroal that will close the underlying ResultSet for you.

Adding entity methods

Add custom queries on your entities inside the entities themselves. That way, you and your co-workers can find them easily, and queries are co-located with the object they operate on. Adding them as static methods in your entity class is the Panache Active Record way.

package org.acme;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.List;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public LocalDate birth;
    public Status status;

    public static Person findByName(String name){
        return find("name", name).firstResult();
    }

    public static List<Person> findAlive(){
        return list("status", Status.Alive);
    }

    public static void deleteStefs(){
        delete("name", "Stef");
    }
}

Solution 2: using the repository pattern

Defining your entity

When using the repository pattern, you can define your entities as regular Jakarta Persistence entities.

package org.acme;

import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import java.time.LocalDate;

@Entity
public class Person {
    @Id @GeneratedValue private Long id;
    private String name;
    private LocalDate birth;
    private Status status;

    public Long getId(){
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Long id){
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public LocalDate getBirth() {
        return birth;
    }
    public void setBirth(LocalDate birth) {
        this.birth = birth;
    }
    public Status getStatus() {
        return status;
    }
    public void setStatus(Status status) {
        this.status = status;
    }
}

If you don’t want to bother defining getters/setters for your entities, you can make them extend PanacheEntityBase and Quarkus will generate them for you. You can even extend PanacheEntity and take advantage of the default ID it provides.

Defining your repository

When using Repositories, you get the exact same convenient methods as with the active record pattern, injected in your Repository, by making them implements PanacheRepository:

package org.acme;

import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheRepository;

import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import java.util.List;

@ApplicationScoped
public class PersonRepository implements PanacheRepository<Person> {

   // put your custom logic here as instance methods

   public Person findByName(String name){
       return find("name", name).firstResult();
   }

   public List<Person> findAlive(){
       return list("status", Status.Alive);
   }

   public void deleteStefs(){
       delete("name", "Stef");
  }
}

All the operations that are defined on PanacheEntityBase are available on your repository, so using it is exactly the same as using the active record pattern, except you need to inject it:

import jakarta.inject.Inject;

@Inject
PersonRepository personRepository;

@GET
public long count(){
    return personRepository.count();
}

Most useful operations

Once you have written your repository, here are the most common operations you will be able to perform:

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

// creating a person
Person person = new Person();
person.setName("Stef");
person.setBirth(LocalDate.of(1910, Month.FEBRUARY, 1));
person.setStatus(Status.Alive);

// persist it
personRepository.persist(person);

// note that once persisted, you don't need to explicitly save your entity: all
// modifications are automatically persisted on transaction commit.

// check if it is persistent
if(personRepository.isPersistent(person)){
    // delete it
    personRepository.delete(person);
}

// getting a list of all Person entities
List<Person> allPersons = personRepository.listAll();

// finding a specific person by ID
person = personRepository.findById(personId);

// finding a specific person by ID via an Optional
Optional<Person> optional = personRepository.findByIdOptional(personId);
person = optional.orElseThrow(() -> new NotFoundException());

// finding all living persons
List<Person> livingPersons = personRepository.list("status", Status.Alive);

// counting all persons
long countAll = personRepository.count();

// counting all living persons
long countAlive = personRepository.count("status", Status.Alive);

// delete all living persons
personRepository.delete("status", Status.Alive);

// delete all persons
personRepository.deleteAll();

// delete by id
boolean deleted = personRepository.deleteById(personId);

// set the name of all living persons to 'Mortal'
personRepository.update("name = 'Mortal' where status = ?1", Status.Alive);

All list methods have equivalent stream versions.

import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

Stream<Person> persons = personRepository.streamAll();
List<String> namesButEmmanuels = persons
    .map(p -> p.name.toLowerCase() )
    .filter( n -> ! "emmanuel".equals(n) )
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

The stream methods require a transaction to work.

The rest of the documentation show usages based on the active record pattern only, but keep in mind that they can be performed with the repository pattern as well. The repository pattern examples have been omitted for brevity.

Writing a Jakarta REST resource

First, include one of the Quarkus REST (formerly RESTEasy Reactive) extensions to enable Jakarta REST endpoints, for example, add the io.quarkus:quarkus-rest-jackson dependency for Jakarta REST and JSON support.

