Product Description
Product 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 information about the 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

I've read most of the book and I have to acknowledge that, despite the fact that the subject is tough, the explanations and writing do a good work. However, I found that there are few examples, and some points should be treated more deeply.
The book insist in the use of annotations as the "proper" way to configure and use Hibernate. However, hibernate manuals go for other way. Conclusion: when you search in internet for a specific solution for your problem using annotations, you find very little examples. It should be a better approximation to the problem jus simply using the same tools the others are using (despite the fact that I have to recognize that annotations are a cleaner aproximation to the problem of configuring hibernate).
A final point is the availability of this book as an e-book. The book is served as a pdf file password-protected. Many tablets and ebook readers doesn't support it, so i have to break the password as the only way to simply read the book in an android tablet.

Decent but not great.

Format:Paperback
There are two problems with the book. The first is that it is written for ANT and not Eclipse. Does anyone use ANT anymore? The second is that there is only one basic sample program in the book. The rest is lists of parameters and how they are used. I was expecting more program examples.
That said, I have not found other books or online tutorials that are any better making this the best of a bad lot.

I tried to put Hibernate to use on a project and I was able to but not with the help of this book. Its just badly written. Its a shame and I hardly give out negative feedback, but this one deserves it. I found out always reaching out to search engines to get what I want after I read the section(s) that I was interested in the book because I was still lost or still confused. I am still lost and confused but I did not need a book that I bought to remind me of it. Enough is enough..
