Spring and Hibernate

"The Java EE platform supports various infrastructural concerns for implementing enterprise applications but it turns out to be heavyweight, hard to control and inconvenient during the development cycle. While Spring is a multi-tier open-source lightweight application framework which addresses most of these infrastructural concerns of enterprise applications, Hibernate is one of the efficient ORM implementations in Java which helps in quick implementation of reliable data access layer. This thoroughly revised Second Edition updates the book to Spring Framework latest version 3.2 M2 and the annotation style of configuring object relational mappings in Hibernate. Covering the core concepts of Spring and Hibernate along with Spring Web MVC framework, Hibernate Query Language (HQL), implementing Hibernate, data access layer, Web tier, remoting with Spring, this book also discusses the integration of Spring with other Web frameworks. The theoretical concepts are supported by codes and program-snippets which will facilitate self-learning and developing Java enterprise applications with Spring Framework. With solutions for the FAQs for each chapter and two Appendices (Spring Framework’s Form Tags and Hibernate Configurations) specially provided for interested readers and freely accessible through the Online Learning Center (http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/1259063720), Spring and Hibernate will prove invaluable for Java professionals, trainers and students. Highlights of the Second Edition: • Covers Spring Framework latest version 3.2 M2 • Discusses configuring Hibernate Mappings using JPA annotations • New chapter on configuring Spring Web MVC using annotations • Covers JSR 303 bean validation annotations with examples • Includes FAQs in each chapter"
