Central Iowa Software Symposium

Spring Data and the Java Persistence API
Saturday - May 14 1:00 PM CDT - DALLAS
The Spring Data JPA allows you to work with relational databases quickly and easily. Spring Data adds an abstraction layer over Hibernate or other JPA providers. It provides transactional support, pagination, sorting, dynamic query execution, and the ability to integrate custom data access code into your projects. This presentation will cover the basics of mapping domain classes to database tables, working with relationships, transactional attributes like propagation and isolation, eager vs lazy fetching, and more.
Examples will use Spring Boot projects, both that let Hibernate generate the database schema and from existing databases. If time is available, demos will show how to add auditing information, optimistic locking, executing stored procedures, and more.
