JPA (Java Persistence API) is a Java persistence specification proposed by Sun. Provides an object/relational mapping tool for Java developers to manage relational data in Java applications. The overall idea of JPA is broadly consistent with existing ORM frameworks such as Hibernate and TopLink. In general, JPA includes the following 3 areas of technology:
First: ORM Mapping meta-data
JPA supports both XML and JDK annotations (also translated as annotations) in the form of metadata that describes the mapping between objects and tables, which in turn persists entity objects into database tables.
Second: Java Persistence API
Used to manipulate entity objects, perform crud operations, and the framework will do everything for us in the background, and developers can get out of the tedious JDBC and SQL code.
Third: Query Language
This is an important aspect of persistent operations, querying data through object-oriented rather than database-oriented query language to avoid tightly coupling the SQL statements of the program.
Now use the first technique to implement a one-to-many mapping that corresponds to MySQL. One-to-many processing is handled in two ways, the first being mapped to the third table, and the second being mapped to the primary foreign key relationship.
The jar package that needs to be referenced, in addition to the Hibernate jar package, also:
The first one: as many foreign keys as the primary key

Hibernate.cfg.xml

Configure () ; Schemaexport export = new Schemaexport (CFG); Export.create (true, True);}}
The resulting database table is as follows:
T_group table:T_user table:
Summary: From the two data tables above you can see the ID of one end (T_group) as the foreign key exists in the multi-terminal (T_user), generating a field called group_id as a side (T_group) in the multi-terminal (T_user ) of the foreign key.
If I want this one-to-many relationship to be reflected in the database as a third table rather than a foreign key relationship, how do I write JPA annotations? We'll talk about the next blog post.
