Add hibernate related dependencies to pom.xml

To be able to use Hibernate in your project you need reference to Hibernate jars. Once you have set up your Maven to access JBoss repository for Hibernate artifacts, you can add the dependencies below to your pom.xml:

We have added:
#1. Hibernate annotations.
#2. Hibernate commons annotations.
#3. Hibernate entity manager.
#4. Hibernate validator.

  
    org.hibernate
    hibernate-annotations
    3.5.7-SNAPSHOT
  

  
  
    org.hibernate
    hibernate-commons-annotations
    3.2.0.Final    
  
  
    org.hibernate
    hibernate-entitymanager
    3.6.0.CR2
  

  
  
     javax.validation
     validation-api
     1.0.0.GA
  
  
    org.hibernate
    hibernate-validator
    4.0.2.GA
  

Maven: Add JBoss Maven repository as your alternate remote repository.

Hibernate publishes its artifacts to the JBoss Maven Repository under the org.hibernate groupId/namespace. To setup Maven to access JBoss Maven Repository follow the steps here. This will add the JBoss Maven Repository as an additional repository along with central maven repository.


#1. Create a file named 'settings.xml' in the '.m2' directory under your home directory. For me it is: /home/rhasija/.m2

And add the following content to it:

 


  
    

      jboss-public-repository
              
        
          jboss-public-repository-group
          JBoss Public Maven Repository Group
          https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/
          default
          
            true
            never
          
          
            true
            never
          
        
      

      
        
          jboss-public-repository-group
          JBoss Public Maven Repository Group
          https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/
          default
          
            true
            never
          
          
            true
            never
          
        
      

    
  

  
    jboss-public-repository
  

Maven, Spring MVC, Hibernate and Mockito

In this 8 part series, I will cover how to create a simple Maven Web project, and then add Hibernate, Spring MVC and Mockito dependencies. I am assuming you have Maven installed. If not you can learn how to install Maven here.

First we will start with a brand new Maven project:

Step #1: Generate a Maven Webapp project:

mvn archetype:generate

The command above provides us a lot of archetype options. For this demo, we are going to choose #83 that is: maven-archetype-webapp (An archetype which contains a sample Maven Webapp project.).

Below (in bold) were the options I chose:

Choose a number: 80: 83
Choose version:
1: 1.0
2: 1.0-alpha-1
3: 1.0-alpha-2
4: 1.0-alpha-3
5: 1.0-alpha-4
Choose a number: : 5
Define value for property 'groupId': : com.mayabansi.webappdemo
Define value for property 'artifactId': : MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo
Define value for property 'version': 1.0-SNAPSHOT:
Define value for property 'package': com.mayabansi.webappdemo:

(NOTE: I have left out the rest of standard maven output for brevity)

Above command created the project structure below:

rhasija@rhasija-desktop ~/workspace/blog_projects/MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo $ find . 
.
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/main/webapp/index.jsp
./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
./src/main/resources
./pom.xml

rhasija@rhasija-desktop ~/workspace/blog_projects/MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo $ 

Step #2: Add basic project to source code control.

Step #3: Make project ready for IntelliJ Idea/Eclipse.

Step #4: Add JBoss Remote Repository as alternate remote repository for Hibernate artifacts.

Step #5: Add Hibernate related dependencies.

Step #6: Add Enterprise Bundle repository to settings.xml

Step #7: Add Spring MVC related dependencies.

Step #8: Add Mockito dependency.

NOTE: The example is complete. I will keep adding to it as I learn new things so as to make the example project richer.

The entire project can be downloaded from GitHub or you can use Git to checkout the project:

git clone git@github.com:RaviH/MavenSpringHibernateMockito.git
