Hibernate Training Overview
Hibernate® (http://www.hibernate.org) is a high-performance open-source object-relational mapping tool (ORM). The course uses the latest release version of Hibernate (3.1). In this class, experienced Java developers learn how to put the Hibernate engine to work within their applications.
Hibernate Training Prerequisites
All attendees must have at least one year of full-time Java™ development experience and an excellent understanding of relational databases and SQL.
Software Needed on Each Student PC

  • Java SE SDK
  • The Hibernate persistence engine
  • Ant
  • MySQL
  • Java IDE of your choice (We will advise on specific versions of the software required based on your standard development and production environments.)

Hibernate Training Objectives

  • Understand the benefits of Hibernate
  • Understand the Hibernate architecture
  • Create Hibernate based applications
  • Understand and use Hibernate mapping to map persistent objects to the database
  • Understand and work with collections & associations
    • Value and Entity Types
    • Bidrectional and unidirectional
    • 1-1, 1-N, N-N
  • Use Hibernate’s versioning support
  • Map inheritance hierarchies using Hibernate
  • Work with Hibernate queries, HQL, and Criteria
  • Performance tune your Hibernate applications
  • Understand Hibernate transaction support
  • Understand the relationship between Hibernate and Java Persistence / EJB 3
  • Use the new Hibernate annotations to do OR mapping
