Hibernate SortedSet mapping

SortedSet in collection:

SortedSet is a group of elements which not contain a duplicate element and maintain ascending order in its elements.

SortedSet mapping:

If an entity has a SortedSet of values for a property then this property can be mapped by using <set> element. A SortedSet is initialized with java.util.TreeSet.

Example:

Student.java

import java.util.SortedSet;
 
/**
 * This class represents a persistent class for Student.
 * @author w3schools
 */
public class Student {
	//data members
	private int studentId;
	private String firstName;
	private String lastName;
	private String className;
	private String rollNo;
	private int age;
	private SortedSet subjects;
 
	//no-argument constructor
	public Student(){
 
	}
 
	//argument constructor
	public Student(String firstName, String lastName, 
			String className, String rollNo, int age){
		this.firstName = firstName;
		this.lastName = lastName;
		this.className = className;
		this.rollNo = rollNo;
		this.age = age;		
	}
 
	//getter and setter methods
	public int getStudentId() {
		return studentId;
	}
	public void setStudentId(int studentId) {
		this.studentId = studentId;
	}
	public String getFirstName() {
		return firstName;
	}
	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}
	public String getLastName() {
		return lastName;
	}
	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
		this.lastName = lastName;
	}
	public String getClassName() {
		return className;
	}
	public void setClassName(String className) {
		this.className = className;
	}
	public String getRollNo() {
		return rollNo;
	}
	public void setRollNo(String rollNo) {
		this.rollNo = rollNo;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public SortedSet getSubjects() {
		return subjects;
	}
	public void setSubjects(SortedSet subjects) {
		this.subjects = subjects;
	}
}
