Hibernate Tips: More than 70 solutions to common Hibernate problems

by Thorben Janssen

When you use Hibernate in your projects, you quickly recognize that you need to do more than just add @Entity annotations to your domain model classes. Real-world applications often require advanced mappings, complex queries, custom data types and caching.
Hibernate can do all of that. You just have to know which annotations and APIs you need to use.

Hibernate Tips - More than 70 solutions to common Hibernate problems shows you how to efficiently implement your persistence layer with Hibernate's basic and advanced features. Each Hibernate Tip consists of one or more code samples and an easy to follow step-by-step explanation. You can also download an example project with executable test cases for each Hibernate Tip.
Throughout this book, you will get more than 70 ready-to-use solutions that show you how








This book is for developers who are already working with Hibernate and who are looking for solutions for their current development tasks. It’s not a book for beginners who are looking for extensive descriptions of Hibernate's general concepts.
The tips are designed as self-contained recipes which provide a specific solution and can be accessed when needed. Most of them contain links to related tips which you can follow if you want to dive deeper into a topic or need a slightly different solution. There is no need to read the tips in a specific order. Feel free to read the book from cover to cover or to just pick the tips that help you in your current project.

There are most often two kinds of answers to problems: High-level approach, explaining concept, context and details and a more practical approach, answering concrete questions with ready to use solutions. "Hibernate Tips" takes the later approach. The table of contents reads like a best-of-Hibernate-questions that have been asked during everyday development, from getting started to harder problems. Thorbens book tackles real world tasks and problems that arise during development with Hibernate. The book helps me a lot providing my developers with short, concise answers they need to solve their problem at hand.

As with other topics, the high-level, conceptual view of the persistence layer is important, too. A really good combination of books is "Hibernate Tips: More than 70 solutions to common Hibernate problem" together with Vlad Mihalceas "High-Performance Java Persistence", also available at amazon. Those two books cover both sides of the story. Get them both, the money is well invested.

The book is perfect .
Dry and tight.
Thin details helpful in practic. Save a lot of time.
'The best' is a 'Problem -> Solution' approach.

Pretty good cookbook for JPA, but this Q&A style is strange and has a lot of duplicated texts as well.
