Spring MVC Hibernate Integration CRUD Example Step by Step

In this example show how to write a simple web based application with CRUD  operation using Spring3 MVC Framwork with Hibernate3 using Annotation, which can handle CRUD inside its controllers. To start with it, let us have working STS IDE in place and follow the following steps to develop a Dynamic Form based Web Application using Spring Web Framework:

Step 1: Create a Database DAVDB on MySql Database and also we create Employee table on this database.

CREATE TABLE Employee(
   EMPID   INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   EMPNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
   EMPAGE  INT NOT NULL,
   SALARY BIGINT NOT NULL,
   ADDRESS VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
   PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);

Step 2: Create a database.properties for database configuration information in the resources folder under src folder in the created project.

database.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DAVDB
database.user=root
database.password=root
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
hibernate.show_sql=true
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

Step 3: Create a Dynamic Web Project with a name Spring3HibernateApp and create packages com.dineshonjava.controller, com.dineshonjava.bean, com.dineshonjava.dao, com.dineshonjava.service, com.dineshonjava.model under the src folder in the created project.

Step 4: Add below mentioned Spring 3.0 and Hibernate 3.0 related libraries and other libraries into the folder WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib. 

Step 5: Create a Java class EmployeeController, EmployeeBean, Employee, EmployeeDao, EmployeeDaoImpl, EmployeeService, EmployeeServiceImpl under the respective packages..

Step 6: Create Spring configuration files web.xml and sdnext-servlet.xml under the WebRoot/WEB-INF/ and WebRoot/WEB-INF/config folders.

Step 7: Create a sub-folder with a name views under the WebRoot/WEB-INF folder. Create a view file addEmployee.jsp, employeesList.jsp and index.jsp under this sub-folder.

Step 8: The final step is to create the content of all the source and configuration files name sdnext-servlet.xml under the sub-folder /WebRoot/WEB-INF/config and export the application as explained below.
