Course Outline
Understanding Java Persistence
Objective: Learn how JBoss® Hibernate® effectively answers the question of how to represent relational data in an object-oriented environment.
Getting Started with Hibernate
Objective: Deploy a simple application leveraging core Hibernate mappings and persistence features.
Hibernate Projects and Tools
Objective: Use available JBoss Developer Studio Hibernate tooling to analyze a project's domain objects.
Advanced Hibernate Mapping
Objective: Extend Hibernate Entities with built-in and user-defined types and develop robust identifiers.
Entity Relations and Inheritance
Objective: Use advanced relational mappings to manage uni- and bi-directional associations, and map Java™ inheritance to database tables.
Persistent State and Transactions in Hibernate
Objective: Examine how Hibernate manages the relationship between the data in a table and the values in an Entity, and associate these state changes with a unit of work.
Querying Data Efficiently
Objective: Learn how to leverage Hibernate-fetching strategies, query options, and filters to produce efficient queries.
Design and Best Practices Review
Objective: Learn the basics of Hibernate design patterns and best practices and how to apply them to build efficient Hibernate systems.
Hibernate Configuration and Deployment
Objective: Use Hibernate's highly adaptable framework in a variety of application types, from simple Java standalone applications to full-fledged Java enterprise-class deployments.
Hibernate Advanced Frameworks
Objective: Hibernate supplies advanced tooling to assist developers in the areas of testing, validation, search, and spanning database instances.