Then, you can create the following resource to create/read/update/delete your Person entity:

package org.acme;

import java.net.URI;
import java.util.List;
import jakarta.transaction.Transactional;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Consumes;
import jakarta.ws.rs.DELETE;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
import jakarta.ws.rs.NotFoundException;
import jakarta.ws.rs.POST;
import jakarta.ws.rs.PUT;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/persons")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class PersonResource {

    @GET
    public List<Person> list() {
        return Person.listAll();
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/{id}")
    public Person get(Long id) {
        return Person.findById(id);
    }

    @POST
    @Transactional
    public Response create(Person person) {
        person.persist();
        return Response.created(URI.create("/persons/" + person.id)).build();
    }

    @PUT
    @Path("/{id}")
    @Transactional
    public Person update(Long id, Person person) {
        Person entity = Person.findById(id);
        if(entity == null) {
            throw new NotFoundException();
        }

        // map all fields from the person parameter to the existing entity
        entity.name = person.name;

        return entity;
    }

    @DELETE
    @Path("/{id}")
    @Transactional
    public void delete(Long id) {
        Person entity = Person.findById(id);
        if(entity == null) {
            throw new NotFoundException();
        }
        entity.delete();
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/search/{name}")
    public Person search(String name) {
        return Person.findByName(name);
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/count")
    public Long count() {
        return Person.count();
    }
}

Be careful to use the @Transactional annotation on the operations that modify the database, you can add the annotation at the class level for simplicity purpose.

To make it easier to showcase some capabilities of Hibernate ORM with Panache on Quarkus with Dev mode, some test data should be inserted into the database by adding the following content to a new file named src/main/resources/import.sql:

INSERT INTO person (id, birth, name, status) VALUES (1, '1995-09-12', 'Emily Brown', 0);
ALTER SEQUENCE person_seq RESTART WITH 2;

If you would like to initialize the DB when you start the Quarkus app in your production environment, add quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation=drop-and-create to the Quarkus startup options in addition to import.sql.

After that, you can see the people list and add new person as followings:

$ curl -w "\n" http://localhost:8080/persons
[{"id":1,"name":"Emily Brown","birth":"1995-09-12","status":"Alive"}]

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name" : "William Davis" , "birth" : "1988-07-04", "status" : "Alive"}' http://localhost:8080/persons

$ curl -w "\n" http://localhost:8080/persons
[{"id":1,"name":"Emily Brown","birth":"1995-09-12","status":"Alive"}, {"id":2,"name":"William Davis","birth":"1988-07-04","status":"Alive"}]

If you see the Person object as Person<1>, then the object has not been converted. In this case, add the dependency quarkus-rest-jackson in pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-rest-jackson</artifactId>
</dependency>

Advanced Query

Paging

You should only use list and stream methods if your table contains small enough data sets. For larger data sets you can use the find method equivalents, which return a PanacheQuery on which you can do paging:

import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheQuery;
import io.quarkus.panache.common.Page;
import java.util.List;

// create a query for all living persons
PanacheQuery<Person> livingPersons = Person.find("status", Status.Alive);

// make it use pages of 25 entries at a time
livingPersons.page(Page.ofSize(25));

// get the first page
List<Person> firstPage = livingPersons.list();

// get the second page
List<Person> secondPage = livingPersons.nextPage().list();

// get page 7
List<Person> page7 = livingPersons.page(Page.of(7, 25)).list();

// get the number of pages
int numberOfPages = livingPersons.pageCount();

// get the total number of entities returned by this query without paging
long count = livingPersons.count();

// and you can chain methods of course
return Person.find("status", Status.Alive)
    .page(Page.ofSize(25))
    .nextPage()
    .stream()

The PanacheQuery type has many other methods to deal with paging and returning streams.

