BEGINNING HIBERNATE

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.
