Editorial Reviews:

Java Persistence with Hibernate is considerably more than simply a second edition to Hibernate in Action. It provides a comprehensive overview of all the capabilities of the Java Persistence API in addition to those of Hibernate 3, as well as a detailed comparative analysis of the two. It describes how Hibernate has been used to implement the Java Persistence standard, and how to leverage the Hibernate extensions to Java Persistence.

-- From the Forward by LINDA DEMICHIEL Specification Lead, Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 and Java Persistence Sun Microsystems

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 so it's a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate conforms to the new EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standards.

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 2nd edition of Manning's 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 1.0 standards.

What's Inside:

--Authoritative source for any developer using Java with SQL databases.
--Covers the latest major Hibernate version in great detail
--Explores the new EJB 3.0 Java Persistence standard.
--Written by the Hibernate founder and project lead.
--Object/relational mapping concepts
--Real-world tasks and examples
--Application design and development processes with ORM

Summary: a MUST_READ book for any web programmer
Comment: This book is not only a fantastic guide to Hibernate - it is actually an amazing treatise on two very important concepts: ORM and Domain-Driven Models. I strongly recommend reading this book. Even if you are not directly interested in Hibernate, it will broaden your understanding of object design and persistence.

Summary: Hibernate Bible
Comment: If you can only buy 1 book on Hibernate, this is the one to buy. It's comprehensive and well written. Be prepared to read actively as it can drift into the weeds a little bit, but there is nothing else that goes into Hibernate at the same level of detail on the market, good stuff.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply great!
Comment: I've read other books on hibernate but this one gives the real taste.
The author put in even small details and given users choice what to chose and how to chose.

It's a must for every hibernate user.