Using a range instead of pages

PanacheQuery also allows range-based queries.

import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheQuery;
import java.util.List;

// create a query for all living persons
PanacheQuery<Person> livingPersons = Person.find("status", Status.Alive);

// make it use a range: start at index 0 until index 24 (inclusive).
livingPersons.range(0, 24);

// get the range
List<Person> firstRange = livingPersons.list();

// to get the next range, you need to call range again
List<Person> secondRange = livingPersons.range(25, 49).list();

You cannot mix ranges and pages: if you use a range, all methods that depend on having a current page will throw an UnsupportedOperationException; you can switch back to paging using page(Page) or page(int, int).

Sorting

All methods accepting a query string also accept the following simplified query form:

List<Person> persons = Person.list("order by name,birth");

But these methods also accept an optional Sort parameter, which allows you to abstract your sorting:

import io.quarkus.panache.common.Sort;

List<Person> persons = Person.list(Sort.by("name").and("birth"));

// and with more restrictions
List<Person> persons = Person.list("status", Sort.by("name").and("birth"), Status.Alive);

// and list first the entries with null values in the field "birth"
List<Person> persons = Person.list(Sort.by("birth", Sort.NullPrecedence.NULLS_FIRST));

The Sort class has plenty of methods for adding columns and specifying sort direction or the null precedence.

Simplified queries

Normally, HQL queries are of this form: from EntityName [where …] [order by …], with optional elements at the end.

If your select query does not start with from, select or with, we support the following additional forms:

order by … which will expand to from EntityName order by …
<singleAttribute> (and single parameter) which will expand to from EntityName where <singleAttribute> = ?
where <query> will expand to from EntityName where <query>
<query> will expand to from EntityName where <query>

If your update query does not start with update, we support the following additional forms:

from EntityName … which will expand to update EntityName …
set? <singleAttribute> (and single parameter) which will expand to update EntityName set <singleAttribute> = ?
set? <update-query> will expand to update EntityName set <update-query>

If your delete query does not start with delete, we support the following additional forms:

from EntityName … which will expand to delete from EntityName …
<singleAttribute> (and single parameter) which will expand to delete from EntityName where <singleAttribute> = ?
<query> will expand to delete from EntityName where <query>

You can also write your queries in plain HQL:

Order.find("select distinct o from Order o left join fetch o.lineItems");
Order.update("update Person set name = 'Mortal' where status = ?", Status.Alive);

Named queries

You can reference a named query instead of a (simplified) HQL query by prefixing its name with the '#' character. You can also use named queries for count, update and delete queries.

package org.acme;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.NamedQueries;
import jakarta.persistence.NamedQuery;

import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;
import io.quarkus.panache.common.Parameters;

@Entity
@NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = "Person.getByName", query = "from Person where name = ?1"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Person.countByStatus", query = "select count(*) from Person p where p.status = :status"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Person.updateStatusById", query = "update Person p set p.status = :status where p.id = :id"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Person.deleteById", query = "delete from Person p where p.id = ?1")
})

public class Person extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public LocalDate birth;
    public Status status;

    public static Person findByName(String name){
        return find("#Person.getByName", name).firstResult();
    }

    public static long countByStatus(Status status) {
        return count("#Person.countByStatus", Parameters.with("status", status).map());
    }

    public static long updateStatusById(Status status, long id) {
        return update("#Person.updateStatusById", Parameters.with("status", status).and("id", id));
    }

    public static long deleteById(long id) {
        return delete("#Person.deleteById", id);
    }
}

Named queries can only be defined inside your Jakarta Persistence entity classes, or on one of their super classes.

Query parameters

You can pass query parameters by index (1-based) as shown below:

Person.find("name = ?1 and status = ?2", "stef", Status.Alive);

Or by name using a Map:

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("name", "stef");
params.put("status", Status.Alive);
Person.find("name = :name and status = :status", params);

Or using the convenience class Parameters either as is or to build a Map:

// generate a Map
Person.find("name = :name and status = :status",
         Parameters.with("name", "stef").and("status", Status.Alive).map());

// use it as-is
Person.find("name = :name and status = :status",
         Parameters.with("name", "stef").and("status", Status.Alive));

Every query operation accepts passing parameters by index (Object…), or by name (Map<String,Object> or Parameters).

Query projection

Query projection can be done with the project(Class) method on the PanacheQuery object that is returned by the find() methods.

