How do I create MyBatis SqlSession object?

To create an SqlSession you can use the SqlSessionFactory class openSession() method. This method offers some overloaded method that can configure the property of the session. For example, we can configure the auto-commit-mode and the transaction-isolation-level for the session.

package org.kodejava.mybatis;

import org.apache.ibatis.io.Resources;
import org.apache.ibatis.session.SqlSession;
import org.apache.ibatis.session.SqlSessionFactory;
import org.apache.ibatis.session.SqlSessionFactoryBuilder;
import org.kodejava.mybatis.support.Record;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;

public class SqlSessionDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        SqlSessionDemo demo = new SqlSessionDemo();

        // Build an SqlSessionFactory.
        SqlSessionFactory factory = demo.getSessionFactory();

        // Create an SqlSession by using the factory.openSession() method.
        // It is a good practice to use a try-with-resources block when
        // working with an SqlSession. The session will be automatically
        // closes when it finishes the job.
        try (SqlSession session = factory.openSession()) {
            Record record = session.selectOne("getRecord", 1L);
            System.out.println("Record = " + record);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Build an SqlSessionFactory.
     *
     * @return an SqlSessionFactory.
     * @throws IOException when fail to read the configuration file.
     */
    private SqlSessionFactory getSessionFactory() throws IOException {
        Reader reader = Resources.getResourceAsReader("configuration.xml");
        SqlSessionFactoryBuilder builder = new SqlSessionFactoryBuilder();
        return builder.build(reader);
    }
}

Below are the configuration, mapper and the POJO.

        </environment>
    </environments>
    <mappers>
        <mapper resource="org/kodejava/mybatis/mapper/RecordMapper.xml" />
    </mappers>
</configuration>

RecordMapper.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper
        PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
        "https://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">
<mapper namespace="org.kodejava.mybatis.RecordMapper">

    <resultMap id="recordResultMap" type="record">
        <result column="id" property="id" />
        <result column="title" property="title" />
        <result column="release_date" property="releaseDate" />
        <result column="artist_id" property="artistId" />
        <result column="label_id" property="labelId" />
    </resultMap>

    <select id="getRecord" parameterType="java.lang.Long" resultMap="recordResultMap">
        SELECT id,
            title,
            release_date,
            artist_id,
            label_id
        FROM record
        WHERE id = #{id}
    </select>
</mapper>

Record.java

package org.kodejava.mybatis.support;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;

public class Record implements Serializable {
    private Long id;
    private String title;
    private Date releaseDate;
    private Long artistId;
    private Long labelId;

    // Getters & Setters

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Record{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", title='" + title + '\'' +
                ", releaseDate=" + releaseDate +
                ", artistId=" + artistId +
                ", labelId=" + labelId +
                '}';
    }
}

The directory structure of the code above is:

├─ pom.xml
└─ src
   └─ main
      ├─ java
      │  └─ org
      │     └─ kodejava
