Spring persistence with hibernate (APress)

Persistence is an important set of techniques and technologies for accessing and transacting data, and ensuring that data is mobile regardless of specific applications and contexts. In Java development, persistence is a key factor in enterprise, e-commerce, and other transaction-oriented applications. Today, the agile and open source Spring Framework is the leading out-of-the-box, open source solution for enterprise Java developers; in it, you can find a number of Java persistence solutions.§§Spring Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition, shows you how to to use the core Hibernate APIs and tools as part of the Spring Framework. This book illustrates how these two frameworks can be best utilized. Other persistence solutions available in Spring are also shown including the Java Persistence APIs (JPA) and the Grails Object Relational Mapping (GORM) tool.§§This book has been updated to cover Spring Framework version 4 and Hibernate version 4. After reading and using this book, you'll have the fundamentals to apply these persistence solutions into your own mission critical enterprise Java applications that you build using Spring.§
