The Hibernate Essentials course is recommended for Java developers who must become
competent with a Hibernate or a Java Persistence API object/relational persistence
and query service implementation. Both implementations provide powerful APIs to
develop persistent classes following the object-oriented idiom. Both implementations
support the use of association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition and collections
with persistent classes. To fully utilize persistent class implementations, the student
will also learn how to create and execute queries using EJB-QL, the portable Hibernate
SQL extension (HQL), native SQL and the object-oriented Criteria and Example API.
Course Description
Hibernate Essentials
is targeted toward Java developers who must become competent with the Hibernate
or the Java Persistence API object/relational persistence and query service
implementation. The primary audience is intended to be Java developers who work
with SQL-based database systems or database developers who are looking for an
introduction to object-oriented software development. Database administrators who
are interested in how ORM may affect performance and how to tune the performance of
the SQL database management system and persistence layer will also find this course
of value. This course covers the JBoss, Inc. implementation of the JSR-220
sub-specification for Java Persistence and it covers the foundational APIs of
version 3.x of the JBoss, Inc. Hibernate product, or simply, Hibernate 3.
