Developing J2EE Applications Using Hibernate
This training course provides students with the knowledge needed to use the Hibernate Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) framework to implement the persistence layer of J2EE applications.
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
• Understand the concepts of object/relational mappings

• Integrate and configure Hibernate in J2EE applications
• Create Hibernate mappings
• Retrieve and update persistent objects using Hibernate
• Use HQL (Hibernate Query Language) and criteria queries
• Know when to use database and application transactions
• Understand the Hibernate caching architecture
• Tune performance of Hibernate operations
• Use various Hibernate tools
