Product Description

Product Description
Persistence-the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program-is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, provides automatic and transparent object/relational mapping making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. Because it conforms to the new EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standard, Hibernate allows the developer to seamlessly create efficient, scalable Java EE applications.

Java Persistence with Hibernate explores Hibernate by developing an application that ties together hundreds of individual examples. You'll immediately dig into the rich programming model of Hibernate 3.2 and Java Persistence, working through queries, fetching strategies, caching, transactions, conversations, and more. You'll also appreciate the well-illustrated discussion of best practices in database design, object/relational mapping, and optimization techniques.

In this revised edition of the bestselling Hibernate in Action, authors Christian Bauer and Gavin King-the founder of the Hibernate project-cover Hibernate 3.2 in detail along with the EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence standard.

About the Author
Christian Bauer is a member of the Hibernate developer team. He works as a trainer, consultant, and product manager for Hibernate, EJB 3.0, and JBoss Team at JBoss, a division of Red Hat. He is the co-author with Gavin King of Manning's best-selling Hibernate in Action.

Gavin King is the founder of the Hibernate project, and a member of the EJB 3.0 (JSR 220) expert group. He also leads the Web Beans JSR 299, a standardization effort involving Hibernate concepts, JSF, and EJB 3.0. Gavin King works as a lead developer as JBoss, a division of Red Hat.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but..., 21 Dec 2006
I read this book after reading Hibernate in Action, I found almost 70% of it repeated. So im not sure wether this book is value for money for me anyway. But if your starting out in hibernate I would probably say buy this, However if you already have Hibernate in Action, its not worth the extra cost and most of the information can be found on the net after some hunting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better, 22 Feb 2007
By Mr. P. Kemp "P Kemp" (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found Hibernate In Action to be an indispensible guide when developing Hibernate persistence solutions, so I was eagerly awaiting the release of its successor.

Most developers will want to use standard JPA as much as possible for portability reasons, and only use Hibernate where absolutely necessary to use features not supported by JPA.
However this book fails to cleanly separate discussion of JPA from Hibernate, meaning that if you take this approach to using JPA you end up wading through large sections of the 800+ pages of this weighty tome.

I have to agree with Ganeshji and C. Updike - this lack of any clean separation of JPA and Hibernate makes it difficult to get useful information out of the book.

This is a shame, as the writing is of a high standard - unfortunately the content is very poorly organised.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive hibernate reference, 14 Sep 2007
By Andrew Redhead - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are going to buy a book about how to use Hibernate, this is the one to get.

It has in depth coverage of native Hibernate, JPA (just because JPA is a standard doesn't make it evil) and the Hibernate implementation of JPA. It also covers the issues surrounding object/relational mapping and various "architectural" options for using persistent objects in an application.

It's a big book - it needs to be, it covers a lot of ground and contains a lot of detail. I'd go for the PDF version, it weighs less and you can use the PDF reader to search the text.

For me a more apt title would have been: "ORM with Hibernate and EJB3".
