Spring+JPA+Hibernate: Standards Meeting Productivity for Java Persistence

Well the standards created EntityBeans…. yea. and the community created Hibernate. Fortunately the standards body learned some lessons and created JPA. JPA requires a vendor implementation and none make a better choice then Hibernate. Combined with Spring this trio is a powerhouse when it comes to developer productivity on applications requiring persistence.

This session will look at in detail the persistence capabilities of the latest Spring 2.5 and how to provide data access capabilities, including nicely added features for unit tests. We'll focus the persistence discussion on JPA and examine a number of ORM mapping scenarios and how JPA maps to them. We'll focus on the spring integration including transactional capabilities.
