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

| I have tried several times to use this book as a tutorial on how to implement Hibernate into an application. Right off the bat, the author states "If you want to start with a less elaborate tutorial that you can complete in an hour, our advice is to consider the Hibernate reference documentation." Can you believe that? They shine you on down the road to reference documentation. Complete turn off for a beginner. It is like the author is telling me, "I don't have time to explain the basics to you and show you a simple working example. Go figure it out yourself and then come back here." This may be a great reference for experienced Hibernate developers, but if you are a beginner, my advice to you is "Back slowly away from this book. Just put it down gently and back far, far away." Come back when you already know HIbernate like the back of your hand. But then you won't this book, will you? |
| This book is a must have if you are serious Hibernate developer | 2010-04-11 | 5 / 5 |

| Well written with comprehensive and indepth coverage of the subject. I high recommend this book. |
| Excellent book for Hibernate beginners | 2010-02-18 | 4 / 5 |

| Regarding the topics inside, May be as I already have experience in Java, J2EE..I feel it easy to read and understand with good examples. I think it's a very good book for the one who are new to Hibernate. |

My current project switched from using JDBC to JPA with Hibernate for persistence. I took the lead for configuring and implementing the persistence backend and API that the rest of our application would use. I started reading the Java Persistence with Hibernate book and wasn't disappointed.
First, let me say this book is big. There is a lot of content, but JPA and especially Hibernate are not trivial topics. Don't let the size of the book scare you away. I used this book as a complete reference and a desktop reference. There are many code samples scattered throughout the book to enforce the concepts that are being discussed.
I really appreciated that the authors include the JPA way and Hibernate way of doing persistence in parallel. This allowed me to see the native Hibernate way of doing the JPA equivalent in case I needed additional customization.
My only real complaint is that some of the code samples weren't complete. For example it wasn't obvious that I needed to build a PersistenceUtil class to manage the EntityManagerFactory for my unmanaged J2SE application. All in all this is a very minor thing that just caused me a bit of confusion at first.
I highly recommend this book and doubt you will find a better complete reference to JPA and Hibernate anywhere else.

| This should not be your first Hibernate book | 2010-01-16 | 1 / 5 |

| This book is too detailed and drifts too much into the intricate details of ORM, Hibernate and JPA. Unless you have loads of time on your hands (like the 8 months one reviewer spent on it) this is not a great book. Its not a great refernce book either because its very difficult to find an answer to anything specific you are looking for. I think the only people this book will appeal to are the hard core hibernate junkies... who really don't need to read another book about hibernate because they know enough already by the time they are ready for this book. |
