Objectives
Students who attend Integrating Spring 2.5 and Hibernate will leave the course armed with the required skills to design and implement Spring applications that effectively and transparently use Hibernate to manage data persistence. This course provides coverage of Hibernate concepts and practices for interacting between Java and relational databases. The areas addressed in this course range from data/class mapping and persisted object lifecycle and management to how Hibernate can be used in the Spring 2.5framework. Working in a dynamic, lab intensive hands on coding environment students will learn to:
• Explain the issues associated with complex frameworks such as J2EE and how Spring addresses those issues
• Understand the relationships between Spring and J2EE, AOP, IOC, JDBC, Hibernate, JSF, Struts, JMS, and EJBs.
• Write applications that take advantage of the Spring container and the declarative nature of assembling simple components into applications.
• Work with Spring's support for transactions
• Explain how the issues associated with object persistence in a relational model are addressed by Hibernate
• Understand the relationships between SQL, Java, Spring, and Hibernate
• Write applications that take advantage of the Hibernate Persistence Manager.
• Map Java classes to relational tables.
• Capture both relational and inheritance associations in metadata using either XML or the Java 5 Annotations mechanism.
• Create and use mappings between Java classes and relational databases.
• Understand how identity and keys are handled in Hibernate.
• Understand the persistent object lifecycle and how that relates to transactions and concurrency.
• Understand how to use Hibernate within the Spring framework
The course provides a solid foundation in essential terminology and concepts, extended and built upon throughout the engagement.
Processes and best practices are discussed and illustrated through both discussions and group activities.
Attending students will be led through a series of advanced topics comprised of integrated lectures, extensive hands on lab exercises,discussions and comprehensive demonstrations. Please see below for additional information about the hands on lab work.

Prerequisites
This an intermediate level and beyond Java training course,designed for evelopers who need to understand how and when to use Hibernate in Spring applications. Attendees should havepractical basic Java development experience equivalent to our TT2100 Core Java Fundamentals course.
