Harnessing Hibernate (Paperback)

Harnessing Hibernate is an ideal introduction to the popular framework that lets Java developers work with information from a relational database easily and efficiently. Databases are a very different world than Java objects, and they often involve people with different skills and specializations. With Hibernate, bridging these two worlds is significantly easier, and with this book, you can get up to speed with Hibernate quickly. Rather than present you with another reference, Harnessing Hibernate lets you explore the system, from download and configuration through a series of projects that demonstrate how to accomplish a variety of practical goals. The new edition of this concise guide walks you through Hibernate's primary features, which include mapping from Java classes to database tables, and from Java data types to SQL data types. You will also learn about Hibernate's data query and retrieval facilities, and much more. By reading and following along with the examples, you can get your own Hibernate environment set up quickly and start using it for real-world tasks right away. Harnessing Hibernate teaches you how to: Perform Object/Relational mapping Work with persistent data from Java code Work with groups and relationships between objects Extend Hibernate's rich type support for your own needs Simplify query creation using criteria and examples Use the Hibernate Query Language (HQL) and understand how it differs from SQL Use Hibernate in conjunction with Spring Use Hibernate in conjunction with other packages, such as the Stripes web framework and the Eclipse IDE Once you're past the first few chapters, you can jump to topics that you find particularly interesting or relevant. Allbackground material and explanations of how Hibernate works and why is in the service of a focused task. Source code can be downloaded from the book's website. If using SQL is an uncomfortable chore, Harnessing Hibernate offers you an effective and trouble-free method for working with the information you store in your applications.

《掌握 Hibernate》是一本介紹這個受歡迎框架的理想入門書，讓Java開發人員能夠輕鬆高效地處理與關聯式數據庫相關的信息。數據庫和Java對象是兩個非常不同的世界，通常需要具備不同技能和專業知識的人來處理。使用Hibernate，將這兩個世界連接起來變得更加容易，而這本書可以讓您快速掌握Hibernate。《掌握 Hibernate》不僅僅是一本參考書，它還讓您通過一系列項目來探索Hibernate系統，展示如何實現各種實際目標，從下載和配置開始。這本簡明指南的新版將引導您了解Hibernate的主要功能，包括從Java類映射到數據庫表，以及從Java數據類型映射到SQL數據類型。您還將學習Hibernate的數據查詢和檢索功能等等。通過閱讀並跟隨示例，您可以快速設置自己的Hibernate環境，並立即開始在實際任務中使用它。《掌握 Hibernate》教您如何：進行對象/關聯映射；從Java代碼中處理持久數據；處理對象之間的分組和關聯；擴展Hibernate豐富的類型支持以滿足自己的需求；使用標準和示例簡化查詢創建；使用Hibernate查詢語言（HQL）並了解其與SQL的區別；將Hibernate與Spring框架一起使用；將Hibernate與其他包（如Stripes Web框架和Eclipse IDE）一起使用。一旦您通過了前幾章，您可以跳到您特別感興趣或相關的主題。所有的背景材料和對Hibernate工作原理的解釋都是為了完成一個具體的任務。書中的源代碼可以從書籍網站上下載。如果使用SQL讓您感到不舒服，那麼《掌握 Hibernate》將為您提供一種有效且無憂的方法來處理應用程序中存儲的信息。
