Gilhari One-to-Many Example FAQs

Question 1

What is the Gilhari One-to-Many Example?

Accepted Answer

This example demonstrates configuring the Gilhari ORM framework to manage one-to-many relationships between JSON objects (like Departments and Employees) using BYREFERENCE semantics within a RESTful microservice.

Question 2

How do 'BYREFERENCE semantics' work in this context?

Accepted Answer

BYREFERENCE semantics mean that related objects, such as an Employee and their Department, maintain independent lifecycles. An Employee object is not deleted if its associated Department is deleted, allowing them to be created and associated separately.

Question 3

What aspects of API and database management does Gilhari automate?

Accepted Answer

Gilhari fully automates REST API handling (CRUD operations for JSON objects) and the setup of database schemas, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for manual coding in these areas.

Question 4

Can Gilhari be used with any relational database?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gilhari supports object-relational mapping (ORM) for JSON objects with any relational database management system (RDBMS), configured via standard JDBC drivers specified in the service configuration.

Question 5

Is the Gilhari One-to-Many Example a standalone microservice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this example builds into a Docker-compatible image that can run independently as a RESTful microservice, providing APIs for persisting and managing application-specific JSON data with relational mappings.
