7 months ago Woohoo! Great job implementing Hibernate in your indie project already @redfoxanna! Your implementation is on target - no nitpicks here!
One suggestion for this coming week:
- [ ] Verifying the entities are saved/updated/inserted correctly can be more thorough by implementing and using equals() on each entity - refer to the video Comparing Hibernate Entities with equals in week 5 for more detail. An example of using that equals method in a unit test would be something like
assertTrue(expectedUser.equals(actualUser));so that you don't have to compare each instance var/column manually: https://github.com/redfoxanna/diamond-poems/blob/7ce03532bba031f773a7102d41c26f5951c42cb7/src/test/java/com/redfoxanna/persistence/UserDaoTest.java#L47
Hi @pawaitemadisoncollege! I decided to do this week's exercise with my individual project but might go back to the BookSeller exercise if I have time just to practice. I had to go back over the videos a bit and reach out for some help but overall I think this was a good week. This weekend/next week I will start on adding a Poem entity and also some jsps with controllers to make sure everything is working well together.
I also might want to go back and add some instance variables to my User class (like email) once I get more of my application together.
Have a good weekend!
