Harnessing Hibernate is an ideal introduction to the popular framework
that lets Java developers work with information from a relational database easily
and efficiently. Databases are a very different world than Java objects, and they
often involve people with different skills and specializations. With Hibernate,
bridging these two worlds is significantly easier, and with this book, you can
get up to speed with Hibernate quickly.
Rather than present you with another reference, Harnessing Hibernate
lets you explore the system, from download and configuration through a series
of projects that demonstrate how to accomplish a variety of practical goals.
The new edition of this concise guide walks you through Hibernate's primary
features, which include mapping from Java classes to database tables, and from
Java data types to SQL data types. You will also learn about Hibernate's data
query and retrieval facilities, and much more. By reading and following along
with the examples, you can get your own Hibernate environment set up quickly
and start using it for real-world tasks right away. Harnessing Hibernate
teaches you how to:
- Perform Object/Relational mapping
- Work with persistent data from Java code
- Work with groups and relationships between objects
- Extend Hibernate's rich type support for your own needs
- Simplify query creation using criteria and examples
- Use the Hibernate Query Language (HQL) and understand how it differs from
SQL
- Use Hibernate in conjunction with Spring
- Use Hibernate in conjunction with other packages, such as the Stripes web
framework and the Eclipse IDE
Once you're past the first few chapters, you can jump to topics that you find
particularly interesting or relevant. All background material and explanations
of how Hibernate works and why is in the service of a focused task. Source code
can be downloaded from the book's website. If using SQL is an uncomfortable
chore, Harnessing Hibernate offers you an effective and trouble-free
method for working with the information you store in your applications.