You can use it to restrict which fields will be returned by the database.

Hibernate will use DTO projection and generate a SELECT clause with the attributes from the projection class. This is also called dynamic instantiation or constructor expression, more info can be found on the Hibernate guide: hql select clause

The projection class needs to have a constructor that contains all its attributes, this constructor will be used to instantiate the projection DTO instead of using the entity class. This class must have a matching constructor with all the class attributes as parameters.

import io.quarkus.runtime.annotations.RegisterForReflection;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheQuery;

@RegisterForReflection (1)
public class PersonName {
    public final String name; (2)

    public PersonName(String name){ (3)
        this.name = name;
    }
}

// only 'name' will be loaded from the database
PanacheQuery<PersonName> query = Person.find("status", Status.Alive).project(PersonName.class);

1	The `@RegisterForReflection` annotation instructs Quarkus to keep the class and its members during the native compilation. More details about the `@RegisterForReflection` annotation can be found on the native application tips page.
2	We use public fields here, but you can use private fields and getters/setters if you prefer.
3	This constructor will be used by Hibernate, it must be the only constructor in your class and have all the class attributes as parameters.

The implementation of the project(Class) method uses the constructor’s parameter names to build the select clause of the query, so the compiler must be configured to store parameter names inside the compiled class. This is enabled by default if you are using the Quarkus Maven archetype. If you are not using it, add the property <maven.compiler.parameters>true</maven.compiler.parameters> to your pom.xml.

If you run Java 17+, records are a good fit for projection classes.

If in the DTO projection object you have a field from a referenced entity, you can use the @ProjectedFieldName annotation to provide the path for the SELECT statement.

import jakarta.persistence.ManyToOne;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.common.ProjectedFieldName;

@Entity
public class Dog extends PanacheEntity {
    public String name;
    public String race;
    public Double weight;
    @ManyToOne
    public Person owner;
}

@RegisterForReflection
public class DogDto {
    public String name;
    public String ownerName;

    public DogDto(String name, @ProjectedFieldName("owner.name") String ownerName) {  (1)
        this.name = name;
        this.ownerName = ownerName;
    }
}

PanacheQuery<DogDto> query = Dog.findAll().project(DogDto.class);

1	The `ownerName` DTO constructor’s parameter will be loaded from the `owner.name` HQL property.

In case you want to project an entity in a class with nested classes, you can use the @NestedProjectedClass annotation on those nested classes.

@RegisterForReflection
public class DogDto {
    public String name;
    public PersonDto owner;

    public DogDto(String name, PersonDto owner) {
        this.name = name;
        this.owner = owner;
    }

    @NestedProjectedClass (1)
    public static class PersonDto {
        public String name;

        public PersonDto(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }
    }
}

PanacheQuery<DogDto> query = Dog.findAll().project(DogDto.class);

1	This annotation can be used when you want to project `@Embedded` entity or `@ManyToOne`, `@OneToOne` relation. It does not support `@OneToMany` or `@ManyToMany` relation.

It is also possible to specify a HQL query with a select clause. In this case, the projection class must have a constructor matching the values returned by the select clause:

import io.quarkus.runtime.annotations.RegisterForReflection;

@RegisterForReflection
public class RaceWeight {
    public final String race;
    public final Double weight;

    public RaceWeight(String race) {
        this(race, null);
    }

    public RaceWeight(String race, Double weight) { (1)
        this.race = race;
        this.weight = weight;
    }
}

// Only the race and the average weight will be loaded
PanacheQuery<RaceWeight> query = Person.find("select d.race, AVG(d.weight) from Dog d group by d.race").project(RaceWeight.class);

1	Hibernate ORM will use this constructor. When the query has a select clause, it is possible to have multiple constructors.

It is not possible to have a HQL select new query and .project(Class) at the same time - you need to pick one approach.

For example, this will fail:

PanacheQuery<RaceWeight> query = Person.find("select new MyView(d.race, AVG(d.weight)) from Dog d group by d.race").project(AnotherView.class);

Multiple Persistence Units

The support for multiple persistence units is described in detail in the Hibernate ORM guide.

