Many to Many Mapping in hibernate by map Example (using xml file)

We can map many to many relation either using set, bag, map etc. Here, we are going to use map for many-to-many mapping. In such case, three tables will be created.

Example of Many to Many Mapping

You need to create following pages for mapping map elements.

Question.java
User.java
question.hbm.xml
user.hbm.xml
hibernate.cfg.xml
StoreTest.java
FetchTest.java

Question.java

package com.javatpoint;

import java.util.Map;

public class Question {
private int id;
private String name;
private Map<String,User> answers;

public Question() {}
public Question(String name, Map<String, User> answers) {
	super();
	this.name = name;
	this.answers = answers;
}
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;
}
public Map<String, User> getAnswers() {
	return answers;
}
public void setAnswers(Map<String, User> answers) {
	this.answers = answers;
}


}

User.java

package com.javatpoint;

public class User {
private int id;
private String username,email,country;

public User() {}
public User(String username, String email, String country) {
	super();
	this.username = username;
	this.email = email;
	this.country = country;
}
public int getId() {
	return id;
}

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

public String getUsername() {
	return username;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
	this.username = username;
}

public String getEmail() {
	return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {
	this.email = email;
}

public String getCountry() {
	return country;
}

public void setCountry(String country) {
	this.country = country;
}
}
