Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate

by Catalin Tudose

Master Java persistence using the industry-leading tools Spring Data and Hibernate.

In Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate you will learn:

Mapping persistent classes, value types, and inheritance
Mapping collections and entity associations
Processing transactions with Spring Data and Hibernate
Creating fetch plans, strategies, and profiles
Filtering data
Building Spring Data REST projects
Using Java persistence with non-relational databases
Querying JPA with QueryDSL
Testing Java persistence applications

Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate teaches you the ins-and-outs of Java persistence with hands-on examples using Spring Data, JPA, and Hibernate. The book carefully analyzes the capabilities of the major Java persistence tools, and guides you through the most common use cases. By comparing and contrasting the alternatives, you’ll find it easy to choose the right tool choice for your applications. You’ll learn how to make and utilize mapping strategies, about the different approach to transactions for both Hibernate and Spring Data, and even how to efficiently test Java persistence applications. The practical techniques are demonstrated with both relational and non-relational databases.

About the technology

Effectively managing application data is essential for any serious application. Spring Data and Hibernate bridge the gap between object-oriented code and relational data stores, radically simplifying Java persistence. By implementing the Java Persistence API (JPA) standard, these powerful tools help you avoid common bugs related to state and application data storage.

About the book

Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate explores Java persistence using industry-standard tools. Hands-on examples introduce object-relational mapping and guide you through different mapping strategies to suit your needs. Covering transactions, persistent application testing, and non-relational databases, this book is your go-to resource for managing data in Java applications.

I wish this book explained more examples of the use of @Transactional annotation and the use of @DataJpaTest, or how we can leverage spring to also add audited data, like Created by not only created date. Also it will be nice if it explained how jpa can be used to create SQL schemas.

Anyway is a nice book, is a must read to everyone using JPA or hibernate.

[Özgür · Rating 4 out of 5]

First half of the book is quite a bit dense and detailed from my perspective. So, it took me a while to complete and even it caused me to give several breaks which broke my reading momentum. Application themed second half of it is much more easier to understand and complete if you have some experience.

I bought this book from manning.com. It included livebook, audio, pdf, mobile and kindle. They gave me old version free. New version was meaps that time. It was very useful. Explanations and examples are detailed and precise. I love it and highly recommend it

[Steve Dawsonn-Andoh · Rating 5 out of 5]

it is the panacea for Hibernate we have all been waiting for. The chapter on Filtering data is my favorite. each chapter is easy to read and provides a clear and straightforward explanation. I wish I had this book when I started my journey with Hibernate.

This book is crucial not only for newbies but also for any senior developers working with JVM Persistence.

[Amrah Umudlu · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book, that can clearly explains Spring Data JPA basics to even entry level developer.

[Sergiy Pylypets · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a comprehensive but clear book, enriched with numerous easy-to-follow examples. Can be useful for every software engineer, who deals with the persistence layer implementation.

[Volodymyr Bilyachat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book but I wish liquibase or similar tools are covered as approach yo do sql schema migrations

[Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

A comprehensive resource that the Java Back-end developer cannot be without. This is an up-to-date book on the topic that I could find. It covers the most popular tools for Java Persistence implementations - with SQL and NoSQL. The source code is provided in detail and is great for learning this subject.

This is one of those books you will always refer back to - highly recommended!