When using Panache, things are simple:

A given Panache entity can be attached to only a single persistence unit.
Given that, Panache already provides the necessary plumbing to transparently find the appropriate EntityManager associated to a Panache entity.

Transactions

Make sure to wrap methods modifying your database (e.g. entity.persist()) within a transaction. Marking a CDI bean method @Transactional will do that for you and make that method a transaction boundary. We recommend doing so at your application entry point boundaries like your REST endpoint controllers.

Hibernate ORM batches changes you make to your entities and sends changes (it is called flush) at the end of the transaction or before a query. This is usually a good thing as it is more efficient. But if you want to check optimistic locking failures, do object validation right away or generally want to get immediate feedback, you can force the flush operation by calling entity.flush() or even use entity.persistAndFlush() to make it a single method call. This will allow you to catch any PersistenceException that could occur when Hibernate ORM sends those changes to the database. Remember, this is less efficient so don’t abuse it. And your transaction still has to be committed.

Here is an example of the usage of the flush method to allow making a specific action in case of PersistenceException:

import jakarta.persistence.PersistenceException;

@Transactional
public void create(Parameter parameter){
    try {
        //Here I use the persistAndFlush() shorthand method on a Panache repository to persist to database then flush the changes.
        return parameterRepository.persistAndFlush(parameter);
    }
    catch(PersistenceException pe){
        LOG.error("Unable to create the parameter", pe);
        //in case of error, I save it to disk
        diskPersister.save(parameter);
    }
}

Lock management

Panache provides direct support for database locking with your entity/repository, using findById(Object, LockModeType) or find().withLock(LockModeType).

The following examples are for the active record pattern, but the same can be used with repositories.

First: Locking using findById().

import jakarta.persistence.LockModeType;
import jakarta.transaction.Transactional;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;

public class PersonEndpoint {

    @GET
    @Transactional
    public Person findByIdForUpdate(Long id){
        Person p = Person.findById(id, LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE);
        //do something useful, the lock will be released when the transaction ends.
        return person;
    }

}

Second: Locking in a find().

import jakarta.persistence.LockModeType;
import jakarta.transaction.Transactional;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;

public class PersonEndpoint {

    @GET
    @Transactional
    public Person findByNameForUpdate(String name){
        Person p = Person.find("name", name).withLock(LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE).findOne();
        //do something useful, the lock will be released when the transaction ends.
        return person;
    }

}

Be careful that locks are released when the transaction ends, so the method that invokes the lock query must be annotated with the @Transactional annotation.

Custom IDs

IDs are often a touchy subject, and not everyone’s up for letting them handled by the framework, once again we have you covered.

You can specify your own ID strategy by extending PanacheEntityBase instead of PanacheEntity. Then you just declare whatever ID you want as a public field:

import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.GenerationType;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntityBase;

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntityBase {

    @Id
    @SequenceGenerator(
            name = "personSequence",
            sequenceName = "person_id_seq",
            allocationSize = 1,
            initialValue = 4)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "personSequence")
    public Integer id;

    //...
}

If you’re using repositories, then you will want to extend PanacheRepositoryBase instead of PanacheRepository and specify your ID type as an extra type parameter:

import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheRepositoryBase;
import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;

@ApplicationScoped
public class PersonRepository implements PanacheRepositoryBase<Person,Integer> {
    //...
}

Mocking (Simulação)

Using the active record pattern

If you are using the active record pattern you cannot use Mockito directly as it does not support mocking static methods, but you can use the quarkus-panache-mock module which allows you to use Mockito to mock all provided static methods, including your own.

Add this dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-panache-mock</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Given this simple entity:

@Entity
public class Person extends PanacheEntity {

    public String name;

    public static List<Person> findOrdered() {
        return find("ORDER BY name").list();
    }
}

You can write your mocking test like this:

import io.quarkus.panache.mock.PanacheMock;
import io.quarkus.test.junit.QuarkusTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import jakarta.ws.rs.WebApplicationException;
import java.util.Collections;

@QuarkusTest
public class PanacheFunctionalityTest {

    @Test
    public void testPanacheMocking() {
        PanacheMock.mock(Person.class);

        // Mocked classes always return a default value
        Assertions.assertEquals(0, Person.count());

