How to save multiple objects via ArrayList in hibernate?

Hadrian Blackwater :

I have a Student entity. My idea is to collect multiple student objects in an ArrayList and save all objects from that list to the database. When do you use @ElementCollection annotation? Does it apply to situations like this?

Student:

package basic;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class Student {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private int id;
    private String name;

    public Student() {

    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

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

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Student [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + "]";
    }

    public Student(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

}

Runner:

package basic;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class Runner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure("/basic/hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        List<Student> students = new ArrayList<>();

        students.add(new Student("Michael"));
        students.add(new Student("Dave"));
        students.add(new Student("Tom"));
        students.add(new Student("Dinesh"));
        students.add(new Student("Lakshman"));
        students.add(new Student("Cruise"));

        session.save(students);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
        session.close();
    }

}

Error

ByeBye :

You have to do something like this:

for(Student student : students) {
    session.save(student);
}

If you want to save entity you should map it. ArrayList<> is not mapped entity. Student has mapping so you should save it separately.
