Advanced Hibernate

Hibernate is easy to get started with, but can sometimes be hard to make efficient or secure. In fact, the default settings for Hibernate createapplications that will run slowly, cause unwanted round trips to the database, and may be more restrictive and/or permissive from a security standpointthan you would otherwise want.

This session will show advanced techniques for tuning performance, including:
• advanced collection mapping strategies
• lazy loading
• cascading update management
• lifecycle management
• Hibernate's interceptor layer
In addition, we'll examine the security considerations when using Hibernate. Often, single-credential data access isn't enough for sensitive data. We'll
walk through using per-user credentials for data access, logging security information about and through Hibernate, and accessing data sources through secure application servers.
