Overview

The Spring framework is an application framework that provides a lightweight container that supports the creation of simple to complex components in a non invasive fashion. Spring's flexibility and transparency is congruent and supportive of incremental development and testing. The framework's structure supports the layering of functionality such as persistence, transactions, view
oriented frameworks, and enterprise systems and capabilities. Spring's Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework enables developers to declaratively apply common features and capabilitiesacross data types in a transparent fashion. Spring makes J2EE development easier. Spring simplifies commons tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Spring makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many J2EE design patterns. Spring puts the OO design back into your J2EE application, and it integrates nicely with JSF. Hibernate is a powerful enabler that addresses object/relational persistence in the Java world. Hibernate offers all the advantages of developing in Java plus a comprehensive suite of capabilities for mapping object oriented features to the relational model. This course tells you what you need to know to design and build your own Hibernate enabled applications. You'll learn the details of the key Hibernate capabilities and how to leverage their strengths, with a special focus on using Hibernate with the Spring framework. If you want to deliver an application using Hibernate within the Spring 2.5 framework, you'll find this course essential.

Who is it for?

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.
