Beginning Hibernate, 2nd Edition
Book Description
Beginning Hibernate, Second Edition is ideal if you’re experienced in Java with databases (the traditional, or “connected,” approach), but new to open source, lightweight Hibernate—the de facto object-relational mapping and database-oriented application development framework.
This book packs in brand-new information about the latest release of the Hibernate 3.5 persistence layer and provides a clear introduction to the current standard for object-relational persistence in Java. And since the book keeps its focus on Hibernate without wasting time on nonessential third-party tools, you’ll be able to immediately start building transaction-based engines and applications.
Experienced authors Dave Minter and Jeff Linwood provide more in-depth examples than any other book for Hibernate beginners. The authors also present material in a lively, example-based manner—not a dry, theoretical, hard-to-read fashion.
What you’ll learn
- How to build enterprise Java-based transaction—type applications that access complex data with Hibernate, including Software as a Service (SaaS)
- How to work with Hibernate 3.5
- Where to integrate into the persistence lifecycle, including cloud application implications
- How to map using annotations, Hibernate XML files, and more
- How to search and query with the new version of Hibernate
- When to integrate with Spring, Grails, and more

About the Author
Jeff Linwood has been involved in software programming since he had a 286 in high school. He got caught up with the Internet when he got access to a UNIX shell account, and it has been downhill ever since. Jeff has published articles on several Jakarta Apache open source projects in Dr. Dobb’s Journal, CNET’s Builder.com, and JavaWorld. Jeff has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. He currently works for the Gossamer Group in Austin, Texas, on content management and web application syndication systems. He gets to play with all the latest open source projects there. Jeff also co-authored Professional Struts Applications, Building Portals with the Java Portlet API, and Pro Hibernate 3. He was a technical reviewer for Enterprise Java Development on a Budget and Extreme Programming with Ant.
Dave Minter has adored computers since he was small enough to play in the boxes they came in. He built his first PC from discarded, faulty, and obsolete components, and considers that to be the foundation of his career as an integration consultant. Dave is based in London, where he helps large and small companies build systems that “just work.” He co-authored Building Portals with the Java Portlet API and Pro Hibernate 3.
