Kazuki Shimizu edited this page May 20, 2023 · 8 revisions

Let's create a MyBatis Spring Boot Application with quickly using the SPRING INITIALIZR.

Pre conditions

You need to install GraalVM and need to following environment variables are defined.

  • JAVA_HOME
  • GRAALVM_HOME

Create a project

Create a Spring Boot standalone application for MyBatis + H2 Database using following command (or the SPRING INITIALIZR UI).

curl -s https://start.spring.io/starter.tgz\ -d type=maven-project\ -d name=mybatis-native-sample\ -d artifactId=mybatis-native-sample\ -d dependencies=mybatis,h2\ -d baseDir=mybatis-native-sample\ | tar -xzvf - && cd mybatis-native-sample 

Build on Docker container

You can use the Docker container for building as follow:

NOTE:

If occurred the 'Error: Image build request failed with exit status 137', please increase the memory size that assign to Docker.

Run the container.

docker run -v $(pwd):/work -v $HOME/.m2:/root/.m2 -it -w /work \ -e JAVA_HOME=/opt/graalvm-ce-java17-22.3.2 \ -e GRAALVM_HOME=/opt/graalvm-ce-java17-22.3.2 \ -e LANG=C.utf8 \ ghcr.io/graalvm/graalvm-ce:22.3.2 bash 

Try to build a native image for empty application.

./mvnw -Pnative clean native:compile 

Run a native image.

./target/mybatis-native-sample 

Unfortunately you get the following error:

Create a configuration class

Create the MyBatisNativeConfiguration class(src/main/com/example/mybatisnativesample/MyBatisNativeConfiguration.java) for building a native image and rebuild a native image.

./mvnw -Pnative clean native:compile 

Run a native image.

./target/mybatis-native-sample 

You can run a native image successfully as follow:

 . ____ _ __ _ _ /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ ( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ :: Spring Boot :: (v3.0.6) 2023-05-08T23:50:38.069Z INFO 667 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : Starting AOT-processed MybatisNativeSampleApplication using Java 17.0.7 with PID 667 (/work/target/mybatis-native-sample started by root in /work) 2023-05-08T23:50:38.069Z INFO 667 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : No active profile set, falling back to 1 default profile: "default" 2023-05-08T23:50:38.088Z INFO 667 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : Started MybatisNativeSampleApplication in 0.053 seconds (process running for 0.058) 

Create sql files

Create an sql file(src/main/resources/schema.sql) to generate the city table.

CREATE TABLE city ( id INT PRIMARY KEY auto_increment, name VARCHAR, state VARCHAR, country VARCHAR );

Create a domain class

Create the City class(src/main/java/com/example/mybatisnativesample/City.java).

package com.example.mybatisnativesample; public class City { private Long id; private String name; private String state; private String country; public Long getId() { return this.id; } public void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getState() { return this.state; } public void setState(String state) { this.state = state; } public String getCountry() { return this.country; } public void setCountry(String country) { this.country = country; } @Override public String toString() { return getId() + "," + getName() + "," + getState() + "," + getCountry(); } }

Create a mapper interface

Create the CityMapper interface(src/main/java/com/example/mybatisnativesample/CityMapper.java) for annotation driven.

package com.example.mybatisnativesample; import org.apache.ibatis.annotations.Insert; import org.apache.ibatis.annotations.Mapper; import org.apache.ibatis.annotations.Options; import org.apache.ibatis.annotations.Select; @Mapper public interface CityMapper { @Insert("INSERT INTO city (name, state, country) VALUES(#{name}, #{state}, #{country})") @Options(useGeneratedKeys = true, keyProperty = "id") void insert(City city); @Select("SELECT id, name, state, country FROM city WHERE id = #{id}") City findById(long id); }

Modify a spring boot application class

Add a bean definition that implements the CommandLineRunner interface at the MybatisSampleApplication class(src/main/java/com/example/mybatisnativesample/MybatisNativeSampleApplication.java) and call a mapper method.

package com.example.mybatisnativesample; import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; @SpringBootApplication(proxyBeanMethods = false) public class MybatisNativeSampleApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(MybatisNativeSampleApplication.class, args); } private final CityMapper cityMapper; public MybatisNativeSampleApplication(CityMapper cityMapper) { this.cityMapper = cityMapper; } @Bean CommandLineRunner sampleCommandLineRunner() { return args -> { City city = new City(); city.setName("San Francisco"); city.setState("CA"); city.setCountry("US"); cityMapper.insert(city); System.out.println(this.cityMapper.findById(city.getId())); }; } }

Run a spring boot application

Using spring-boot:run

At first, run an application using the Spring Boot Maven Plugin.

./mvnw spring-boot:run 
` . ____ _ __ _ _ /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ ( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ :: Spring Boot :: (v3.0.6) 2023-05-09T00:04:36.356Z INFO 924 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : Starting MybatisNativeSampleApplication using Java 17.0.7 with PID 924 (/work/target/classes started by root in /work) 2023-05-09T00:04:36.360Z INFO 924 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : No active profile set, falling back to 1 default profile: "default" 2023-05-09T00:04:37.282Z INFO 924 --- [ main] com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Starting... 2023-05-09T00:04:37.614Z INFO 924 --- [ main] com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool : HikariPool-1 - Added connection conn0: url=jdbc:h2:mem:cb5ee681-55e3-4766-aa1b-693dd1c2c304 user=SA 2023-05-09T00:04:37.617Z INFO 924 --- [ main] com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Start completed. 2023-05-09T00:04:37.895Z INFO 924 --- [ main] c.e.m.MybatisNativeSampleApplication : Started MybatisNativeSampleApplication in 2.101 seconds (process running for 2.453) 1,San Francisco,CA,US 2023-05-09T00:04:37.968Z INFO 924 --- [ionShutdownHook] com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Shutdown initiated... 2023-05-09T00:04:37.971Z INFO 924 --- [ionShutdownHook] com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Shutdown completed. ... 

Using native-image and executable jar

Also, you can package to a native-image and an executable jar file as follow:

./mvnw -Pnative clean native:compile 

Run with native-image as follow:

./target/mybatis-native-sample

Appendix

How to use XML based Mapper

If you want to write SQLs using XML file, you should modify the native-maven-plugin's configuration in pom.xml as follow:

<plugin> <groupId>org.graalvm.buildtools</groupId> <artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <buildArgs combine.children="append"> <buildArg>--enable-url-protocols=http</buildArg> <!-- ★★★Need to specify★★★ --> </buildArgs> </configuration> </plugin>

And you need to run the native image with -Djavax.xml.accessExternalDTD=all as follow:

./target/mybatis-native-sample -Djavax.xml.accessExternalDTD=all 

How to use @MapperScan

If you want to scan mappers using @MapperScan, you should be specified either the sqlSessionTemplateRef or sqlSessionFactoryRef as follows:

@MapperScan(basePackages = "com.example.mybatisnativesample.mapper", sqlSessionTemplateRef = "sqlSessionTemplate") @SpringBootApplication public class MybatisNativeSampleApplication { // ... }
