= Eclipse JNoSQL :toc: auto
== Introduction
Eclipse JNoSQL is a compatible implementation of the https://jakarta.ee/specifications/nosql/[Jakarta NoSQL] and https://jakarta.ee/specifications/data/[Jakarta Data] specifications, a Java framework that streamlines the integration of Java applications with NoSQL databases.
== Goals
== One Mapping API to Multiples NoSQL Databases
Eclipse JNoSQL provides one API for each NoSQL database type. However, it incorporates the same annotations from the https://jakarta.ee/specifications/persistence/[Jakarta Persistence] specification and heritage Java Persistence API (JPA) to map Java objects. Therefore, with just these annotations that look like JPA, there is support for more than twenty NoSQL databases.
@Entity public class Car {
@Id
private Long id;
@Column
private String name;
@Column
private CarType type;
Theses annotations from the Mapping API will look familiar to the Jakarta Persistence/JPA developer:
[cols="Annotation description"] |=== |Annotation|Description
|@jakarta.nosql.Entity
|Specifies that the class is an entity. This annotation is applied to the entity class.
|@jakarta.nosql.Id
|Specifies the primary key of an entity.
|@jakarta.nosql.Column
|Specify the mapped column for a persistent property or field.
|@jakarta.nosql.Embeddable
|Specifies a class whose instances are stored as an intrinsic part of an owning entity and share the entity's identity.
|@jakarta.nosql.Convert
|Specifies the conversion of a Basic field or property.
|@org.eclipse.jnosql.mapping.MappedSuperclass
|Designates a class whose mapping information is applied to the entities that inherit from it. A mapped superclass has no separate table defined for it.
|@jakarta.nosql.Inheritance
|Specifies the inheritance strategy to be used for an entity class hierarchy.
|@jakarta.nosql.DiscriminatorColumn
|Specifies the discriminator column for the mapping strategy.
|@jakarta.nosql.DiscriminatorValue
|Specifies the value of the discriminator column for entities of the given type.
|===
IMPORTANT: Although similar to JPA, Jakarta NoSQL defines persistable fields with either the @Id
or @Column
annotation.
After mapping an entity, you can explore the advantage of using a Template
interface, which can increase productivity on NoSQL operations.
@Inject Template template; ...
Car ferrari = Car.id(1L) .name("Ferrari") .type(CarType.SPORT);
template.insert(ferrari);
Optional
This template has specialization to take advantage of a particular NoSQL database type.
A Repository
interface is also provided for exploring the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) pattern for a higher abstraction.
public interface CarRepository extends PageableRepository<Car, String> {
Optional<Car> findByName(String name);
}
@Inject CarRepository repository; ...
Car ferrari = Car.id(1L) .name("Ferrari") .type(CarType.SPORT);
== Getting Started
Eclipse JNoSQL requires these minimum requirements:
=== NoSQL Database Types
Eclipse JNoSQL provides common annotations and interfaces. Thus, the same annotations and interfaces, Template
and Repository
, will work on the four NoSQL database types.
As a reference implementation for Jakarta NoSQL, Eclipse JNosql provides particular behavior to the database type required by the specification, including the Graph database type, it means, Eclipse JNoSQL covers the four NoSQL database types:
=== Key-Value
Jakarta NoSQL provides a Key-Value template to explore the specific behavior of this NoSQL type.
Eclipse JNoSQL offers a mapping implementation for Key-Value NoSQL types:
Furthermore, check for a Key-Value databases. You can find some implementations in the https://github.com/eclipse/jnosql-databases[JNoSQL Databases].
@Inject KeyValueTemplate template; ...
Car ferrari = Car.id(1L).name("ferrari").city("Rome").type(CarType.SPORT);
Key-Value is database agnostic. Thus, you can change the database in your application with no or minimal impact on source code.
You can define the database settings using the https://microprofile.io/microprofile-config/[MicroProfile Config] specification, so you can add properties and overwrite it in the environment following the https://12factor.net/config[Twelve-Factor App].
TIP: The jnosql.keyvalue.provider
property is necessary when you have more than one driver in the classpath. Otherwise, it will take the first one.
These configuration settings are the default behavior. Nevertheless, there is an option to programmatically configure these settings. Create a class that implements the Supplier<BucketManager>
interface and then define it using the @Alternative
and @Priority
annotations.
@Alternative
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION)
@ApplicationScoped
public class ManagerSupplier implements Supplier
@Produces
public BucketManager get() {
Settings settings = Settings.builder()
.put("credential", "value")
.build();
KeyValueConfiguration configuration = new NoSQLKeyValueProvider();
BucketManagerFactory factory = configuration.apply(settings);
return factory.apply("database");
}
You can work with several Key-Value database instances through the CDI qualifier. To identify each database instance, make a BucketManager
visible for CDI by adding the @Produces
and the @Database
annotations in the method.
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.KEY_VALUE, provider = "databaseA") private KeyValueTemplate templateA;
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.KEY_VALUE, provider = "databaseB") private KeyValueTemplate templateB;
// producers methods @Produces @Database(value = DatabaseType.KEY_VALUE, provider = "databaseA") public BucketManager getManagerA() { BucketManager manager = // instance; return manager; }
The KeyValue Database module provides a simple way to integrate the KeyValueDatabase
annotation with CDI, allowing you to inject collections managed by the key-value database. This annotation works seamlessly with various collections, such as List, Set, Queue, and Map.
To inject collections managed by the key-value database, use the @KeyValueDatabase
annotation in combination with CDI's @Inject
annotation. Here's how you can use it:
import javax.inject.Inject;
// Inject a List
// Inject a Set
// Inject a Queue
=== Column Family
Jakarta NoSQL provides a Column Family template to explore the specific behavior of this NoSQL type.
Furthermore, check for a Column Family databases. You can find some implementations in the https://github.com/eclipse/jnosql-databases[JNoSQL Databases].
@Inject ColumnTemplate template; ...
Car ferrari = Car.id(1L) .name("ferrari").city("Rome") .type(CarType.SPORT);
template.insert(ferrari);
Optional
template.delete(Car.class).where("id").eq(1L).execute();
Column Family is database agnostic. Thus, you can change the database in your application with no or minimal impact on source code.
You can define the database settings using the https://microprofile.io/microprofile-config/[MicroProfile Config] specification, so you can add properties and overwrite it in the environment following the https://12factor.net/config[Twelve-Factor App].
TIP: The jnosql.column.provider
property is necessary when you have more than one driver in the classpath. Otherwise, it will take the first one.
These configuration settings are the default behavior. Nevertheless, there is an option to programmatically configure these settings. Create a class that implements the Supplier<ColumnManager>
interface, then define it using the @Alternative
and @Priority
annotations.
@Alternative
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICrATION)
@ApplicationScoped
public class ManagerSupplier implements Supplier
@Produces
@Database(DatabaseType.COLUMN)
public DatabaseManager get() {
Settings settings = Settings.builder()
.put("credential", "value")
.build();
DatabaseConfiguration configuration = new NoSQLColumnProvider();
DatabaseManagerFactory factory = configuration.apply(settings);
return factory.apply("database");
}
You can work with several column database instances through CDI qualifier. To identify each database instance, make a ColumnManager
visible for CDI by putting the @Produces
and the @Database
annotations in the method.
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.COLUMN, provider = "databaseA") private ColumnTemplate templateA;
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.COLUMN, provider = "databaseB") private ColumnTemplate templateB;
// producers methods @Produces @Database(value = DatabaseType.COLUMN, provider = "databaseA") public ColumnManager getManagerA() { return manager; }
=== Document
Jakarta NoSQL provides a Document template to explore the specific behavior of this NoSQL type.
Eclipse JNoSQL offers a mapping implementation for Document NoSQL types:
Furthermore, check for a Document databases. You can find some implementations in the https://github.com/eclipse/jnosql-databases[JNoSQL Databases].
@Inject DocumentTemplate template; ...
Car ferrari = Car.id(1L) .name("ferrari") .city("Rome") .type(CarType.SPORT);
template.insert(ferrari);
Optional
template.delete(Car.class).where("id").eq(1L).execute();
Document is database agnostic. Thus, you can change the database in your application with no or minimal impact on source code.
You can define the database settings using the https://microprofile.io/microprofile-config/[MicroProfile Config] specification, so you can add properties and overwrite it in the environment following the https://12factor.net/config[Twelve-Factor App].
TIP: The jnosql.document.provider
property is necessary when you have more than one driver in the classpath. Otherwise, it will take the first one.
These configuration settings are the default behavior. Nevertheless, there is an option to programmatically configure these settings. Create a class that implements the Supplier<DocumentManager>
, then define it using the @Alternative
and @Priority
annotations.
@Alternative
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION)
@ApplicationScoped
public class ManagerSupplier implements Supplier
@Produces
@Database(DatabaseType.DOCUMENT)
public DatabaseManager get() {
Settings settings = Settings.builder()
.put("credential", "value")
.build();
DatabaseConfiguration configuration = new NoSQLDocumentProvider();
DatabaseManagerFactory factory = configuration.apply(settings);
return factory.apply("database");
}
You can work with several document database instances through CDI qualifier. To identify each database instance, make a DocumentManager
visible for CDI by putting the @Produces
and the @Database
annotations in the method.
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.DOCUMENT, provider = "databaseA") private DocumentTemplate templateA;
@Inject @Database(value = DatabaseType.DOCUMENT, provider = "databaseB") private DocumentTemplate templateB;
// producers methods @Produces @Database(value = DatabaseType.DOCUMENT, provider = "databaseA") public DocumentManager getManagerA() { return manager; }
