The org.springframework.jdbc.core.SimpleJdbcInsert class is a multi-threaded, reusable object providing easy insert capabilities for a table. It provides meta data processing to simplify the code needed to construct a basic insert statement. The actual insert is being handled using Spring”s JdbcTemplate

Class Declaration

Following is the declaration for org.springframework.jdbc.core.SimpleJdbcInsert class −

public class SimpleJdbcInsert
   extends AbstractJdbcInsert
      implements SimpleJdbcInsertOperations

Following example will demonstrate how to insert a query using Spring JDBC. We”ll insert one record in Student Table using SimpleJdbcInsert object.

Syntax

jdbcInsert = new SimpleJdbcInsert(dataSource).withTableName("Student");
Map<String,Object> parameters = new HashMap<String,Object>();

parameters.put("name", name);
parameters.put("age", age);
jdbcInsert.execute(parameters);

Where,

• jdbcInsert − SimpleJdbcInsert object to insert record in student table.

• jdbcTemplateObject − StudentJDBCTemplate object to read student object in database.

To understand the above-mentioned concepts related to Spring JDBC, let us write an example which will insert a query. To write our example, let us have a working Eclipse IDE in place and use the following steps to create a Spring application.

Following is the content of the Data Access Object interface file StudentDAO.java.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.List;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

public interface StudentDAO {
   /** 
      * This is the method to be used to initialize
      * database resources ie. connection.
   */
   public void setDataSource(DataSource ds);
   
   /** 
      * This is the method to be used to create
      * a record in the Student table.
   */
   public void create(String name, Integer age);
   
   /** 
      * This is the method to be used to list down
      * all the records from the Student table.
   */
   public List<Student> listStudents();   
}

Following is the content of the Student.java file.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class Student {
   private Integer age;
   private String name;
   private Integer id;

   public void setAge(Integer age) {
      this.age = age;
   }
   public Integer getAge() {
      return age;
   }
   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }
   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }
   public void setId(Integer id) {
      this.id = id;
   }
   public Integer getId() {
      return id;
   }
}

Following is the content of the StudentMapper.java file.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.RowMapper;

public class StudentMapper implements RowMapper<Student> {
   public Student mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
      Student student = new Student();
      student.setId(rs.getInt("id"));
      student.setName(rs.getString("name"));
      student.setAge(rs.getInt("age"));
      return student;
   }
}

Following is the implementation class file StudentJDBCTemplate.java for the defined DAO interface StudentDAO.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.SimpleJdbcInsert;

public class StudentJDBCTemplate implements StudentDao {
   private DataSource dataSource;
   private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject;
   SimpleJdbcInsert jdbcInsert;

   public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource) {
      this.dataSource = dataSource;
      this.jdbcTemplateObject = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
      this.jdbcInsert = new SimpleJdbcInsert(dataSource).withTableName("Student");
   }
   public void create(String name, Integer age) {
      Map<String,Object> parameters = new HashMap<String,Object>();
      parameters.put("name", name);
      parameters.put("age", age);
      
      jdbcInsert.execute(parameters);
      System.out.println("Created Record Name = " + name + " Age = " + age);
      return;
   }
   public List<Student> listStudents() {
      String SQL = "select * from Student";
      List <Student> students = jdbcTemplateObject.query(SQL, new StudentMapper());
      return students;
   }
}

Following is the content of the MainApp.java file.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import com.tutorialspoint.StudentJDBCTemplate;

public class MainApp {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Beans.xml");
      StudentJDBCTemplate studentJDBCTemplate = (StudentJDBCTemplate)context.getBean("studentJDBCTemplate");
      
      System.out.println("------Records Creation--------" );
      studentJDBCTemplate.create("Nuha", 2);

      System.out.println("------Listing Multiple Records--------" );
      List<Student> students = studentJDBCTemplate.listStudents();
      
      for (Student record : students) {
         System.out.print("ID : " + record.getId() );
         System.out.print(", Name : " + record.getName() );
         System.out.println(", Age : " + record.getAge());
      }
   }
}

Following is the configuration file Beans.xml.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd ">

   <!-- Initialization for data source -->
   <bean id = "dataSource" 
      class = "org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
      <property name = "driverClassName" value = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"/>
      <property name = "url" value = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/TEST"/>
      <property name = "username" value = "root"/>
      <property name = "password" value = "admin"/>
   </bean>

   <!-- Definition for studentJDBCTemplate bean -->
   <bean id = "studentJDBCTemplate" 
      class = "com.tutorialspoint.StudentJDBCTemplate">
      <property name = "dataSource" ref = "dataSource" />    
   </bean>
</beans>

Once you are done creating the source and bean configuration files, let us run the application. If everything is fine with your application, it will print the following message.

------Records Creation--------
Created Record Name = Nuha Age = 12
------Listing Multiple Records--------
ID : 1, Name : Zara, Age : 17
ID : 3, Name : Ayan, Age : 18
ID : 4, Name : Nuha, Age : 12
