Java Persistence with Hibernate

is the new bible of Hibernate. As a major revision

of the popular Hibernate in Action, it builds on the same single example application

to introduce and explain the latest Hibernate 3.2 in detail. In addition,

the new and significantly improved EJB 3.0 Java Persistence standard, and how

Hibernate implements it, is covered completely.

All possible basic and advanced Hibernate mappings are shown in this book,

with hundreds of examples in Hibernate’s XML format, including Java

Persistence annotations for JDK 5.0. Readers can get started with Hibernate and

Java Persistence at the same time. All examples—APIs, queries, fetching

strategies, caching, transactions, conversations, and many more—are presented

in all variations, so they can compare and evaluate the new Java Persistence

specification easily. If you are an experienced Hibernate user, this book provides

the insight you need to benefit immediately from the new standard, its rich

programming model, and the latest version of Hibernate.