        // Now let's specify the return value
        Mockito.when(Person.count()).thenReturn(23L);
        Assertions.assertEquals(23, Person.count());

        // Now let's change the return value
        Mockito.when(Person.count()).thenReturn(42L);
        Assertions.assertEquals(42, Person.count());

        // Now let's call the original method
        Mockito.when(Person.count()).thenCallRealMethod();
        Assertions.assertEquals(0, Person.count());

        // Check that we called it 4 times
        PanacheMock.verify(Person.class, Mockito.times(4)).count();(1)

        // Mock only with specific parameters
        Person p = new Person();
        Mockito.when(Person.findById(12L)).thenReturn(p);
        Assertions.assertSame(p, Person.findById(12L));
        Assertions.assertNull(Person.findById(42L));

        // Mock throwing
        Mockito.when(Person.findById(12L)).thenThrow(new WebApplicationException());
        Assertions.assertThrows(WebApplicationException.class, () -> Person.findById(12L));

        // We can even mock your custom methods
        Mockito.when(Person.findOrdered()).thenReturn(Collections.emptyList());
        Assertions.assertTrue(Person.findOrdered().isEmpty());

        // Mocking a void method
        Person.voidMethod();

        // Make it throw
        PanacheMock.doThrow(new RuntimeException("Stef2")).when(Person.class).voidMethod();
        try {
            Person.voidMethod();
            Assertions.fail();
        } catch (RuntimeException x) {
            Assertions.assertEquals("Stef2", x.getMessage());
        }

        // Back to doNothing
        PanacheMock.doNothing().when(Person.class).voidMethod();
        Person.voidMethod();

        // Make it call the real method
        PanacheMock.doCallRealMethod().when(Person.class).voidMethod();
        try {
            Person.voidMethod();
            Assertions.fail();
        } catch (RuntimeException x) {
            Assertions.assertEquals("void", x.getMessage());
        }

        PanacheMock.verify(Person.class).findOrdered();
        PanacheMock.verify(Person.class, Mockito.atLeast(4)).voidMethod();
        PanacheMock.verify(Person.class, Mockito.atLeastOnce()).findById(Mockito.any());
        PanacheMock.verifyNoMoreInteractions(Person.class);
    }
}

1	Be sure to call your `verify` and `do*` methods on `PanacheMock` rather than `Mockito`, otherwise you won’t know what mock object to pass.

Mocking `EntityManager`, `Session` and entity instance methods

If you need to mock entity instance methods, such as persist() you can do it by mocking the Hibernate ORM Session object:

import io.quarkus.test.InjectMock;
import io.quarkus.test.junit.QuarkusTest;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.query.SelectionQuery;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;

@QuarkusTest
public class PanacheMockingTest {

    @InjectMock
    Session session;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setup() {
        SelectionQuery mockQuery = Mockito.mock(SelectionQuery.class);
        Mockito.doNothing().when(session).persist(Mockito.any());
        Mockito.when(session.createSelectionQuery(Mockito.anyString(), Mockito.any())).thenReturn(mockQuery);
        Mockito.when(mockQuery.getSingleResult()).thenReturn(0l);
    }

    @Test
    public void testPanacheMocking() {
        Person p = new Person();
        // mocked via EntityManager mocking
        p.persist();
        Assertions.assertNull(p.id);

        Mockito.verify(session, Mockito.times(1)).persist(Mockito.any());
    }
}

Using the repository pattern

If you are using the repository pattern you can use Mockito directly, using the quarkus-junit5-mockito module, which makes mocking beans much easier:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-junit5-mockito</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Given this simple entity:

@Entity
public class Person {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    public Long id;

    public String name;
}

And this repository:

@ApplicationScoped
public class PersonRepository implements PanacheRepository<Person> {
    public List<Person> findOrdered() {
        return find("ORDER BY name").list();
    }
}

You can write your mocking test like this:

import io.quarkus.test.InjectMock;
import io.quarkus.test.junit.QuarkusTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import jakarta.ws.rs.WebApplicationException;
import java.util.Collections;

@QuarkusTest
public class PanacheFunctionalityTest {
    @InjectMock
    PersonRepository personRepository;

