The work I am going to present was really inspired by the following blog posting:
http://www.nileshk.com/node/66
But I wanted to change the implementation somewhat, and add more methods that made sense to my problem domain. So what I am going to present is an extension to the above blog posting. The purpose of this is not to suggest that one implementation is better or worse, they are just different and I actually hope that perhaps my implementation will inspire someone else in their work.
The AbstractDao interface looks like the following - with nearly every comment removed for clarity. I hope the method names are suggestive enough:
package com.redpointtech.dao;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
/**
* borrowed heavily from: http://www.nileshk.com/node/66
*/
public interface AbstractDao <DomainObject, KeyType> {
void update(DomainObject object);
void refresh(DomainObject object);
void save(DomainObject object);
Long saveOrUpdate(DomainObject object);
void saveAll(Collection<DomainObject> objects);
DomainObject load(KeyType id);
List<DomainObject> findAll();
List<DomainObject> findAllOrderById();
DomainObject findById(KeyType id);
List<DomainObject> findByIds(Collection<KeyType> idList);
List<DomainObject> findAllOrderByProp(String propertyName, Boolean asc);
int deleteAll();
void deleteAll(Collection<DomainObject> objects);
void delete(DomainObject object);
void deleteById(KeyType id);
int deleteByIds(Collection<KeyType> ids);
int count();
}
The Implementation looks as follows:
package com.redpointtech.dao;
import static org.springframework.util.CollectionUtils.isEmpty;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;

I incorporated this into my Redpoint Notes reference project and I will show how that looks for the DAO hierarchy.
NotesDao
package com.redpointtech.dao;
import java.util.List;
import com.redpointtech.domain.Note;
public interface NotesDao {
List<Note> getAllNotes();
Long saveOrUpdate(Note note);
}
HibernateNotesDao Interface
package com.redpointtech.dao;
import com.redpointtech.domain.Note;
public interface HibernateNotesDao extends NotesDao,
AbstractDao<Note, Long> {
}
HibernateNotesDaoImpl
package com.redpointtech.dao.impl;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import com.redpointtech.dao.AbstractHibernateDaoImpl;
import com.redpointtech.dao.HibernateNotesDao;
import com.redpointtech.domain.Note;
@Repository("hibernateNotesDao")
public class HibernateNotesDaoImpl extends AbstractHibernateDaoImpl<Note, Long>
implements HibernateNotesDao {
@Override
public List<Note> getAllNotes() {
List<Note> notes = this.findAll();
return notes;
}
}
As you can see I wrote virtually no code beyond what the abstract generic implementation gives me - and the getAllNotes is really contrived just to show how you would add a specific DAO method.
Using this kind of generic Hibernate DAO has saved us a lot of time and I hope you find this useful as well.
