Main class

package com.practice.hibernateDemo;

import com.practice.hibernateDemo.enity.Laptop;

import com.practice.hibernateDemo.enity.StudentName;

public class CreateStudent {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Laptop laptop = new Laptop();
        laptop.setLid(100);
        laptop.setlName("HP");      
        
        Student student = new Student();
        
        student.setId(101);
        student.setEmail("test@gmail.com");
        student.setStudentName(new StudentName("test1","test2", "test3"));
        student.getLaptop().add(laptop);
        
        Configuration con = new Configuration().configure().addAnnotatedClass(Student.class).addAnnotatedClass(Laptop.class);

        SessionFactory sf = con.buildSessionFactory();

        Session session = sf.getCurrentSession();

        Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
        
        session.save(laptop);
        session.save(student);
        
        tx.commit();
    }

}

After saving the object , foreign key in laptop table is setting as null

lid lName student_id 100 HP NULL

Anyone know where I did wrong mapping due to which I am getting foreign key as null

Thanksin advance

Answer

The “many” side of a 1:many relationship is always the owning side. If the relationship is bidirectional, then the other side will carry a mappedBy attribute, just like the non-owning side of a bidirectional 1:1 relationship. It is the relationship field on the owning side that is meaningful for conveying the relationship to the persistence layer, and you have failed to set that.

For example,

laptop.setStudent(student);
