Books.java

 package blog.webideaworld.in;  
 public class Books {  
      private int bookid;  
      private String bookname;  
      public int getBookid() {

           this.bookname = bookname;

 }  

ExeMain.java
It is working as Persistent class for Hibernate and also this class we are using to store object of Student and Books class using Hibernate Framework.

 package blog.webideaworld.in;  
 import org.hibernate.Session;  
 import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;  
 import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;  
 public class ExeMain {  
      public static void main(String args[]){  
           Student st =new Student();  
           st.setName("jack");  
        st.setRollno(44);  
        Books bk1=new Books();  
        bk1.setBookname("Let us C");  
        Books bk2=new Books();  
        bk2.setBookname("Let us C++");  
        st.getBooks().add(bk1);  
        st.getBooks().add(bk2);  
        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")  
        SessionFactory sessionFactory     =new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();  
        Session session=sessionFactory.openSession();  
        session.beginTransaction();  
        session.save(st);  
        session.save(bk1);  
        session.save(bk2);  
        session.getTransaction().commit();  
      }  
 }
