The following section shows how to map a Java java.util.Map to database table.

Example

The following code is from Employee.java.

package com.java2s.common;


import java.util.Map;

import javax.persistence.CollectionTable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.ElementCollection;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.MapKeyColumn;

@Entity
public class Employee {
    @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private long salary;

    @ElementCollection
    @CollectionTable(name="EMP_PHONE")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="PHONE_TYPE")
    @Column(name="PHONE_NUM")
    private Map<String, String> phoneNumbers;
            
    @ManyToOne
    private Department department;

    
    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 long getSalary() {
        return salary;
    }

    public void setSalary(long salary) {
        this.salary = salary;
    }
    
    public Department getDepartment() {
        return department;
    }
    
    public void setDepartment(Department department) {
        this.department = department;
    }

    public Map<String, String> getPhoneNumbers() {
        return phoneNumbers;
    }

    public void setPhoneNumbers(Map<String, String> phoneNumbers) {
        this.phoneNumbers = phoneNumbers;
    }

    public String toString() {
        StringBuffer aBuffer = new StringBuffer("Employee ");
        aBuffer.append(" id: ");
        aBuffer.append(id);
        aBuffer.append(" with dept: ");
        if(null != department) {
            aBuffer.append(department.getName());
        }
        aBuffer.append(" phoneNumbers: ");
        for (Map.Entry e : phoneNumbers.entrySet()) {
            aBuffer.append(e.getKey() + "[" + e.getValue() + "] ");
        }        
        return aBuffer.toString();
    }
}

Here is the database table dump.

Table Name: DEPARTMENT
 Row:
    Column Name: ID,
    Column Type: INTEGER:
    Column Value: 1

    Column Name: NAME,
    Column Type: VARCHAR:
    Column Value: test





Table Name: EMPLOYEE
 Row:
    Column Name: ID,
    Column Type: INTEGER:
    Column Value: 1

    Column Name: NAME,
    Column Type: VARCHAR:
    Column Value: Tom

    Column Name: SALARY,
    Column Type: BIGINT:
    Column Value: 0

    Column Name: DEPARTMENT_ID,
    Column Type: INTEGER:
