Finding an entity

To find an entity, EntityManger interface provides find() method that searches an element on the basis of primary key.

JPA Entity Finding Example

Here, we will search a particular record and fetch it on the console.

This example contains the following steps: –

Create an entity class named as StudentEntity.java under com.tutoraspire.jpa.student package that contains attributes s_id, s_name, s_age.

StudentEntity.java

  package com.tutoraspire.jpa.student;  import javax.persistence.*;    @Entity  @Table(name=”student”)  public class StudentEntity {    @Id  private int s_id;  private String s_name;  private int s_age;    public StudentEntity(int s_id, String s_name, int s_age) {  super();  this.s_id = s_id;  this.s_name = s_name;  this.s_age = s_age;  }    public StudentEntity() {  super();  }    public int getS_id() {  return s_id;  }    public void setS_id(int s_id) {  this.s_id = s_id;  }    public String getS_name() {  return s_name;  }    public void setS_name(String s_name) {  this.s_name = s_name;  }    public int getS_age() {  return s_age;  }    public void setS_age(int s_age) {  this.s_age = s_age;  }    }  

Now, map the entity class and other databases confiuguration in Persistence.xml file.

Persistence.xml

  <persistence>  <persistence-unit name=”Student_details”>    <class>com.tutoraspire.jpa.student.StudentEntity</class>    <properties>  <property name=”javax.persistence.jdbc.driver” value=”com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”/>  <property name=”javax.persistence.jdbc.url” value=”jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/studentdata”/>  <property name=”javax.persistence.jdbc.user” value=”root”/>  <property name=”javax.persistence.jdbc.password” value=””/>  <property name=”eclipselink.logging.level” value=”SEVERE”/>  <property name=”eclipselink.ddl-generation” value=”create-or-extend-tables”/>  </properties>    </persistence-unit>  </persistence>  

Create a persistence class named as FindStudent.java under com.tutoraspire.jpa.find package to persist the entity object with data.

FindStudent.java

  package com.tutoraspire.jpa.find;    import javax.persistence.*;    import com.tutoraspire.jpa.student.*;    public class FindStudent {  public static void main(String args[])  {  EntityManagerFactory emf=Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(“Student_details”);  EntityManager em=emf.createEntityManager();        StudentEntity s=em.find(StudentEntity.class,101);    System.out.println(“Student id = “+s.getS_id());  System.out.println(“Student Name = “+s.getS_name());  System.out.println(“Student Age = “+s.getS_age());    }  }
