Build a Simple CRUD App with TiDB and Java

This document describes how to use TiDB and Java to build a simple CRUD application.

Note

It is recommended to use Java 8 or a later Java version.

If you want to use Spring Boot for application development, refer to Build the TiDB Application using Spring Boot

Step 1. Launch your TiDB cluster

The following introduces how to start a TiDB cluster.

Use a TiDB Cloud free cluster

For detailed steps, see Create a free cluster.

Use a local cluster

For detailed steps, see Deploy a local test cluster or Deploy a TiDB Cluster Using TiUP.

See Create a free cluster.

Step 2. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/pingcap-inc/tidb-example-java.git
  • Using JDBC
  • Using Mybatis (Recommended)
  • Using Hibernate (Recommended)

Change to the plain-java-jdbc directory:

cd plain-java-jdbc

The structure of this directory is as follows:

.
├── Makefile
├── plain-java-jdbc.iml
├── pom.xml
└── src
    └── main
        ├── java
        │   └── com
        │       └── pingcap
        │            └── JDBCExample.java
        └── resources
            └── dbinit.sql

You can find initialization statements for the table creation in dbinit.sql:

USE test;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS player;

CREATE TABLE player (
    `id` VARCHAR(36),
    `coins` INTEGER,
    `goods` INTEGER,
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

JDBCExample.java is the main body of the plain-java-jdbc. TiDB is highly compatible with the MySQL protocol, so you need to initialize a MySQL source instance MysqlDataSource to connect to TiDB. Then, you can initialize PlayerDAO for object management and use it to read, edit, add, and delete data.

PlayerDAO is a class used to manage data, in which DAO means Data Access Object. The class defines a set of data manipulation methods to provide the ability to write data.

PlayerBean is a data entity class that is a mapping for tables. Each property of a PlayerBean corresponds to a field in the player table.

        PlayerBean player1 = new PlayerBean("1", 100, 0);
        PlayerBean player2 = new PlayerBean("2", 114514, 20);

        // Create two players "by hand", using the INSERT statement on the backend.
        addedCount = dao.createPlayers(Arrays.asList(player1, player2));
        System.out.printf("PlayerDAO.createPlayers:\n    => %d total inserted players\n", addedCount);

        // Player 1 wants to buy 10 goods from player 2.
        // It will cost 500 coins, but player 1 can't afford it.
        System.out.println("\nPlayerDAO.buyGoods:\n    => this trade will fail");
        int updatedCount = dao.buyGoods(player2.getId(), player1.getId(), 10, 500);
        System.out.printf("PlayerDAO.buyGoods:\n    => %d total update players\n", updatedCount);

        // So player 1 have to reduce his incoming quantity to two.
        System.out.println("\nPlayerDAO.buyGoods:\n    => this trade will success");
        updatedCount = dao.buyGoods(player2.getId(), player1.getId(), 2, 100);
        System.out.printf("PlayerDAO.buyGoods:\n    => %d total update players\n", updatedCount);
    }
}

Compared with Mybatis, the JDBC implementation might be not a best practice, because you need to write error handling logic manually and cannot reuse code easily, which makes your code slightly redundant.

Mybatis is a popular open-source Java class persistence framework. The following uses MyBatis Generator as a Maven plugin to generate the persistence layer code.

Change to the plain-java-mybatis directory:

cd plain-java-mybatis

The structure of this directory is as follows:

The automatically generated files are:

  • src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/Player.java: The Player entity class.
  • src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/PlayerMapper.java: The interface of PlayerMapper.
  • src/main/resources/mapper/PlayerMapper.xml: The XML mapping of Player. Mybatis uses this configuration to automatically generate the implementation class of the PlayerMapper interface.

The strategy for generating these files is written in mybatis-generator.xml, which is the configuration file for Mybatis Generator. There are comments in the following configuration file to describe how to use it.

Once included in the Maven plugin, you can delete the old generated files and make new ones using mvn mybatis-generate. Or you can use make gen to delete the old file and generate a new one at the same time.

Note

The property configuration.overwrite in mybatis-generator.xml only ensures that the generated Java code files are overwritten. But the XML mapping files are still written as appended. Therefore, it is recommended to delete the old file before Mybaits Generator generating a new one.

Player.java is a data entity class file generated using Mybatis Generator, which is a mapping of database tables in the application. Each property of the Player class corresponds to a field in the player table.

package com.pingcap.model;

public class Player {
    private String id;

    private Integer coins;

    private Integer goods;

    public Player(String id, Integer coins, Integer goods) {
        this.id = id;
        this.coins = coins;
        this.goods = goods;
    }

    public Player() {
        super();
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getCoins() {
        return coins;
    }

    public void setCoins(Integer coins) {
        this.coins = coins;
    }

    public Integer getGoods() {
        return goods;
    }

    public void setGoods(Integer goods) {
        this.goods = goods;
    }
}

PlayerMapper.java is a mapping interface file generated using Mybatis Generator. This file only defines the interface, and the implementation classes of interface are automatically generated using XML or annotations.

package com.pingcap.model;

import com.pingcap.model.Player;

public interface PlayerMapper {
    int deleteByPrimaryKey(String id);

    int insert(Player row);

    int insertSelective(Player row);

    Player selectByPrimaryKey(String id);

    int updateByPrimaryKeySelective(Player row);

    int updateByPrimaryKey(Player row);
}

PlayerMapper.xml is a mapping XML file generated using Mybatis Generator. Mybatis uses this to automatically generate the implementation class of the PlayerMapper interface.

Since Mybatis Generator needs to generate the source code from the table definition, the table needs to be created first. To create the table, you can use dbinit.sql.

USE test;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS player;

CREATE TABLE player (
    `id` VARCHAR(36),
    `coins` INTEGER,
    `goods` INTEGER,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Split the interface PlayerMapperEx additionally to extend from PlayerMapper and write a matching PlayerMapperEx.xml file. Avoid changing PlayerMapper.java and PlayerMapper.xml directly. This is to avoid overwrite by Mybatis Generator.

Define the added interface in PlayerMapperEx.java:

package com.pingcap.model;

import java.util.List;

public interface PlayerMapperEx extends PlayerMapper {
    Player selectByPrimaryKeyWithLock(String id);

    List<Player> selectByLimit(Integer limit);

    Integer count();
}

Define the mapping rules in PlayerMapperEx.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN" "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">
<mapper namespace="com.pingcap.model.PlayerMapperEx">

      <idArg column="id" javaType="java.lang.String" jdbcType="VARCHAR" />
      <arg column="coins" javaType="java.lang.Integer" jdbcType="INTEGER" />
      <arg column="goods" javaType="java.lang.Integer" jdbcType="INTEGER" />
    </constructor>
  </resultMap>
  <sql id="Base_Column_List">
    id, coins, goods
  </sql>

  <select id="selectByPrimaryKeyWithLock" parameterType="java.lang.String" resultMap="BaseResultMap">
    select 
    <include refid="Base_Column_List" />
    from player
    where `id` = #{id,jdbcType=VARCHAR}
    for update
  </select>

  <select id="selectByLimit" parameterType="java.lang.Integer" resultMap="BaseResultMap">
    select
    <include refid="Base_Column_List" />
    from player
    limit #{id,jdbcType=INTEGER}
  </select>

  <select id="count" resultType="java.lang.Integer">
    select count(*) from player
  </select>

</mapper>

PlayerDAO.java is a class used to manage data, in which DAO means Data Access Object. The class defines a set of data manipulation methods for writing data. In it, Mybatis encapsulates a large number of operations such as object mapping and CRUD of basic objects, which greatly simplifies the code.

Compared with Hibernate, the JDBC implementation might be not a best practice, because you need to write error handling logic manually and cannot reuse code easily, which makes your code slightly redundant.

Hibernate is a popular open-source Java ORM, and it supports TiDB dialect starting from v6.0.0.Beta2, which fits TiDB features well. The following instructions take v6.0.0.Beta2 as an example.

Change to the plain-java-hibernate directory:

cd plain-java-hibernate

The structure of this directory is as follows:

.
├── Makefile
├── plain-java-hibernate.iml
├── pom.xml
└── src
    └── main
        ├── java
        │   └── com
        │       └── pingcap
        │           └── HibernateExample.java
        └── resources
            └── hibernate.cfg.xml

hibernate.cfg.xml is the Hibernate configuration file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

HibernateExample.java is the main body of the plain-java-hibernate. Compared with JDBC, when using Hibernate, you only need to write the path of the configuration file, because Hibernate avoids differences in database creation between different databases.

PlayerDAO is a class used to manage data, in which DAO means Data Access Object. The class defines a set of data manipulation methods for writing data. Compared with JDBC, Hibernate encapsulates a large number of operations such as object mapping and CRUD of basic objects, which greatly simplifies the code.

PlayerBean is a data entity class that is a mapping for tables. Each property of a PlayerBean corresponds to a field in the player table. Compared with JDBC, PlayerBean in Hibernate adds annotations to indicate mapping relationships for more information.

}

Step 3. Run the code

The following content introduces how to run the code step by step.

Step 3.1 Table initialization

  • Using JDBC
  • Using Mybatis (Recommended)
  • Using Hibernate (Recommended)

When using JDBC, you need to initialize the database tables manually. If you are using a local cluster, and MySQL client has been installed locally, you can run it directly in the plain-java-jdbc directory:

make mysql

Or you can execute the following command:

mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root<src/main/resources/dbinit.sql

If you are using a non-local cluster or MySQL client has not been installed, connect to your cluster and run the statement in the src/main/resources/dbinit.sql file.

When using JDBC, you need to connect to your cluster and run the statement in the src/main/resources/dbinit.sql file to initialize the database tables manually.

