The Spring Framework is one of the leading lightweight architectures for creating enterprise-scale applications in Java. Hibernate is a popular object-relational mapping tool, and is well-suited to Spring-based solutions.
This course provides thorough coverage of both technologies, and shows how they can be used together effectively. You will learn how to use Spring to create enterprise-scale components including Web applications, Web services, data-access components, and messaging components. You will also learn how to use Hibernate to map Java classes to databases, and how to execute queries using a variety of techniques.
What youll learn:
• Creating and using Spring beans
• Implementing dependency injection
• Using Spring data access and transaction APIs
• Creating Spring MVC Web applications
• Defining and using Web services using Spring
• Understand Hibernate mapping and API choices
• Mapping classes to tables
• Using JPA and / or HQL to query entities
• Mapping associations
