This class should extend [BaseObject|http://raibledesigns.com/downloads/appfuse/api/org/appfuse/model/BaseObject.java.html], which has 3 abstract methods: (equals(), hashCode() and toString()) that you will need to implement in the Person class. The first two are required by Hibernate. If you plan to put this object into the user's session, or expose it through a web service, you should implement {{java.io.Serializable}} as well.

In the code snippet above, we're extending [BaseObject|http://raibledesigns.com/downloads/appfuse/api/org/appfuse/persistence/BaseObject.java.html] because it has the following useful methods: toString(), equals(), hashCode() - the latter two
are required by Hibernate.
The easiest way to do this is using [Commonclipse|http://commonclipse.sf.net]. More information on using this tool can be found on [Lee Grey's site|http://www.leegrey.com/hmm/2004/09/29/1096491256000.html]. Another Eclipse Plugin you can use is [Commons4E|http://commons4e.berlios.de/]. I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its functionality.

Now we'll create a DaoTest to test our DAO works. "Wait a minute," you say, "we haven't created a DAO!" You are correct. However, I've found that [Test-Driven Development|http://www.artima.com/intv/testdriven.html] breeds higher quality software. For years, I thought __write your test before your class__ was hogwash.

This class should extend [BaseDaoTestCase|http://raibledesigns.com/downloads/appfuse/api/org/appfuse/persistence/BaseDaoTestCase.java.html], which already exists in this package. This parent class is mainly used for automatically loading a .properties file (ResourceBundle) that has the same name as your *Test.class. In this example, if you put a PersonDaoTest.properties file in the same directory as PersonDaoTest.java, this file's properties will be available via an "rd" variable.

The code you see above is what we need for a basic JUnit test that initializes and destroys our PersonDao. The "conn" object is initialized (and obtains a connection) in the [BaseDaoTestCase|http://raibledesigns.com/downloads/appfuse/api/org/appfuse/persistence/BaseDaoTestCase.java.html] class.

Now we need to actually test that the CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) methods work in our DAO. To do this we created methods that begin with "test" (all lower case). As long as these methods are public, have a void return type and take no arguments, they will be called by our &lt;junit&gt; task in our Ant build.xml file. Here's some simple tests for testing CRUD. An important thing to remember is that each method (also known as a test), should be autonomous. Add the following methods to your PersonDaoTest.java file:

!!Notify Hibernate that this object exists [#5]
We have to tell Hibernate that this Person is persistable. For the JUnit tests, this is done in the src/ejb/**/persistence/ServiceLocator.java class. Simply add this class to the list of existing classes in the following code block:
!!Configure Spring for the Person object and PersonDao [#5]

First, you need to tell Spring where the Hibernate mapping file is located. To do this, open {{src/dao/**/dao/hibernate/applicationContext-hibernate.xml}} and add {{"Person.hbm.xml"}} to the following code block.

sf = new Configuration().addClass(Person.class)
.addClass(Role.class)
.addClass(UserRole.class)
.addClass(User.class).buildSessionFactory();
<property name="mappingResources">

The JUnit tests use the database.properties file to initialize a Hibernate database connection, whereas Tomcat uses JNDI. Therefore, we must edit a different file for Tomcat: web/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml. Add a new line for the Person.hbm.xml file in the following XML fragment:
Now you need to add some XML to this file to bind PersonDaoHibernate to PersonDao. To do this, add the following at the bottom of the file:

<mapping resource="org/appfuse/persistence/Person.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="org/appfuse/persistence/Role.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="org/appfuse/persistence/User.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="org/appfuse/persistence/UserRole.hbm.xml"/>
<!-- PersonDao: Hibernate implementation -->
