Modifying the Code to Extend our Simple JDBC App
File -> New -> Class
Package: com.skills421.examples
Name: Person
Now Create a simple POJO called Person as follows:
package com.skills421.examples;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Person implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Integer personId;
private String name;
private Integer age;
private Float height;
public Person()
{
}
public Person(String name, Integer age, Float height)
{
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.height = height;
}
// getters and setters
}
We want to use ToStringBuilder so let’s add the Apache Commons Lang dependency to the Pom.xml
Whilst we’re at it, let’s also add the Postgres Dependency

Now let’s go back to our POJO and add the Hibernate Annotations and toString method to give us:
package com.skills421.examples;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.ToStringBuilder;
@Entity
public class Person implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE)
private Integer personId;
private String name;
private Integer age;
private Float height;
public Person()
{
}
public Person(String name, Integer age, Float height)
{
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.height = height;
}
// getters and setters
public String toString()
{
return new ToStringBuilder(this)
.append(personId)
.append(name)
.append(age)
.append(height)
.toString();
}
}
Now let’s modify the HibernateConfiguration to connect to Postgres, as follows
