Hibernate and JPA

Hibernate 4 Hibernate 5

featuring HQL, JPQL, Optimistic and Pessimistic Locking, Lazy Initialisation, Detached Objects and Performance

contains over 23 hours of video - equivalent to 5 days of live training.

This Hibernate and JPA training course takes you through all of the major features of Hibernate.
The course is fully practical, and is essentially a 23 hour pair programming session. You will develop production standard code, from scratch in your own IDE.
The Hibernate Training starts from the absolute basics, and takes you to a professional standard.
The JPA Training explains how Hibernate became a Java Standard, and with small changes to your code, you can change which implementation of JPA you work with.
The course is written using Hibernate 4.
The course is valid for all recent versions of Hibernate through to and including Hibernate 5 - there are only minor changes in relation to the fundamentals.

You will need some Java programming knowledge - you will need to be able to create classes and objects, and understand the basic syntax.

No database knowledge is required as an overview of SQL is given.

Introduction 23m 55s A general overview of Hibernate - why would you use it?	Preview
Getting Started 60m 52s We set up your development environment and install Hibernate. Also, an overview of SQL if you need it.	Preview
Persisting Objects 31m 24s How to change a plain Java class into a persitable class.	Watch
Configuring Hibernate 40m 33s How to configure Hibernate, including the hibernate.cfg.xml file	Watch
Manipulating Objects 36m 39s How to update and delete objects.	Watch
More on Mapping 47m 54s More options when you are mapping your classes - @Table, @Column annotations and the difference between field and property access.	Watch
Crashes and Logging 22m 17s How to handle exceptions properly in Hibernate. We also configure log4j to give detailed information that will be useful later.	Watch
Relationships 41m 31s We create a Many-to-One relationship and study how this affects the database.	Preview
Collections 56m 8s We now switch to collections - Sets, Lists and Maps and see how to handle a One-To-Many relationship.	Watch
Bi Directional Relationships 32m 23s One of the biggest mismatches - relations on a database are bidirectional. If you want the same in the Java, you have to work hard!	Watch
Many to Many Relationships 28m 23s This short chapter is followed by a major coding exercise.	Watch
equals and hashCode 40m 1s This is standard Java, but extremely important with databases. We'll also see that autoincrement IDs are not a good choice for implementing equality.	Watch
XML Mappings 46m 35s Optional chapter - only needed if you are using the legacy XML coding style.	Watch
Java Persistence API 47m 4s The JPA is a standardised version of Hibernate - see the differences. We will use JPA for the rest of the course.	Watch
Cascades 28m 0s Cascades can reduce the amount of persistence code you write.	Watch
Embedding Objects 53m 17s How to use the @Embed and @Embeddable annotations.	Watch
Queries - Part One 43m 38s How to use the HQL and JPQL.	Watch
Queries - Part Two 45m 22s More on HQL and JPQL.	Watch
Queries - Part Three 48m 21s Even more on HQL and JPQL!	Watch
Criteria API - Part One 38m 36s How to use the Criteria API in the Classic Hibernate (ie using Sessions).	Watch
Criteria API - Part Two 50m 58s JPA2 also has a criteria API. Full details, including the TypeSafe API.	Watch
Inheritance 64m 14s Three different strategies for handling inheritance - "Single Table", "Joined Table" and "Class per Table".	Watch
Detaching and Merging 52m 40s What is detaching - and how to use the merge() method. Also covers the classic versions of update() and saveOrUpdate()	Watch
Optimistic Locking and Versioning 41m 0s What is optimistic locking? We see that Hibernate can version objects to prevent concurrent database changes affecting your business process.	Watch
Pessimistic Locking 37m 58s These are real database locks and we explain when they need to be used. Also, the difference between PESSIMISTIC_READ and PESSIMISTIC_WRITE.	Watch
Lazy Initialisation 52m 14s This is Hibernate's biggest performance optimisation. We see how you can avoid the LazyInitializationException.	Watch
Tuning Performance 43m 8s More options for performance tuning, include Batch Fetching.	Watch
First Level Cache 39m 6s Everyone needs to understand the First Level Cache. Full details in this chapter.	Watch
Second Level Caching 80m 59s An optional chapter: we configure EhCache as a second level to tune performance.	Watch
Web Applications 78m 27s We now look at a full application that uses JPA and Hibernate.	Watch
Spring Applications 44m 43s How does Spring help with Hibernate? (Nb you need to have studied the previous chapter before this one).	Watch
EJB Applications 51m 51s If you're using JavaEE with an application server, then this chapter shows how to integrate JPA with that. We use Glassfish as an example.	Watch
Course Review 22m 6s The best books on the market, where to go from here and a few things we missed!	Watch
Bonus Chapter - Isolations 17m 58s This is a short extract from our Spring Fundamentals course, where we cover Isolation levels. This may be of interest if you want to explore locking in a little more detail.	Watch
