Replacing SchemaExport(Configuration) in Hibernate 5

Question

While migrating from Hibernate 4 to 5 I came across the deprecation and eventual removal of the SchemaExport(Configuration) constructor. What is a good alternative in Hibernate 5?

Use case

During testing we create a SchemaExport instance with a configuration that had some properties set and defines mapping resources:

// somewhere else `Properties` are filled and passed as a parameter
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect");
properties.put("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver");
// more properties ...

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.setProperties(testProperties);
// parameter `String... mappingResources`
for (final String mapping : mappingResources) {
    configuration.addResource(mapping);
}

// this doesn't compile
SchemaExport schemaExport = new SchemaExport(configuration);

The last line does not compile on Hibernate 5 because the constructor was removed.

Options

The deprecation recommends to use the SchemaExport(MetadataImplementor) constructor, but I struggle to find a good way to create a MetadataImplementor instance. I found a few options, but they all look fishy to me.

The only concrete implementations in Hibernate that I could find are MetadataImpl and InFlightMetadataCollectorImpl, but both are in org.hibernate.boot.internal, so I assume I'm not supposed to use them. Also, MetadataImpl has a massive constructor in which I need to provide every little detail and InFlightMetadataCollectorImpl needs a MetadataBuildingOptions, which has the same problems as MetadataImplementor (implementation is internal and hard to construct).

Alternatively, it looks like MetadataBuilderImpl might be a handy way to construct a MetadataImplementor, but it's also internal.

Either way, I couldn't find out how to set Properties (or their entries) on a MetadataImplementor (or MetadataBuilderImpl for that matter).

Question

Is a MetadataImplementor really required to create a SchemaExport? If so, how do I get one from a supported API and how do I set Properties?

Eventually we want to execute a script with execute, but the signature changed here as well. I see it now takes a ServiceRegistry, so maybe that would be a way out?

EDIT

Argh, I just saw that in 5.2 (which I want to use) SchemaExport does not even take a MetadataImplementor any longer - only the parameterless constructor remains. What now?

which bootstrapts the Metadata and the ServiceRegistry.

So, we can call the SchemaExport like this:

new SchemaExport().create( EnumSet.of( TargetType.DATABASE ), metadata() );

I don't have a `ServiceRegistryBuilder` on my class path, only a `StandardServiceRegistryBuilder`. And it looks like the cast to `MetadataImplementor` is unnecessary in 5.2 because `SchemaExport` accepts `Metadata`. — Nicolai Parlog, Nov 23 '17 at 12:26

Distilling from other answers, I had to do the followings:

        StandardServiceRegistry standardRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
            .applySetting("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create")
            .applySetting("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect")
            .applySetting("hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings", "true")
            .build();
    MetadataSources sources = new MetadataSources(standardRegistry);
    managedClassNames.forEach(sources::addAnnotatedClass);
    MetadataImplementor metadata = (MetadataImplementor) sources
            .getMetadataBuilder()
            .build();

    SchemaExport export = new SchemaExport(metadata);

Hopefully that help

I like the diluted answer already posted. But here's a bit more detail that includes a few of the new built in Hibernate enums that allow you to create database tables with the SchemaExport class more programatically without a reliance on property file type settings like hbm2ddl.

Use a `HashMap` for properties

Normally I like to include all the database settings in Properties type of object like a Hashtable or HashMap. Then the HashMap is passed to the ServiceRegistry.

Map<String, String> settings = new HashMap<>();
settings.put("connection.driver_class", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
settings.put("dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost/hibernate_examples");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.username", "root");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.password", "password");
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(settings).build();

Add JPA entities to the `MetadataSources`

Then add all your JPA annotated classes to the MetadataSources object:

MetadataSources metadata = new MetadataSources(serviceRegistry);
metadata.addAnnotatedClass(Player.class);

Use `Action` and `TargetType` Enums

After all that's done, it's time to create the SchemaExport class and call it's execute method. In doing so, you can use the TargetType.DATABASE enum and the Action.BOTH enum instead of putting hbm2ddl into the settings such as:

applySetting("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create")

Here's how it looks:

EnumSet<TargetType> enumSet = EnumSet.of(TargetType.DATABASE);
SchemaExport schemaExport = new SchemaExport();
schemaExport.execute(enumSet, Action.BOTH, metadata.buildMetadata());

And sorry if this gets long, but here's the whole version 5 Hibernate SchemaExport code together in one go:

Map<String, String> settings = new HashMap<>();
settings.put("connection.driver_class", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
settings.put("dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost/jpa");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.username", "root");
settings.put("hibernate.connection.password", "password");
settings.put("hibernate.show_sql", "true");
settings.put("hibernate.format_sql", "true");

ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(settings).build();

MetadataSources metadata = new MetadataSources(serviceRegistry);
//metadata.addAnnotatedClass(Player.class);

EnumSet<TargetType> enumSet = EnumSet.of(TargetType.DATABASE);
SchemaExport schemaExport = new SchemaExport();
schemaExport.execute(enumSet, Action.BOTH, metadata.buildMetadata());

The source code is available on GitHub.

This also works for upgrading hibernate 3 to 6. You can also add xml mappings doing `serviceRegistry.configure(configFile)`. — Dialvive, Mar 23 '23 at 22:13