When using Mybatis, you need to initialize the database tables manually. If you are using a local cluster, and MySQL client has been installed locally, you can run it directly in the plain-java-mybatis directory:

make prepare

Or you can execute the following command:

mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root < src/main/resources/dbinit.sql

If you are using a non-local cluster or MySQL client has not been installed, connect to your cluster and run the statement in the src/main/resources/dbinit.sql file.

No need to initialize tables manually.

Step 3.2 Modify parameters for TiDB Cloud

  • Using JDBC
  • Using Mybatis (Recommended)
  • Using Hibernate (Recommended)

If you are using a non-local default cluster, such as TiDB Cloud or other remote clusters, modify the parameters of the host, port, user, and password in JDBCExample.java:

mysqlDataSource.setServerName("localhost");
mysqlDataSource.setPortNumber(4000);
mysqlDataSource.setDatabaseName("test");
mysqlDataSource.setUser("root");
mysqlDataSource.setPassword("");

Suppose that the password you set is 123456 and the connection string you get from TiDB Cloud is the following:

mysql --connect-timeout 15 -u root -h xxx.tidbcloud.com -P 4000 -p

In this case, you can modify the parameters as follows:

mysqlDataSource.setServerName("xxx.tidbcloud.com");
mysqlDataSource.setPortNumber(4000);
mysqlDataSource.setDatabaseName("test");
mysqlDataSource.setUser("root");
mysqlDataSource.setPassword("123456");

If you are using a non-local default cluster, such as TiDB Cloud or other remote cluster, modify the dataSource.url, dataSource.username, dataSource.password in mybatis-config.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE configuration
        PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"

    <environments default="development">
        <environment id="development">
            <!-- JDBC transaction manager -->
            <transactionManager type="JDBC"/>
            <!-- Database pool -->
            <dataSource type="POOLED">
                <property name="driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
                <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:4000/test"/>
                <property name="username" value="root"/>
                <property name="password" value=""/>

    <mappers>
        <mapper resource="mapper/PlayerMapper.xml"/>
        <mapper resource="mapper/PlayerMapperEx.xml"/>
    </mappers>

</configuration>

Suppose that the password you set is 123456 and the connection string you get from TiDB Cloud is the following:

mysql --connect-timeout 15 -u root -h xxx.tidbcloud.com -P 4000 -p

In this case, you can modify the parameters in dataSource node as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE configuration
        PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"
        "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">

        ...
            <!-- Database pool -->
            <dataSource type="POOLED">
                <property name="driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
                <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://xxx.tidbcloud.com:4000/test"/>
                <property name="username" value="root"/>
                <property name="password" value="123456"/>
            </dataSource>
        ...

</configuration>

If you are using a non-local default cluster, such as TiDB Cloud or other remote cluster, modify the hibernate.connection.url, hibernate.connection.username, hibernate.connection.password in hibernate.cfg.xml.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"

        <property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>

        <!-- Required so a table can be created from the 'PlayerDAO' class -->
        <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>

        <!-- Optional: Show SQL output for debugging -->
        <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>

Suppose that the password you set is 123456 and the connection string you get from TiDB Cloud is the following:

mysql --connect-timeout 15 -u root -h xxx.tidbcloud.com -P 4000 -p

In this case, you can modify the parameters as follows:

Step 3.3 Run

  • Using JDBC
  • Using Mybatis (Recommended)
  • Using Hibernate (Recommended)

To run the code, you can run make build and make run respectively:

make build # this command executes `mvn clean package`
make run # this command executes `java -jar target/plain-java-jdbc-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar`

Or you can use the native commands:

mvn clean package
java -jar target/plain-java-jdbc-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Or run the make command directly, which is a combination of make build and make run.

To run the code, you can run make prepare, make gen, make build and make run respectively:

make prepare
# this command executes :
# - `mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root < src/main/resources/dbinit.sql`
# - `mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root -e "TRUNCATE test.player"`

make gen
# this command executes :
# - `rm -f src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/Player.java`
# - `rm -f src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/PlayerMapper.java`
# - `rm -f src/main/resources/mapper/PlayerMapper.xml`
# - `mvn mybatis-generator:generate`

make build # this command executes `mvn clean package`
make run # this command executes `java -jar target/plain-java-mybatis-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar`

Or you can use the native commands:

mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root < src/main/resources/dbinit.sql
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -u root -e "TRUNCATE test.player"
rm -f src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/Player.java
rm -f src/main/java/com/pingcap/model/PlayerMapper.java
rm -f src/main/resources/mapper/PlayerMapper.xml
mvn mybatis-generator:generate
mvn clean package
java -jar target/plain-java-mybatis-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Or run the make command directly, which is a combination of make prepare, make gen, make build and make run.

To run the code, you can run make build and make run respectively:

make build # this command executes `mvn clean package`
make run # this command executes `java -jar target/plain-java-jdbc-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar`

Or you can use the native commands:

mvn clean package
java -jar target/plain-java-jdbc-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Or run the make command directly, which is a combination of make build and make run.
