This article shows how to integrate JSF2, PrimeFaces3, Spring3 and Hibernate4 Technologies. It provides a general project template for Java developers.
Also if Spring is not used for Business and Data Access layer,
JSF –PrimeFaces & Hibernate Integration Project can be offered.
Used Technologies :
JDK 1.6.0_31
Spring 3.1.1
JSF 2.1
Hibernate 4.1.0
Primefaces 3.1.1
MySQL Connector 5.1.17
MySQL 5.5.8
c3p0 0.9.1.2
Tomcat 7.0
Maven 3.0.2
STEP 1 : CREATE MAVEN PROJECT
A maven project is created as below. (It can be created by using Maven or IDE Plug-in).
STEP 2 : CREATE USER TABLE
A new USER Table is created by executing below script:
CREATE TABLE USER (
id int(11) NOT NULL,
name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
surname varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
STEP 3 : LIBRARIES
Spring, JSF, Hibernate, Primefaces, MySQL and c3p0 dependencies are added to Maven’ s pom.xml.

STEP 4 : CREATE USER MODEL CLASS
A new User Model Class is created.
package com.otv.model;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
/**
*
*User Entity
*@author onlinetechvision.com
*@since 25 Mar 2012
*@version 1.0.0
*
*/
@Entity@Table(name="USER")
public class User {
private int id;
private String name;
private String surname;
/**
* Get User Id
*
* @return int - User Id
*/
@Id
@Column(name="ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
public int getId() {
return id;
}
/**
* Set User Id
*
* @param int - User Id
*/
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
/**
* Get User Name
*
* @return String - User Name
*/
@Column(name="NAME", unique = true, nullable = false)
public String getName() {
return name;
}
/**
* Set User Name
*
*@param String - User Name
*/
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
/**
* Get User Surname
*
* @return String - User Surname
*/
@Column(name="SURNAME", unique = true, nullable = false)
public String getSurname() {
return surname;
}
/**
* Set User Surname
*
* @param String - User Surname
*/
public void setSurname(String surname) {
this.surname = surname;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
StringBuffer strBuff = new StringBuffer();
strBuff.append("id : ").append(getId());
strBuff.append(", name : ").append(getName());
strBuff.append(", surname : ").append(getSurname());
return strBuff.toString();
}
}
STEP 5 : CREATE USER MANAGED BEAN CLASS
User Managed Bean is created.
package com.otv.managed.bean;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedProperty;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException;
import com.otv.model.User;
import com.otv.user.service.IUserService;
/**
*
* User Managed Bean
*
* @author onlinetechvision.com
* @since 25 Mar 2012
* @version 1.0.0
*
*/
@ManagedBean(name="userMB")
@RequestScoped
public class UserManagedBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static final String SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String ERROR = "error";
//Spring User Service is injected...
@ManagedProperty(value="#{UserService}")
IUserService userService;
List<User> userList;
private int id;
private String name;
private String surname;
/**
* Add User
*
* @return String - Response Message
*/
public String addUser() {
try {
User user = new User();
user.setId(getId());
user.setName(getName());
user.setSurname(getSurname());
getUserService().addUser(user);
return SUCCESS;
}catch (DataAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return ERROR;
}
/**
* Reset Fields
*
*/
public void reset() {
this.setId(0);
this.setName("");
this.setSurname("");
}
/**
* Get User List
*
* @return List - User List
*/
public List<User> getUserList() {
userList = new ArrayList<User>();
userList.addAll(getUserService().getUsers());
return userList;
}
/**
* Get User Service
*
* @return IUserService - User Service
*/
public IUserService getUserService() {
return userService;
}
/**
* Set User Service
*
* @param IUserService - User Service
*/
public void setUserService(IUserService userServic{
this.userService = userService;
}
/**
* Set User List
*
* @param List - User List
*/
public void setUserList(List<User> userList) {
this.userList = userList;
}
/**
* Get User Id
*
* @return int - User Id
*/
public int getId() {
return id;
}
/**
* Set User Id
*
* @param int - User Id
*/
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
/**
* Get User Name
*
* @return String - User Name
*/
public String getName() {
return name;
}
/**
* Set User Name
*
* @param String - User Name
*/
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
/**
* Get User Surname
*
* @return String - User Surname
*/
public String getSurname() {
return surname;
}
/**
* Set User Surname
*
* @param String - User Surname
*/
public void setSurname(String surname) {
this.surname = surname;
}
}
STEP 6 : CREATE IUserDAO INTERFACE
IUserDAO Interface provides methods of Data Access Layer. The data access layer manages all the logic to persist and retrieve the data from database.