    @Test
    public void testPanacheRepositoryMocking() throws Throwable {
        // Mocked classes always return a default value
        Assertions.assertEquals(0, personRepository.count());

        // Now let's specify the return value
        Mockito.when(personRepository.count()).thenReturn(23L);
        Assertions.assertEquals(23, personRepository.count());

        // Now let's change the return value
        Mockito.when(personRepository.count()).thenReturn(42L);
        Assertions.assertEquals(42, personRepository.count());

        // Now let's call the original method
        Mockito.when(personRepository.count()).thenCallRealMethod();
        Assertions.assertEquals(0, personRepository.count());

        // Check that we called it 4 times
        Mockito.verify(personRepository, Mockito.times(4)).count();

        // Mock only with specific parameters
        Person p = new Person();
        Mockito.when(personRepository.findById(12L)).thenReturn(p);
        Assertions.assertSame(p, personRepository.findById(12L));
        Assertions.assertNull(personRepository.findById(42L));

        // Mock throwing
        Mockito.when(personRepository.findById(12L)).thenThrow(new WebApplicationException());
        Assertions.assertThrows(WebApplicationException.class, () -> personRepository.findById(12L));

        Mockito.when(personRepository.findOrdered()).thenReturn(Collections.emptyList());
        Assertions.assertTrue(personRepository.findOrdered().isEmpty());

        // We can even mock your custom methods
        Mockito.verify(personRepository).findOrdered();
        Mockito.verify(personRepository, Mockito.atLeastOnce()).findById(Mockito.any());
        Mockito.verifyNoMoreInteractions(personRepository);
    }
}

How and why we simplify Hibernate ORM mappings

When it comes to writing Hibernate ORM entities, there are a number of annoying things that users have grown used to reluctantly deal with, such as:

Duplicating ID logic: most entities need an ID, most people don’t care how it is set, because it is not really relevant to your model.
Traditional EE patterns advise to split entity definition (the model) from the operations you can do on them (DAOs, Repositories), but really that requires a split between the state and its operations even though we would never do something like that for regular objects in the Object-Oriented architecture, where state and methods are in the same class. Moreover, this requires two classes per entity, and requires injection of the DAO or Repository where you need to do entity operations, which breaks your edit flow and requires you to get out of the code you’re writing to set up an injection point before coming back to use it.
Hibernate queries are super powerful, but overly verbose for common operations, requiring you to write queries even when you don’t need all the parts.
Hibernate is very general-purpose, but does not make it trivial to do trivial operations that make up 90% of our model usage.

With Panache, we took an opinionated approach to tackle all these problems:

Make your entities extend PanacheEntity: it has an ID field that is auto-generated. If you require a custom ID strategy, you can extend PanacheEntityBase instead and handle the ID yourself.
Use public fields. Get rid of dumb getter and setters. Hibernate ORM w/o Panache also doesn’t require you to use getters and setters, but Panache will additionally generate all getters and setters that are missing, and rewrite every access to these fields to use the accessor methods. This way you can still write useful accessors when you need them, which will be used even though your entity users still use field accesses. This implies that from the Hibernate perspective you’re using accessors via getters and setters even while it looks like field accessors.
With the active record pattern: put all your entity logic in static methods in your entity class and don’t create DAOs. Your entity superclass comes with lots of super useful static methods, and you can add your own in your entity class. Users can just start using your entity Person by typing Person. and getting completion for all the operations in a single place.
Don’t write parts of the query that you don’t need: write Person.find("order by name") or Person.find("name = ?1 and status = ?2", "stef", Status.Alive) or even better Person.find("name", "stef").

That’s all there is to it: with Panache, Hibernate ORM has never looked so trim and neat.

Defining entities in external projects or jars

Hibernate ORM with Panache in Quarkus relies on compile-time bytecode enhancements to your entities. If you define your entities in the same project where you build your Quarkus application, everything will work fine.

If the entities come from external projects or jars, you can make sure that your jar is treated like a Quarkus application library by adding an empty META-INF/beans.xml file.

This will allow Quarkus to index and enhance your entities as if they were inside the current project.