package com.otv.user.dao;
import java.util.List;
import com.otv.model.User;
/**
*
* User DAO Interface
*
* @author onlinetechvision.com
* @since 25 Mar 2012
* @version 1.0.0
*
*/
public interface IUserDAO {
/**
* Add User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void addUser(User user);
/**
* Update User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void updateUser(User user);
/**
* Delete User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void deleteUser(User user);
/**
* Get User
*
* @param int User Id
*/
public User getUserById(int id);
/**
* Get User List
*
*/
public List<User> getUsers();}
STEP 7 : CREATE UserDAO CLASS
UserDAO Class is created by implementing IUserDAO Interface.
package com.otv.user.dao;
import java.util.List;
import com.otv.model.User;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
/**
*
* User DAO
*
* @author onlinetechvision.com
* @since 25 Mar 2012
* @version 1.0.0
*
*/
public class UserDAO implements IUserDAO {
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
/**
* Get Hibernate Session Factory
*
* @return SessionFactory - Hibernate Session Factory
*/
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
/**
* Set Hibernate Session Factory
*
* @param SessionFactory - Hibernate Session Factory
*/
public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}
/**
* Add User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Override
public void addUser(User user) {
getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().save(user);
}
/**
* Delete User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Override
public void deleteUser(User user) {
getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().delete(user);
}
/**
* Update User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Override
public void updateUser(User user) {
getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().update(user);
}
/**
* Get User
*
* @param int User Id
* @return User
*/
@Override
public User getUserById(int id) {
List list = getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().createQuery("from User where id=?").setParameter(0, id).list();
return (User)list.get(0);
}
/**
* Get User List
*
* @return List - User list
*/
@Override
public List<User> getUsers() {
List list = getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().createQuery("from User").list();
return list;
}
}
STEP 8 : CREATE IUserService INTERFACE
IUserService Interface provides methods to process the business logic.
package com.otv.user.service;
import java.util.List;
import com.otv.model.User;
/**
*
* User Service Interface
*
* @author onlinetechvision.com
* @since 25 Mar 2012
* @version 1.0.0
*
*/
public interface IUserService {
/**
* Add User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void addUser(User user);
/**
* Update User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void updateUser(User user);
/**
* Delete User
*
* @param User user
*/
public void deleteUser(User user);
/**
* Get User
*
* @param int User Id
*/
public User getUserById(int id);
/**
* Get User List
*
* @return List - User list
*/
public List<User> getUsers();
}
STEP 9 : CREATE UserService CLASS
UserService Class is created by implementing IUserService Interface.
package com.otv.user.service;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional; import com.otv.model.User;import com.otv.user.dao.IUserDAO;
/**
*
* User Service
*
* @author onlinetechvision.com
* @since 25 Mar 2012
* @version 1.0.0
*
*/@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class UserService implements IUserService {
// UserDAO is injected...
IUserDAO userDAO;
/**
* Add User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
@Override
public void addUser(User user) {
getUserDAO().addUser(user);
}
/**
* Delete User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
@Override
public void deleteUser(User user) {
getUserDAO().deleteUser(user);
}
/**
* Update User
*
* @param User user
*/
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
@Override
public void updateUser(User user) {
getUserDAO().updateUser(user);
}
/**
* Get User
*
* @param int User Id
*/
@Override
public User getUserById(int id) {
return getUserDAO().getUserById(id);
}
/**
* Get User List
*
*/
@Override
public List<User> getUsers() {
return getUserDAO().getUsers();
}
/**
* Get User DAO
*
* @return IUserDAO - User DAO
*/
public IUserDAO getUserDAO() {
return userDAO;
}
/**
* Set User DAO
*
* @param IUserDAO - User DAO
*/
public void setUserDAO(IUserDAO userDAO) {
this.userDAO = userDAO;
}
}
